Norwegian fossil fuel board of directors announcess high exploration activity and eight new discoveries throughout the primary six months of the year
Monday, Jul 01, 2013
As of twenty eight Gregorian calendar month, twenty eight exploration wells are spudded on the Norwegian shelf. Of these, nineteen were wildcat wells and 9 were appraisal wells.
Eight discoveries were made; six within the North Sea and 2 within the sea.
“The past six months are busy for the Norwegian fossil fuel board of directors (NPD). We’ve processed many plans for development and operation of fields, and therefore the level of activity and exploration on the Norwegian shelf has been high,” concludes Director General Bente Nyland.
“So so much this year, the invention rate has been somewhat below average, however variety of fascinating wells stay. i'm somewhat discomfited by the result from the “Nunatak” well, however am excited regarding the results from the opposite wells to be trained within the Johan Castberg ares. I’m additionally excited to ascertain the check results from the ‘Norvarg’ discovery”.
At the time of writing (28 June), 9 exploration wells area unit being trained on the Norwegian shelf. twenty eight exploration wells are spudded, and twenty seven are terminated. this is often a rise from last year, once nineteen exploration wells had been spudded by the half of Gregorian calendar month.
The NPD’s prognosis for 2013 of regarding fifty spudded exploration wells so seems to be sound.
Exploration activity has been greatest within the North Sea, and has primarily been related to delineation of the Johan explorer discovery. Six new discoveries have additionally been created within the North Sea, likewise as 2 within the sea. with the exception of a number of exceptions, these area unit minor discoveries.
Dong has created a minor gas/condensate discovery in exploration well 3/7-8 S, south of the Trym field within the southern tip of the North Sea. The preliminary size of the invention has been calculated at between one and 2 million customary solid metres (Sm3) of recoverable oil equivalents (o.e.).
Further north, within the Sleipner space, Statoil has proved oil in observation well 15/9-11 A, in a very section northwest of the Volve field. the invention can increase the field’s resources by between zero.6 to 0.7 million Sm3 of recoverable oil.
In the central a part of the North Sea, Lundin has proved oil in well 16/4-6 S, simply south of the Grieg field, that is additionally operated by Lundin. the invention is taken into account to be commercially fascinating, and preliminary resource figures area unit between 4-19 million Sm3 of recoverable oil. extra wells are going to be required to delineate the invention.
In the same space, Ivar Aasen, operated by Det norske, has been represented with wells 16/1-16 and 16/1-16 A. The wells were trained within the neighbor licence, production licence 457, that is operated by Wintershall Noreg. These wells proved 3-6 million Sm3 of recoverable oil, and therefore the volumes offer increased resources within the Ivar Aasen field, that is regular for development.
East of Grane, Statoil has proved oil in well 25/11-27. the invention has been calculable to contain between two.8-5.2 million Sm3 of recoverable oil.
Statoil has created 2 new discoveries close to the Gullfaks field. In production well 34/10-A-8, that was trained in 1987, a formation was tested higher than the manufacturing reservoir. The check proved oil reservoirs with sensible flow properties. the invention is calculable to contain between 6-24 million Sm3 of recoverable o.e. it's going to be additional, which might facilitate extend the period of time of Gullfaks.
Northeast of Visund within the same space, a minor gas discovery was created in exploration well 34/8-15 S. Preliminary calculations indicate that the invention contains between zero.7-1.6 million Sm3 of recoverable o.e.
Between the Vigdis and Snorre fields, in observation well 34/7-H-2, a 24-metre oil column was proved within the Cook formation in geological period rocks. There are not any resource figures for the invention at now.
In the Gjøa space within the northern North Sea, the 35/9-7 “Skarfjell” discovery, that was proved in 2012 by Wintershall, was represented by well 35/9-8. the invention was formation-tested, and once this well is projected to contain between 10-25 million Sm3 of recoverable oil.
Two minor discoveries were created south of Åsgard within the sea, each by Wintershall. Gas/condensate was proved in well 6407/1-6 S. Preliminary calculations indicate that the invention contains between 3-10 million Sm3 of recoverable o.e. The extent of the invention is very unsure. A minor gas discovery was created within the recently completed well 6406/6-3, with resources slightly below one billion Sm3 of recoverable gas. 5 wells area unit presently being trained within the sea.
