Wintershall spudded a well on the Marisko prospect in PL 847 on 4 December 2018 using the âTransocean Spitsbergenâ S/S. 6706/6-2 S lies on the Naglfar Dome, approximately 65 km north of Aasta Hansteen and immediately north of the 2003 gas discovery made by 6706/6-1. 6706/6-2 S has an Upper Cretaceous Nise Formation target and a planned TD of 4,235 m (4,030 m TVD). In the event that a discovery is made and the well is tested, a 7â liner would be run to an extended TD of 4,580 m (4,330 m TVD). There is also potential for a sidetrack (6706/6-2 A) which would have a TD of 4,060 m (4,030 m TVD). Operations are expected to last between 61 (dry hole) and 93 (including a sidetrack and two tests) days. The well was drilled to TD at 3,916 m and on 12 February 2019 it was being abandoned.  6706/6-1 targeted the Nise Formation Hvitveis prospect and was drilled by Esso in PL 264. It reached a TD of 3,451 m in the Paleocene and proved gas in an unnamed Paleocene reservoir. The NPD puts estimated recoverable reserves at 265 Bcfg (December 2016). At that time it was considered non-commercial due to the lack of any infrastructure in the area. However, production from Aasta Hansteen will start up in the second half of 2018 with gas exported through the new Polarled pipeline to Nyhamna. Additional gas volumes proven by the Marisko well could therefore potentially be developed in the future using the Aasta Hansteen facilities.  PL 847 is operated by Wintershall Norge AS (40%). Wintershall is partnered by OMV (Norge) AS (20%), Repsol Norge AS (20%), Dyas Norge AS (10%) and Equinor Energy AS (10%).
