The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD) has granted Aker BP a drilling permit for three wells in the North Sea offshore Norway.
The wells 30/12-3 S, 30/12-3 A (sidetrack), and 30/12-3 B (potential sidetrack) are located in production licence 272 B, which is operated by Aker BP with Equinor as a partner.
The wells are targeting prospects: Surtsey, Jolnir (sidetrack), and Brandur (potential sidetrack).
Aker BP will use the Odfjell Drilling-managed Deepsea Stavanger rig for these operations. The water depth at the site is 106 metres.
Drilling is planned to start in November, with a duration of 93 days upon discovery.
