Statoil Strikes Gas and Condensate near Sleipner Ost

摘要

Statoil ASA, operator of production license 569, has completed the drilling of wildcat well 16/7-10. The well proved gas/condensate. The well was drilled 16 kilometers northeast of the Sleipner Ost field in the North Sea. The purpose of the well was to prove petroleum in Paleocene reservoir rocks (the Ty formation). Only a thin gas/condensate column was encountered in a 115-meter thick reservoir with the expected reservoir quality. The licensees will evaluate the discovery together with other nearby discoveries.
