Peking Duck tastes sweet

摘要

ConocoPhillips has hit pay in its Peking Duck exploration well and sidetrack in the Norwegian North Sea, the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD) said. Wildcat wells 7/11-12 S and 7/11-12 A proved gas about 19km southwest of the Ula field. The NPD said: "The objective of well 7/11-12 S was to prove petroleum in Triassic reservoir rocks (Skagerrak formation). A 40m (131ft) gross gas column was encountered in Jurassic Age (Ula formation) reservoir rocks, and the reservoir quality in Triassic rocks was poorer than expected.
