OSLO, Norway — Harbour Energy has confirmed gas with its first well on a previously discovered accumulation in the Norwegian North Sea.
Well 15/9-25, drilled by the jackup Noble Integrator northeast of the Sleipner area, encountered a 10-m gas column in a 118-m thick Ty Formation sandstone reservoir, according to the Norwegian Energy Directorate (NOD).
It was Harbour’s first well on production license 1138, which was awarded under Norway’s APA Round process in 2021. Gas was first proven in wells 16/7-2 and 16/7-10, drilled in 1982 and 2011.
The NOD estimates the overall recoverable gas volume in the range 1 MMcmoe to 3 MMcmoe.
Harbour and partners Sval Energi and Aker BP will assess the potential for connecting the discovery to infrastructure in the area.
