The Bister exploration well 6407/8-7 in the Norwegian Sea has been spudded, said partner Faroe Petroleum. The probe lies in Production Licence 348C (PL 348C), which also contains the producing Hyme field and the 2013 Snilehorn discovery. PL 348C is located adjacent to the producing Njord field (Faroe 7.5%) with Statoil as the operator of both PL 348 and Njord. "Well 6407/8-7 will be targeting oil and gas in the Jurassic, He, Tilje and Are formations (analogous to the Hyme oil field and Snilehorn reservoirs). There is a seismic amplitude anomaly on the Bister prospect of a similar character to the anomalies on both the Snilehorn discovery (estimated gross recoverable resource range of 57m-101m boe) and the Hyme field," Faroe said.
