Stockholm –Lundin Petroleum has commenced exploratory drilling of well 6405/12-1 in PL584.
The well will investigate the hydrocarbon potential of the Lindarormen prospect in the license, about 93 m (150 km) northwest of Kristiansund on the Norwegian coast and about 50 mi (80 km) northeast of the Ormen Lange field.
The main objective of the well 6405/12-1 is to test the reservoir properties and hydrocarbon potential of Paleocene sandstones in the Ras Basin. The prospect is estimated to hold 194 MMboe.
Lundin expects to reach a TD of 10,761 ft (3,280 m) below mean sea level and the well will be drilled using theBredford Dolphin semisubmersible. Drilling is expected to take about 60 days.
