Lundin Petroleum AB, has, through its wholly owned subsidiary Lundin Norway AS, completed the drilling of exploration well 16/1-17 in PL338. The well targeted the Jorvik prospect located in a separate basin directly east of the Edvard Grieg field.

The main objective of well 16/1-17 was to prove the presence of oil-bearing sandstones and conglomerates in a basin fill sequence. Based on sampling, mobile oil is proven in tight reservoir, consisting of conglomeratic and pebbly sandstones.

The well was drilled into basement and water pressure indicates a pressure regime close to the Edvard Grieg field and the Luno South discovery. Extensive data acquisition and sampling have been carried out in the well. The whole reservoir sequence including basement has been cored.
