Two exploration wells drilled on the Torvastad prospect by Lundin Petroleum near the Johan Sverdrup oil discovery offshore Norway have proved disappointing. Wildcat wells 16/2-20 S and 16/2 20 A have come up dry. The wells were drilled around 3.2 km northwest of appraisal well 16/2-9 S on the 16/2-6 Johan Sverdrup oil discovery in the central . part of the Norwegian North Sea. The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate said: "The objective of well 16/2-20 S was to prove petroleum in Upper/Middle Jurassic reservoir rocks in a separate prospect, as well as to verify potential communication with 16/2-6 Johan Sverdrup.
