MOL used the âDeepsea Bergenâ S/S to drill an exploration well on its Evra and Iving prospects in PL 820 S located between the Jette and Ringhorne fields. 25/8-19 S was spudded on 2 November 2019 and was drilled to TD at 2,760 m. Pre-drill potential recoverable reserves are 181 MMboe (source: Lundin, October 2019). Evra is an injectite prospect, with remobilised Paleocene Hermod Sandstones expected in the Eocene Hordaland Group. Two sand bodies were expected â one at 1,783 m and the other at 2,023 m. The main objective for the Iving prospect (four-way closure at the BCU) was the Lower Jurassic Statfjord Formation at 2,207 m. There were also further targets in the Paleocene Ty Formation, the Triassic Skagerrak Formation and the Basement. The drilling plan called for a sidetrack (targeting Evra only with a planned TD of 2,104 m / 2,000 m TVD) if the well made a discovery at Evra and on 31 December 2019 MOL kicked off 25/8-19 A which is designated as an appraisal, indicating that a discovery has, indeed, been made. Operations are continuing on 3 March 2020.  PL 820 S contains the 2001 dry hole 25/8-13 which was drilled by Esso. Good reservoir sands were present in both the Ty Formation and the Statfjord Formation, although both were water-bearing.  MOL Norge AS operates PL 820 S with a 40% interest. It is partnered by Lundin Norway AS (40%), Pandion Energy AS (10%) and Wintershall Dea Norge AS (10%).
