The semisubmersible Transocean Norge drilled the exploration well 6407/1-A-3 BH in 288 m (945 ft) of water in production license 073 from subsea template A at Tyrihans North.
It encountered a 43-m (141-ft) gas column and a 15-m (49-ft) oil column in Jurassic reservoir rocks.
This was the sixth exploration well drilled on the Tyrihans field. It was completed in the Åre formation, and will be permanently P&A’d.
