Lundin Petroleum has spudded an exploration well on the Gemini prospect of the Edvard Grieg field.
The company’s subsidiary Lundin Norway said well 16/1-24 in PL338C will investigate the hydrocarbon potential of the prospect.
It will test the reservoir properties and hydrocarbon potential of Lower Paleocene aged sandstones of the Ty formation.
Lundin estimates the Gemini prospect has the potential for unrisked, gross prospective resources of 93 million barrels of oil equivalent.
The planned total depth is approximately 2,192metres below sea level and the well will be drilled using the semi-submersible rig Island Innovator.
The drilling operation is expected to take around 40 days.
Lundin Petroleum is the operator of PL338C with 80% working interest. OMV Norge AS is partner with 20% working interest.
