(WO) — Vår Energi and Equinor have found fuel and condensate on the Lakris prospect within the Norwegian Sea, with preliminary estimates indicating recoverable sources of 1.3 MMboe to five.5 MMboe.
The invention was made in wildcat effectively 6407/5-3 S in manufacturing license 1002, within the Gimsan basin on the Halten Terrace, roughly 170 km northwest of Kristiansund. Vår Energi operates the license, by which Equinor is a associate. The effectively was drilled by the COSL Prospector rig.
The effectively encountered fuel and condensate in 54 m of heterogeneous reservoir rocks within the higher Tilje Formation, though reservoir high quality was average to poor. The gas-water contact was not encountered, and hydrocarbon reveals have been additionally recognized within the decrease Tilje Formation.
The effectively didn’t encounter a sandstone reservoir within the focused Nise Formation, though elevated fuel readings have been recorded within the interval. The Garn, Ile and Tofte formations have been additionally investigated, however the intervals contained water and had average to poor reservoir high quality.
The effectively reached a vertical depth of 4,225 m beneath sea degree in a water depth of 218 m. It was not formation-tested, however knowledge and samples have been collected. The effectively will now be completely plugged and deserted.
