Faroe Petroleum has started drilling on the Brasse exploration well in the Norwegian North Sea.
The well, 31/7-1, is immediately south of the producing Brage oil field (Faroe 14.3%) and, if successful, could be tied-back to the Brage facilities or alternatively to other nearby installations.
The well will target the Jurassic aged sandstones in a four-way dip-closed structure with a total vertical depth of approximately 2750m in the Early Jurassic Statfjord Formation.
The water depth at the site is 118m and the well will be drilled using the semisubmersible Transocean Arctic drilling rig. The co-venturer in the PL740 license is Core Energy (50%).
