Drilling Activity Details
Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Statoil completed drilling at appraisal well #16/2-22S on the Johan Sverdrup Field in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea. The well is in production license PL265, Block 16/2, and was drilled to 1,963 m and terminated in the granitic basement. It has been permanently plugged and abandoned. Water depth at the site is 115 m. The objective of the well was to prove petroleum in Upper Jurassic reservoir rocks (Draupne) and to investigate pressure communication to the northern part of the field. The well encountered a total oil column of 16 m, most likely in Draupne, with alternating sandstone, siltstone and clay stone. Stavanger-based Statoil is the operator for the unitized Johan Sverdrup development. It operates PL265 with 40% interest in partnership with Petoro, holding 30% and Det Norske Oljeselskap, with 20%, and Lundin with the remaining 10%. Lundin Petroleum BV is the operator of PL501 with a 40% interest with Statoil holding 40% and Maersk Oil the remaining 20%.
