The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate has announced that Det Norske Oljeselskap (formerly Pertra), which is the operator of production license 337, has finalized the drilling of a wildcat well and the appraisal well.
Det Norske Oljeselskap estimates that the size of the recoverable volume in the Storskrymten prospect, which now comprises reservoirs in both the Ty and Heimdal formations, to be between 10 and 45 million barrels.
Erik Haugane, CEO of Det Norske Oljeselskap, said: That oil proven in several reservoir sections in Paleocene is not uncommon, and in this case seems promising for both Storskrymten and the possibility of making additional discoveries in the area.
