Aker BP and its partner Concedo have drilled a dry well near the Bøyla field in the North Sea.
The well, 24/12-8 S or ‘Rumpetroll South’, is a follow-up to the discovery made in well 24/9-13 – ‘Rumpetroll’, in 2019.
Both wells are located in production license 869, where Aker BP is the operator with 80% working interest, and Concedo as partner with remaining 20%.
This production licence was awarded through awards in pre-defined areas (APA) 2016.
The well, which is the sixth in this production licence, was drilled by Odfjell Drilling’s Deepsea Nordkapp semi-submersible rig.
The objective of the well was to prove petroleum in Eocene reservoir rocks in the Balder Formation.
The well encountered the Balder Formation in a total of about 97 meters, 4 metres of which was sandstone with very good reservoir quality. A small quantity of non-producible gas was proven at the top of the reservoir, but the well is classified as dry.
The well has been permanently plugged and abandoned.
