On 13 August 2018, using the âScarabeo 8â S/S, Total spudded an exploration well in PL 255 B located to the south of Kristin and Tyrihans. 6406/6-5 S targeted the Jasper prospect but was junked just two days after spud (TD â 381 m). On 16 August 2018 the well was re-spudded as 6406/6-6 S. Jasper had primary objectives in the Middle Jurassic Garn (top expected around 4,468 m) and Ile (top expected around 4,595 m) formations and sandstone was also prognosed in the Lower Jurassic Tofte Formation (4,788 m). The well was drilled to TD at 4,911 m and on 27 November 2018 Total kicked-off a geological sidetrack â 6406/6-6 A. This sidetrack is designated an appraisal well therefore implying that 6406/6-6 S has made a discovery (assumed gas). The well was abandoned on 5 January 2019 after reaching TD at 4,869 m and results are expected shortly.  PL 255 B contains the 2002 gas discovery made by Shell with 6406/5-1 and it lies immediately adjacent to the Tvillingen South gas condensate discovery made by Maersk in 2015.   6406/5-1 proved a 41 m hydrocarbon column in the Middle Jurassic Garn Formation. Reservoir pressure was high at 777 bar. The discovery is believed to be non-commercial.  The Tvillingen South discovery well was 6406/6-4 S. It encountered a 25 m gas column in a 102 m section of good quality Garn Formation sandstone and estimated recoverable reserves given at the time were 9â19 MMboe.  Interest in PL 255 B is held by Total E&P Norge AS (40% + operator), Petoro AS (30%) and Equinor Energy AS (30%).
