    In 1989 Fina and partners drilled the 21/27-2 well once again using the Glomar Arctic III rig. This well discovered Pilot and tested a 6-ft interval at the top of the reservoir at 80-115 bbl/day of 17ºAPI oil.

    LONDON – Britain’s North Sea Transition Authority has approved a one-year extension to the Orcadian Energy-operated P2244 license in the UK central North Sea, containing the79-MMbbl Pilot Field.
