Ormen Lange potential doubted

摘要

A new appraisal well drilled on the Ormen Lange field offshore Norway has raised the spectre that the field might contain far less gas than originally believed. Shell has just completed drilling the appraisal well, which was aimed at delineating the northern extent of the giant gas field offshore Norway. Well 6305/5-3 S encountered reservoir rocks of variable quality in both the Egga reservoir unit and the Jorsalfare formation, the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD) said today.
