Field Development
Eni has made a gas and condensate discovery in the Central North Sea, offshore from the United Kingdom. The 30/6-7 exploration well has confirmed hydrocarbons in a location 1.8 miles (3 km) north east of the Jasmine discovery well 30/6-6. The Jasmine field is at a water depth of around 266 feet (81 m), encompassing parts of blocks 30/6 and 30/7a.
The well is part of a joint venture between Eni UK, who holds 33 percent, operator ConocoPhillips with 36.5 percent and BG International with 30.5 percent. It was drilled by ENSCO jackup ENSCO 102. A flow test will be carried out, along with appraisal drilling to evaluate the discovery. Preliminary plans are to develop the discovery along with the Jasmine field and tie it back in to the Judy production facility, of which Eni's share is 33 percent. The Judy facility is 5.6 miles (9 km) east of the new discovery.
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.
