Aker BP spudded appraisal well 2/11-12 S on 10 January 2019 at Hod in PL 033 using the âMaersk Interceptorâ J/U. The well was drilled at Hod West and results from the well will be key for the progression of the fieldâs re-development studies. The Hod group passed DG1 for the re-development in December 2017 and believes that a further 70 MMboe can be produced using an unmanned platform linked to Valhall Field Centre. The platform would have 12 slots, with six new wells planned (to be drilled from 2022-2023). The well was drilled to TD at 2,955 m and on 13 February 2019 Aker BP kicked off exploration sidetrack 2/11-12 A targeting the Hod Deep West prospect with prospective recoverable reserves of 2-22 MMboe. On 20 February 2019 Aker BP was at 3,200 m drilling the 8-1/2â hole.    Production from Hod started in September 1990 from the fieldâs chalk reservoir in the Upper Cretaceous Hod and Tor formations and Lower Paleocene Ekofisk Formation at around 2,700 m using an unmanned wellhead platform. The field consists of the Hod East, Hod Saddle (which connects to Valhall) and Hod West structures. There has been no production from the Hod platform since 2013 and the facility is awaiting decommissioning and disposal. Production continues from the Hod Saddle area and is carried out using four wells drilled from Valhall. Initial recoverable reserves were 80 MMboe and around 5 MMboe of this was remaining as of December 2017. In place reserves are approximately 450 MMboe.    Hod is covered by PL 033 where interest is held by Aker BP ASA (90% + operator) and Pandion Energy AS (10%).
