STAVANGER -- BG Norge, operator of North Sea production license PL292, proved a gas and oil accumulation in reservoirs of Jurassic (Sleipner fm.) and Triassic (Skagerrak fm.) age with exploration well 15/12-19. The well was tested with an oil rate of approximately 750 cu m/d.
The overall resource potential is currently being evaluated. A preliminary estimate indicates recoverable reserves of between 3-5 cu m of oil equivalent, which also includes the 6/3-1 discovery. Field development planning is under way.
The well was drilled with theMærsk Guardian jackup in a water depth of 86 m (282 ft) to 3,169 m (10,397 ft) TVD below sea level. The rig will move to PL 274 to drill exploration well 1/3-11 for Dong.
