Neptune Energy begins drilling Ofelia appraisal well

Tuesday, October 3 2023

Fossil Energy – Drilling

Neptune Energy today announced drilling has commenced on the Ofelia appraisal well in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea.

The Ofelia discovery (PL 929) was made in August 2022 and is located approximately 14 kilometres north of the Neptune-operated Gjøa field.

Preliminary estimates of recoverable volume are in the range of 2.5-6.2 million standard cubic metres (MSm3) or 16-39 million barrels of oil equivalents (mmboe). The new well aims to appraise and fully evaluate the hydrocarbon discovery in the Ofelia Agat formation.

A secondary target is to evaluate an upside of gas charged reservoir in the shallower Kyrre Formation.

The main reservoir target is the Lower Cretaceous Agat Formation and is expected to be reached at a depth of approximately 2,530 metres.

The well, 35/6-4 S, is being drilled by the Deepsea Yantai, a semi-submersible rig, owned by CIMC and operated by Odfjell Drilling.
