Field Development
The Acheron 2D Non-Exclusive seismic survey is operated by Searcher Seismic in conjunction with its project partner Seabird Exploration. The project acquired approximately 2,700 km of 2D seismic data over an unexplored Cretaceous - Jurassic Rift basin lying immediately to the west of the Bernier Ridge.
The acquisition entailed the recording of circa 2,700 km of 2D data and Seabird Exploration's vessel - M/V Aquila Explorer - where onboard processing was conducted during the shoot in order to achieve the optimal shooting pattern.
PA Resources AB has signed an agreement with the shareholders to acquire the entire share capital of the British oil exploration company Scotsdale Ltd. The company is focusing on low risk exploration in North West Europe. The acquisition means that PA Resources increases its presence in the North Sea with licenses in the United Kingdom and Denmark, and potentially also in the Netherlands.
Aker Exploration has entered into agreements with the international oil company Eni Norge to acquire ownership interests in two licenses in the vicinity of the Åsgard field. The agreements further strengthen Aker Exploration’s position in the Norwegian Sea.
SCAN Geophysical ASA (SCAN) today announced that the company is
remobilising its seismic vessel, M/V Geo Searcher, to re-commence a previously-suspended
2D project offshore Pakistan for BP.
The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD) has granted ENI Norge AS a drilling permit for wellbore 34/12-1 in the North Sea.
Eni has successfully drilled the last appraisal well, encountered approximately 127 metres (419 ft) of net pay in multiple sands. The initial analysis indicates good reservoir quality.
