Repsol's Barents Sea well comes up dry

摘要

London-A Repsol-operated exploration well in the Norwegian sector of the Barents Sea has come up dry, but one of the Spanish com- pany's partners in the drill, UK-based Faroe Petroleum, said its appetite for the relatively underexplored region remains intact. Another partner, Norwegian independent Det norske oljeselskap, said April 8 that wild- cat well 7218/11-1 T2 was the first explora- tion well to be drilled in license area PL531, which was awarded in the 20th licensing round on the Norwegian shelf in 2009.
