Oil company BP and partners Idemitsu, Revus Energy and RWE Dea Norge have a new oil discovery in the North Sea offshore Norway, it was learned Monday.
Well 34/3-1 S in License 373 proved “an oil accumulation” in Jurassic-era rock northeast of the Snorre field.. A side track well will seek to understand the breadth of the discovery, which was made in the high-pressure earth’s crust some four kilometres “vertical depth”.
The news comes on the heels of more exploration news from Brazil, where BG at the weekend could herald a new oil discovery, called Iara, below the salt of the Santos Basin.
Iara was a new discovery and the third well to encounter hydrocarbons in the concession area.
