Wintershall Dea re-entered Bergknapp exploration well 6406/3-10 in PL 836 S using the "Scarabeo 8" S/S in the first week of March 2020. The top-hole section (to the 13-3/8" casing point at 2,292 m) was drilled using the âWest Miraâ S/S between 8 November 2019 and 29 January 2020. The company had spent a lot of that time waiting on weather so had to temporarily suspend the well until another slot became available. Bergknapp had potential recoverable reserves of 30-60 MMboe in the Middle to Lower Jurassic Garn (at 4,032 m), Ile (at 4,084 m) and Tilje (at 4,281 m) formations and planned TD was 4,432 m. There were also plans for a potential sidetrack which would have had a TD of 4,557 m, targeting the Garn Formation at 4,139 m, the Ile Formation at 4,204 m and the Tilje Formation at 4,438 m. The well is located between the Kristin and Maria fields. By 6 April 2020 the rig had left location â results are expected shortly.  Bergknapp lies to the southwest of Smorbukk South which produces from the Garn, Ile and Tilje formations. Maria, to the east of Bergknapp, has a Garn Formation reservoir and came onstream in December 2017. It is operated by Wintershall Dea and could therefore provide a tie-back option in the event of a discovery at Bergknapp.  Wintershall Dea Norge AS operates PL 836 S with a 40% interest. It is partnered by DNO Norge AS (30%) and Spirit Energy Norway AS (30%).
