The discovery wells 34/10-54 S and 34/10-54 A are located approximately 10 km north of the planned Valemon installation. The main wellbore 34/10-54 S proved a gross 164 m gas/condensate and oil column in the Middle Jurassic Brent Group. The side-track 34/10-54 A proved a gross 100 m gas/condensate column in the Brent Group and in sand of unspecified Jurassic age, and an additional gross 140 m gas/condensate column in the Statfjord Group. Gas/condensate was also found in the middle Jurassic Cook Formation.
