Delineation of discovery in Norwegian Sea (6507/2-7 S)

Fossil Energy – Gas in Appraisal Well

Aker BP has proven gas in appraisal well 6507/2-7 S in the Norwegian Sea, 230 kilometres west of Sandnessjøen.

The well, situated around 12 kilometres west of the Skarv field, was drilled to confirm the size of the previous discoveries made in 2022 in 6507/2-6 (Storjo East and Kaneljo in Jurassic and Cretaceous reservoir rocks, respectively).

Preliminary estimates place the size of the discoveries between 2 and 8.7 million standard cubic metres (Sm3) of recoverable oil equivalent in the primary exploration target.

This corresponds to around 13-55 million barrels of oil equivalent.

In the secondary exploration target, the preliminary estimate is between 1.3-1.8 million Sm3 of recoverable oil equivalent, which corresponds to around 8-12 million barrels of oil equivalent.

Aker BP is the operator of production licence 261 with Wintershall Dea(Harbour Energy) as the other licensee. The licensees will consider tying the discoveries back to existing infrastructure in the area.
