3/8/2010 - LUNDIN DRILLS DUSTER WITH LUNO EXPLORATION WELL |
| Lundin Petroleum completed the drilling of exploration well 16/4-5 on the Greater Luno Area Extension prospect located in Block 16/4, PL 359, in the Norwegian North Sea. The well encountered non-reservoir sedimentary rocks above tight fractured granitic basement at the prognosed reservoir level. The granitic basement showed abundant cemented fractures. Where open fractures were present oil staining was encountered.
An extensive data acquisition program was performed on this well, including coring, wireline logging and MDT programs. The well was plugged and abandoned as a non-commercial well.
The exploration well was drilled with the TRANSOCEAN WINNER semi drilling rig to a total vertical depth of 1,994m mean sea level in a water depth of 341 FSW (104 MSW).
Lundin Norway AS is the operator of PL 359 with a 40% interest. Partners are Statoil Petroleum AS and Premier Oil Norge AS, each with a 30% interest. |
