Lundin Norway AS, operator of production licence 338, is in the process of completing the drilling of appraisal well 16/1-23 S on the Edvard Grieg oil field in the central section of the North Sea.
Appraisal well 16/1-23 S is drilled 2.4 kilometres southeast of the Edvard Grieg platform.
The field was proven in the autumn of 2007 and consists of Cretaceous, Jurassic and Triassic reservoir rocks. Prior to well 16/1-23 S being drilled, the operator's resource estimate for the field was 29.8 million standard cubic metres of recoverable oil.
The purpose of the well was to investigate reservoir rocks, reservoir properties and the oil/water contact as regards delineating the south-eastern section of the Edvard Grieg field. In addition, the purpose was to optimise the drainage strategy for the best possible location of production wells in this area.
