Lundin has successfully completed the sidetrack 16/2-13A of the appraisal well 16/2-13S on the giant Johan Sverdrup field offshore Norway on block 16/2.
The company said the results from the well are excellent in respect of reservoir quality and thickness, validating the field geological model and confirming a deeper oil-water contact at this location.
It said that the well, 16/2-13S, was drilled about 2.4km northeast of the discovery well 16/2-6. It has been decided that the location of one of the remaining two 2012 appraisal wells to be drilled will be in the northern Johan Sverdrup area.
The appraisal well 16/2-16 will be drilled 3.7 km to the northwest of the 16/2-13 well.
