Wintershall-5

Wintershall reports the successful drilling of the Skarfjell appraisal well in the Northeastern North Sea. The well 35/9-8 was drilled 1.8 kilometers north of the Skarfjell discovery well (35/9-7), and approximately 16 kilometers southwest of the Gjøa platform.

The purpose of the well was to prove oil in the upper Jurassic Intra Heather sandstones, as found in the discovery well (35/9-7). 'The appraisal well confirms the northern extension of the reservoir sands found in the discovery well and our estimated volume range of 60-160 million barrels. The successful production test has also demonstrated reservoir deliverability. Our second appraisal well will evaluate field extension to the south, after which we will evaluate a possible development,' says Bernd Schrimpf, Managing Director of Wintershall Norge AS.

A second appraisal well is being planned in the Southern part of the Skarfjell structure with implementation by mid-2014. The Skarfjell discovery will be further evaluated for a development together with other discoveries in the area as a tie back to the Gjøa field or as a standalone development. The well 35/9-8 is the second well in production license PL 418, which was awarded in the APA 2006.
