Aker BP spudded exploration well 24/9-13 on 16 June 2019 targeting the Rumpetroll prospect which is a sandstone injectite complex similar to the nearby Frosk oil discovery which was made in February 2018. The well was located in PL 869 and was drilled using the âDeepsea Nordkappâ S/S. Potential recoverable reserves for Rumpetroll are 45-148 MMboe. Aker BP reached TD at 2,305 m and on 17 July 2019 kicked-off an appraisal sidetrack (24/9-13 A), indicating that a discovery may have been made. On 29 July 2019 the well was plugged and abandoned, results are awaited.   Frosk, which lies to the north of Boyla, was discovered by 24/9-12 S. A 10 m oil column was proven in a 40 m thick Eocene Hordaland Group sandstone injectite with an OWC established. Higher up in the Hordaland Group there were three thin oil-bearing partially cemented sands totalling 5 m. The secondary Paleocene Hermod Formation objective was water-wet (there was 50 m of sandstone present). Sidetrack 24/9-12 A deviated 850 m to the southwest and confirmed a 30 m oil column in Hordaland injectites with no OWC. Four thin gas-bearing sands totalling 5 m were found higher up in the Hordaland Group. Aker BP has estimated recoverable reserves at 30-60 MMboe.  Interest in PL 869 is divided between Aker BP ASA (60% + operator), Lundin Norway AS (20%) and Var Energi AS (20%).
024/09-13 (Rumpetroll) (Aker BP 60% op, Lundin 20%, Var Energi 20%) in PL 869, P&A, announced as dry (as per Westwood) but no further results yet available, targeting Eocene sst. injectite complex, similar to the nearby Frosk oil discovery.
