Project Profile
Location: Nyk High in the Vøring Basin (Norwegian Sea)
Area: 1,201 sq km
Start-up Year: -
This license is located on the Nyk High in the Vøring Basin (Norwegian Sea), immediately east and northeast of the Luva, Haklang and Snefrid discoveries. Several prospects have been identified within the license, with prospectivity present at multiple reservoir levels. Three of these prospects were tested by acquiring CSEM data, prior to application. After processing of the data Rocksource has concluded that resistivity anomalies are associated with the prospects, and the observed anomalies are likely to be caused by hydrocarbons.
The PL528 licence contains the Ivory prospect sanctioned for drilling in the second half of 2014. The Ivory prospect is gas prone with Direct Hydrocarbon Indicator (DHI) support. It is adjacent to the Statoil-operated Aasta Hansteen field development which is due to come on stream in 2017.
