Lundin spuds Rolvsnes in North Sea

Lundin Petroleum has started drilling exploration well 16/1-25 S on the Rolvsnes prospect in PL338C about 6km south of the Edvard Grieg field in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea.

Well 16/1-25 S will explore the Rolvsnes area, between the Edvard Grieg field and the Luno II discovery. 

The main objective of well 16/1-25 S is to test the hydrocarbon potential in thin Jurassic/Cretaceous sandstone reservoir overlying porous fractured basement. Lundin Petroleum estimates the Rolvsnes prospect to contain gross unrisked prospective resources of 107 MMboe.

The planned total depth is approximately 2275m below mean sea level and the well will be drilled with the semi-submersible drilling unit Bredford Dolphin. The drilling operation is expected to take approximately 45 days.

Lundin Norway is the operator of PL338C with 50% working interest. The partners are Lime Petroleum Norway with 30% and OMV (Norge) AS with 20% working interest.
