Edison Norge’s first exploration well for its North Sea licence has come up dry.
The company said the wildcat well 2/11-11 was drilled about seven kilometres southwest of the Valhall field and about five kilometres west of the Hod field.
Edison said the well, which is the first exploration well in the production licence since it was awarded in 2011, will now be plugged and abandoned.
It was drilled by the Transocean Searcher drilling facility, which will now be laid up.
