Located on the central part of the Johan Sverdrup discovery, the well has been drilled to determine the depth, quality and thickness of the Jurassic reservoir sequences.
Lundin said the closest well, 16/2-7, is located about 2.5km to the east, while well 16/5-2S is located 3.8km to the south.
According to the company, the large distances to the closest wells in the central area of Johan Sverdrup reflects the size of the discovery.
Lundin will drill 16/2-21 well as the first of a three-well appraisal drilling campaign at Johan Sverdrup, in PL501, in 2013.
During the drilling activity, well 16/2-21 is anticipated to improve the knowledge of the field outline, the resource base, and the reservoir characteristics in the area.
