EquinorÂ used the âTransocean Spitsbergenâ S/S to drill exploration wellÂ 16/5-7Â on theÂ KlaffÂ prospect which spudded 12 June 2019 (delayed from 2018). The well is located inÂ PL 502, immediately southwest of Johan Sverdrup. It had objectives in the Jurassic, Triassic and Permian.Â Partner Aker BP reports prospective, pre-drill, resources of 50-372 MMboe. 16/5-7 was drilled to TD at 2,028 m and on 12 July 2019 it was abandoned. Results will be issued shortly.     The first phase of Johan Sverdrup is due onstream in November 2019. Development will concentrate on the Field Centre (in the north-west area of the field, PL 265) and will consist of four bridge-linked fixed platforms (WHP plus drilling, processing, riser/utility and accommodation) plus three subsea water injection templates. A total of 35 wells are planned for Phase I. The PDO for Phase II was submitted in August 2018 with a planned onstream date of Q4 2022. Phase II will include a new processing platform added to the Field Centre facilities, increasing processing capacity to 660,000 boe/d. There will be five subsea templates hosting 28 new wells and the establishment of the power-from-shore solution for the whole Utsira High area by 2022. In August 2018 recoverable reserves for Johan Sverdrup were increased to 2.2 - 3.2 Bboe.    Equinor Energy AS operates PL 502 with a 44.44% interest. Petoro AS holds 33.33% and Aker BP ASA holds the remaining 22.22%.
