Fossil Energy – Gas Discovery
Harbour Energy and its partners have confirmed a gas discovery in well 15/9-25 in the North Sea.
This gas discovery has previously been proven in two other exploration wells.
The gas was first proven in wells 16/7-2 and 16/7-10, drilled in 1982 and 2011, respectively.
15/9-25 is the first well in production licence 1138, which was awarded in Awards in Pre-defined Areas (APA) in 2021.
The overall gas volume is calculated at between one and three million standard cubic metres (Sm3) of recoverable oil equivalent (o.e.).
The well was drilled using the Noble Integrator rig northeast of the Sleipner area, about 210 kilometres west of Stavanger.
