Well 2/8-18 S is Faroe Petroleum's first operated well in Norway and will target the Clapton Prospect located in PL440 S in block 2/8, approximately three miles (5 kilometers) east of the Eldfisk East Field and just over six miles (10 kilometers) north of the Valhall Field.
Clapton is a chalk prospect on the flanks of the salt induced Mode Dome and the well will target the Ekofisk, Tor and Hod formations, which are the main producing reservoirs in the neighbouring fields.
