This follows consent from Petroleum Safety Authority Norway to use the jackupMaersk Giant for the three horizontal wells (1/3-A-1H, -2H, and -3H). The program should last around 305 days.
Oselvar, discovered in 1991, straddles production licenses 274 and 274CS. Water depth is around 72 m (236 ft). Towards end-2011, production will be routed to BP’s Ula complex, which also handles output from the Tambar and Blane fields.
