The Wintershall-operated Asha East well offshore Norway has come up dry, partner Bridge Energy announced.
The well will be plugged and abandoned due to no signs of movable hydrocarbons, Bridge said. The primary target in Asha East was Hugin (Jurassic) sandstone with a secondary target in the Skagerrak Fm (Triassic).
Bridge has a 20% interest in the PL457 licence. Wintershall is the operator with 40%, with the other partners VNG (20%) and E.ON (20%).
