Total used Ocean Rig’s semi-submersible Liev Eiriksson to drill an appraisal well, 7225/3-2, in PL 535, about five kilometres north-east of the Norvarg discovery well in 377 metres of water. The well’s objective was to delineate and appraise the reservoir quality and productivity of the Triassic Kobbe formation of the Norvarg find, made in 2011.
In June, Det norske reported the well hitting a thick gas interval in the formation with variable reservoir quality, more sand and better porosities than the first Norvarg well.
