Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Equinor, based in Stavanger, completed Fram Field exploration well #35/11-23 Echino South in the North Sea. Recoverable resources are estimated at 38-100 MMbbl of oil equivalent. It was drilled to 2.947 m, and area water depth is 350 m. The well is about 3 km southwest of the field, and the primary exploration target was to prove petroleum in the Upper Jurassic reservoir in Sognefjord. The secondary exploration target in the well was to prove petroleum rocks of the Middle Jurassic period (Brent group). Hydrocarbons were proven in both exploration targets. A sidetrack (#35/11-23 A) is being drilled to delineate the discovery in Sognefjord. The discovery will be tied back to existing infrastructure. Partners in the prospect are ExxonMobil Corp. and Neptune Energy.
