Equinor spudded exploration well 6507/2-5 S targeting the Orn prospect in PL 942 on 23 July 2019. The wellâs objective was the Middle Jurassic Fangst Group and condensate of the Alve type was the expected hydrocarbon. The âWest Phoenixâ S/S is being used and operations are expected to last around 53 days. Partner Aker BP reports prospective resources of 8-40 MMboe. In the event of a discovery, development via a tie-back to the Skarv FPSO would be the most likely option (Skarv lies approximately 20 km to the southeast). On 11 September 2019 Equinor was plugging and abandoning the well having reached a TD of 4,230 m (4,186 m TVD).   This is the second Equinor well in the area in 2019. The company earlier drilled the Snadd Outer Outer well in neighbouring block 6507/3 and made a new discovery (see separate article for details).  PL 942 is operated by Equinor Energy AS (40%) with Aker BP ASA (30%) and Wellesley Petroleum AS (30%) as partners.
6507/02-05 S (Orn) (Equinor 40% op, Aker BP 30%, Wellesley Petr. 30%) in PL 942 block, P&A, results awaited. The wellâs objective was the Middle Jurassic Fangst Group and condensate of the Alve type was the expected hydrocarbon.
