Lundin used the âLeiv Eirikssonâ S/S to spud exploration well 16/1-31 S targeting the Jorvik prospect (Triassic conglomerate) in PL 338 on 10 March 2019. The company drilled to TD at 2,220 m (2,123 m TVDSS) in the Triassic. On 11 May 2019 exploration sidetrack 16/1-31 A was kicked-off targeting the Tellus East prospect (weathered and fractured Basement with a potential sandstone drape) and this well reached TD at 2,650 m (1,977 m TVDSS) in Basement. It was abandoned on 22 June 2019. As it was not possible to target both prospects with a single well, the two wells were drilled in a Y formation. The top hole is located approximately 4 km northwest of the Edvard Grieg platform, between the Edvard Grieg and Ragnarrock fields. The Jorvik well confirmed a 29 m oil column in the Triassic conglomerate and an overlying thin (1 m) sandstone. The OWC was not identified. The well tested at 130 bo/d through a 26/64â choke and indicated communication with the Edvard Grieg field.Â If a horizontal well were to be drilled through this reservoir Lundin would expect that it would flow at commercial rates. Recoverable reserves are estimated at 3-22 MMbo plus up to 12 Bcfg. The Tellus East well encountered a 62 m gross oil column in porous, weathered Basement likened to the producing reservoir in the Tellus area of the Edvard Grieg field. The OWC was estimated to be between 1,910 m and 1,912 m TVDSS. Estimated recoverable reserves are 1-13 MMbo plus up to 7 Bcfg. Following drilling, the wells were reclassified as appraisals and will be considered for development using wells drilled from the Edvard Grieg platform. Â     In 2013 Lundin drilled the first well on the Jorvik prospect which lies immediately east of Edvard Grieg and is a continuation of the same play onto the Haugaland High. 16/1-17 proved mobile oil, but the reservoir (pre-Jurassic conglomerate and pebbly sandstone) was tight with haematite cementation. Potential reserves were estimated at 46 MMboe (in PL 338) prior to drilling.    Tellus was drilled in early 2011, just to the north of Edvard Grieg. 16/1-15 made a new discovery in the Lower Cretaceous/Basement with potential reserves (given at the time) of 11-55 MMboe. The field was developed as part of Edvard Grieg and the reserves are now included in the overall field volumes.  The completion of drilling of the 14 development wells at Lundinâs Edvard Grieg field was achieved in July 2018. The results exceeded pre-drill expectations and there is no material water production. Earlier in 2018 Lundin announced a reserves increase of 51 MMboe (since the end of 2016) to 274 MMboe, representing a 47% increase compared with the PDO. Good drilling results and production performance indicated that the oil in place volumes were higher than originally calculated and that more of the oil is in the better quality sandstone part of the reservoir (with less in the poorer quality conglomerate zone). The field was producing at a facilities-capacity rate of 95,000 boe/d in July 2018 but double this rate is actually possible. The nearby Lundin-operated Solveig (Luno II) and Rolvsnes discoveries will be tied-back to Edvard Grieg and the 2018 discovery made by Equinor at Lille Prinsen could also potentially be tied-in.    Lundin Norway AS operates PL 338 with a 65% interest. It is partnered by OMV (Norge) AS (20%) and Wintershall Dea through Wintershall Norge AS (15%).
