LONDON – Neptune Energy has found hydrocarbons in the Dugong prospect in the Norwegian North Sea.
The semisubmersible Deepsea Yantai is drilling the Dugong well in license PL 882. The location is 158 km (98 mi) west of Florø, Norway, in a water depth of 330 m (1,082 ft), and close to the Snorre field production facilities.
Once the well had entered the reservoir, at a subsurface depth of 3,250-3,400 m (10,663-11,155 ft), logs and cuttings identified hydrocarbons and the partners have decided to initiate coring.
A contingent side track may follow to help define the extent of the discovery.
Neptune Energy operates with a 40% interest, in partnership with Concedo (20%), Petrolia NOCO (20%), and Idemitsu Petroleum Norge (20%).
