The semisubmersibleIsland Innovator is drilling well 16/1-27 in license PL338, 3 km (1.86 mi) west of the Edvard Grieg platform in the North Sea, targeting resources of up to 30 MMboe.
Drilling should take around 30 days to complete.
In PL492 in theBarents Sea, the semisub Leiv Eiriksson is drilling well 7120/1-5, 4 km (2.5 mi) north of the Gohta discovery well 7120/1-3.
