Aker BP spudded an exploration well on the Freke-Garm prospect in PL 814 on 18 May 2019. 15/6-15 was drilled using the âDeepsea Stavangerâ S/S. The prospect had pre-drill potential recoverable reserves of 16-81 MMboe and is located approximately 12 km northeast of Gina Krog and around 20 km southeast of Gudrun. The Hugin and Sleipner formations were the primary objectives (prognosed at 3,498 m TVD), with the well proving a 125 m Sleipner Formation with 40 m of sandstone. The secondary objective was the Skagerrak Formation (prognosed at 3,600 m TVD) which was proven to be 140 m thick but with just 15 m of poor quality sandstone present. TD was reached at 3,791 m in the Skagerrak Formation and on 5 June 2019 the well was being abandoned.  Freke was discovered by ExxonMobil with exploration well 15/6-10, spudded on 7 February 2009. The well encountered a 30 m gas condensate column in the Middle Jurassic but the reservoir was of poorer quality than expected. Freke lies on the Gudrun Terrace. It is a four-way dip closure of Middle Jurassic age delimited by a north-south trending horst. The main objective was the Hugin Formation, with further potential in the Sleipner Formation. Pre-drill reserves were estimated by Det norske (now Aker BP) at between 35 and 230 MMboe with light oil and a possible gas cap expected.     Interest in PL 814 is divided between Aker BP ASA (40% + operator), MOL Norge AS (30%) and OMV (Norge) AS (30%).
