DNO Norge, and its partners Aker BP, Japex Norge, and Concedo, will use Odfjell Drilling’s Deepsea Yantai semi-submersible rig to drill a 35/10-15 S wildcat well in production license 1182 S.

The Deepsea Yantai rig is a harsh environment drilling rig able to operate at - 22℃.

The rig can operate at a water depth of up to 500 meters and drill wells down to a depth of 8000 meters.

It is owned by CIMC Raffles and managed by Odfjell Drilling.

DNO Norge operates the license with 40% percent, while Aker BP has a 30% stake, with Japex Norge and Concedo each holding 15%.
