Fossil Energy – Discovery
Harbour Energy and its partners have proven gas condensate in the Camilla Nord prospect.
Wildcat wells 35/8-8 S and A were drilled in production licences 248 LS and 248 B, which are part of the Vega Unit in the North Sea, 100 kilometres southwest of Florø.
Preliminary estimates indicate the size of the discovery is between 0.4 and 0.8 million standard cubic metres (Sm3) of recoverable oil equivalent. This corresponds to between 2.2 and 4.7 million barrels of oil equivalent.
35/8-8 S and A are the first and second exploration wells drilled in production licences 248 LS and 248 B. Production licence 248 B was awarded in 2006 (APA 2005), while 248 LS was awarded in 2025 (APA 2024) as additional acreage for production licence 248 B.
The licensees will consider tying the discovery back to existing infrastructure on the Vega field.
The wells were drilled by the Transocean Norge rig.
