Statoil to develop new small discovery in the 30/9-27 S in production license 104 as part of Oseberg Delta project.
The well was drilled about 7km west of the Oseberg Sør-field in the northern part of the North Sea, 150km west of Bergen.
Its aim was to prove petroleum in Middle Jurassic reservoir rocks (the Tarbert Formation). The well encountered a 34m oil column in sandstone with moderate to good reservoir quality. The oil/water contact was encountered 3242m below sea level.
Preliminary estimates of the size of the discovery are 1-2 MMcu m of recoverable oil equivalents.
The discovery will be developed together with the Oseberg Delta 2 project, which is under development, and the licensees are assessing a production well in the structure encountered by wildcat well 30/9-27 S.
The well was the 26th exploration well drilled in production license 104. The license was awarded in the ninth licensing round.
The well was drilled to a measured and vertical depth of 3,989 and 3353m, respectively, below the sea surface and was terminated in Middle Jurassic rocks (the Ness Formation). The water depth at the site is 103m. The well has been permanently plugged and abandoned.
Well 30/9-27 S was drilled by the drilling facility Songa Delta, which will now drill development well 30/9-O-2 H in the same production license.
