The Alta discovery is located 10-20km northeast of Lundin Petroleum's Gohta discovery and approximately 160km from the Norwegian coastline. Well 7220/11-2 is located 6.5km southwest of the Alta discovery well 7220/11-1 that was completed in October 2014.
The main objective of well 7220/11-2 is to confirm the reservoir model and prove the presence of hydrocarbon columns and fluid contacts similar to those established in the Alta discovery well.
The planned total depth is 2020m below mean sea level and the well is being drilled using the drilling rig Island Innovator. Drilling is expected to take approximately 60 days.
Lundin Norway holds 40% working interest in PL609. Partners are DEA Norge and Idemitsu Petroleum Norge with 30% working interest each.
