Wintershall Dea has made an oil discovery at the Bergknapp prospect in the Norwegian Sea, close to the Maria field.
The well, drilled by the Scarabeo 8 drilling rig, encountered an oil column of at least 60 meters in the Garn Formation and an oil column of at least 120 meters in the Tilje Formation, with reservoir qualities ranging from poor to good.
Initial recoverable resource estimates put the discovery at between 26 and 97 million barrels of oil equivalent.
The license partnership will now initiate studies, investigate potential appraisal measures and development options for the discovery.
