Equinor, using the âDeepsea Bergenâ S/S, spudded well 35/11-22 S in PL 248 C targeting the Bergand prospect on 12 December 2018. The well had objectives in the Middle Jurassic Tarbert, Ness, Etive, Rannoch and Oseberg formations and the Lower Jurassic Cook and Statfjord formations. On 20 January 2019 Equinor kicked off a technical sidetrack - 35/11-22 ST2. The well was drilled to TD at 3,882 m and on 2 February 2019 the well was abandoned. Results are expected shortly.     PL 248 C is located to the west of Equinorâs Fram field where the operator recently (25 May 2018) reported additional investment to drill new wells, resulting in an extra 70 MMboe of recoverable reserves (almost doubling the total remaining reserves). New seismic acquired in the Fram area is being worked up for new exploration opportunities and QA of existing prospects.    The Fram field system consists of Fram West, Fram East, Fram H-North and Byrding. West and East each have two four-slot templates tied-back to Troll C. H- North has a further template daisy-chained to Fram West and the Byrding field also uses these facilities. The reservoirs are the Upper Jurassic Draupne, Heather and Sognefjord sandstones and the Middle Jurassic Brent Group.    Interest in PL 248 C is divided between Equinor Energy AS (30% + operator), Petoro AS (40%) and Wellesley Petroleum AS (30%).
035/11-22 S (Bergand) (Equinor 30% + Op, Wellesley Petrol. 30%, Petoro 40%) in PL 248 C block - P&A, awaiting results.
