Offshore staffOSLO, 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). 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.
