DNO has taken Shellâs 30% interest in PL 827 S under a deal reported by the NPD on 8 December 2018. The transfer is effective from 30 November 2018. PL 827 S is located to the northwest of Wintershallâs 2015 Syrah discovery, and covers an area of 52 sq km over part of block 35/10.   Syrah exploration well 35/11-18 found a 275 m thick Middle Jurassic Brent Group section with light oil columns in the Tarbert Formaton (11 m) and the Oseberg Formation (3 m â the Oseberg Formation is the basal part of the Brent Group in this area of Norway). There was also an 8 m hydrocarbon column in the Upper Jurassic Heather Formation. The well was then sidetracked 450 m to the south (35/11-18 A) and proved gas and oil in two Heather Formation sandstones (33 m and 24 m thick), oil throughout the Brent Group (270 m thick) and a 46 m light oil column in the Cook Formation. The Cook and Oseberg formations were tested and exhibited good flow properties and recoverable reserves were estimated at 6-19 MMbo.  PL 827 S is operated by Equinor Energy AS (70%) partnered by DNO Norge AS (30%).
