DNO spudded exploration well 6507/7-16 S on the Canela prospect in PL 888 using the âIsland Innovatorâ S/S on 28 October 2019. Canela lies approximately 5 km west of Heidrun and south of Dvalin and had objectives in the Middle Jurassic Fangst Group (the same reservoir as Heidrun) in down-faulted blocks. The well was drilled to TD at 3,238 m (3,184 m TVDSS) in the Lower Jurassic Tilje Formation. A 52 m gas column was present in the Garn, Not and Ile formations with 48 m of good sandstone and there was a 4 m oil column in the Ile Formation. In the underlying Ile, Ror and Tilje formations there was a net total of 75 m of water-bearing sandstones. Recoverable reserves are estimated at 6-13 MMboe. On 19 December 2019 the well was abandoned.  The Dvalin field, operated by Wintershall Dea, is under development with a planned onstream date of Q4 2020. A four-slot subsea template will be tied-back to the Heidrun platform where a new process module will be installed. Gas will be partially processed by this module before export through the Polarled pipeline to the onshore Nyhamna terminal. Wintershall Dea is intending to produce over 18 Bcm (630 Bcf) of gas with the total cost for development estimated at NOK 10 billion (USD 1.18 billion).  Interest in PL 888 is divided between DNO through Faroe Petroleum Norge AS (40% + operator), ConocoPhillips Skandinavia AS (30%) and Wellesley Petroleum AS (30%).
