    OSLO, Norway – DNO North Sea will drill its first well on Norwegian Sea license PL888, after securing approval from the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate.

    Island Drilling’s semisubmersible Island Innovator will drill appraisal well 6507/7-16 S, 3 km (1.86 mi) west of the Heidrun field and 250 km (155 mi) north of Kristiansund.
