Project Profile
Value: Undisclosed
Location: 30 km northwest of the Ekofisk field in the southern part of the North Sea
Water Depth: 70 metres
BG Norge AS, operator of production licence 297, drilled the wildcat well 1/3-12 S. The well is located about 30 km northwest of the Ekofisk field in the southern part of the North Sea.
The purpose of the well was to prove petroleum in reservoir rocks in the Skagerrak formation from the Late Triassic Age. The well encountered thinner reservoir rocks with poorer than expected reservoir properties, which were water-bearing.
The well is the first exploration well in production licence 297, which was awarded in APA 2003.
The well will now be permanently plugged and abandoned.
