Lundin Petroleum has started drilling exploration well 26/10-1 on the Zulu prospect in production license (PL) 674BS, 100km west of Stavanger in the North Sea.
Zulu is about 30 km northeast of the Johan Sverdrup discovery. The main objective of the Zulu well is to test the reservoir properties and hydrocarbon potential of Miocene aged sandstones of the Utsira Formation in the Patch Bank Ridge.
Lundin Petroleum estimates the Zulu prospect to contain unrisked, gross prospective resources of up to 153 MMboe.
The planned total depth is 1020m below mean sea level and the well will be drilled using the semisubmersible drilling unit Island Innovator (pictured).
Drilling is expected to take approximately 25 days. Lundin Norway is the operator and has a 35% working interest in PL674BS. Petrolia Norway and E.ON E&P Norge are partners with 35% and 30% working interest respectively.
