Fossil Energy – Drilling
Neptune Energy announced today drilling has commenced on the Calypso exploration well in the Norwegian Sea.
The exploration well, 6407/8-8 S, is being drilled by the Deepsea Yantai, a semi-submersible rig, owned by CIMC and operated by Odfjell Drilling. The Calypso prospect is located 14 kilometres north-west of the Draugen field and 22 kilometres north-east of the Njord A platform, within the Neptune-operated PL938 Licence.
Calypso is positioned within one of Neptune’s core areas on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. In the event of a commercial discovery, Calypso could potentially be tied back to existing infrastructure.
The reservoir target is the middle and lower Jurassic formations and is expected to be reached at a depth of approximately 2,960 metres.
The drilling program comprises a main-bore (6407/8-8 S) with an optional side-track (6407/8-8 A) based on the outcome of the exploration well.
