DONG Efterforskning og Produktion A/S, operator for license 6/95 in the North Sea, completed drilling of the Sofie-2/2A (5605/13-5) appraisal well on the 2003 Sofie oil discovery.
The Sofie-2 vertical well was drilled with theENSCO 70 jackup approximately 2 km east of Sofie-1. The well reached total depth at 1,951 m below mean sea level in Danian age chalk confirming oil in the Paleogene sandstone reservoir.
A sidetrack, Sofie-2A, was drilled to appraise the reservoir further to the northwest and showed that the oil deposit is more complicated than expected. The Sofie-2/2A well will be plugged and abandoned.
The companies in license 6/95 include: • DONG Efterforskning og Produktion A/S 50% • Paladin Oil Denmark Limited 30% • Denerco Oil A/S 20%
