Fossil Energy – Discovery

Equinor and its partners have discovered oil and gas in the Granat prospect near Gullfaks, 190 kilometres northwest of Bergen.

Wildcat wells 33/12-N-3 HH and 33/12-N-3 GH were drilled in connection with drilling an oil development well on the Gullfaks Satellites (33/12-N-3 IH) in production licence 152.

The discovery was made in 33/12-N-3 HH in production licence 277, which was awarded in 2002 (North Sea Awards 2001).

This is the first exploration well in this production licence.
