On 6 August 2019 Equinor used the âWest Herculesâ S/S to spud exploration well 6407/3-2 S on the Lanterna prospect in PL 796 B. Lanterna is located northeast of Mikkel and east of Flyndretind on the Trondelag Platform. The main objective was the Lower to Middle Jurassic, with a secondary target in the Upper Triassic. TD was planned at 3,093 m (3,003 m TVD) but was actually reached at just 2,628 m (2,589 m TVD). As of 5 September the well had been abandoned and the rig had left location.   Development studies are underway for Mikkel South and Flyndretind, with the project passing concept evaluation in early 2019. Mikkel South consists of the Gamma (6407/6-6) and Harepus (6407/6-7 S) discoveries. The Gamma well encountered rich gas in the Middle Jurassic Fangst Group (Garn and Ile formations), with recoverable reserves estimated at 24 MMboe (NPD, 31 December 2018). At Harepus, gas condensate was present in the Upper Jurassic Rogn Formation and the Middle Jurassic Garn Formation and at the time of discovery volumes were estimated to be in the region of 18-35 Bcfg. Flyndretind well 6407/2-6 S proved oil (15 m) and gas (72 m) in the Lower Jurassic Tilje Formation, with weak oil shows and high gas readings observed in the Lower Jurassic Tofte Formation. Recoverable reserves are estimated to be 14 MMboe (NPD, 31 December 2018).  Equinor Energy AS operates PL 796 B with a 60% interest. It is partnered by Edison Norge AS (20%) and Var Energi AS (20%).
