Det norske has taken over the operatorship for production license 442 from Centrica and has been given consent to drill an exploration well in a prospect named Langfjellet by the Petroleum Safety Authority Norway (PSA).
Well 25/2-18 S, 134km west of Austevoll in Hordaland county, will be in 122m of water depth.
The activity is scheduled to begin in August 2016 and will last between 31 and 80 days depending on whether a discovery is made.
The well will be drilled using the Maersk Interceptor, an ultra-harsh environment jackup rig operated by Maersk Drilling Norge.
