StatoilHydro and partners have drilled a duster with the 33rd well drilled in one of the Norwegian North Sea’s most prolific areas.
Well 34/7-33 was drilled just 4.5 kilometres from the Tordis field and seven kilometres from the Vigdis field in an area known for large gas finds. Rocks of the mid-Jurassic age were the well’s target.
License 089 partners are many to spread the risk of wells costing tens of millions of dollars. Partners in the dry well include the following: state entity Petoro with 30 percent; operator StatoilHydro with (41 percent); ExxonMobil E&P Norway (10.5 percent); Idemitsu Petroleum (9.6 percent); Total E&P Norge (5.6 percent) and Germany’s RWE Dea (2.8 percent).
The license was awarded in Norway’s Round 8 of licensing back in 1984.
The Ocean Vanguard semi-submersible drill rig stopped the bit spinning when the bore hole reached 2,592 m total depth. The rig will now move to drill well 6608/10-12 for StatoilHydro in production licence 128.
