Revus Energy ASA (OSE:REVUS) confirms well 21/8-4 as an oil & gas discovery. The well, which spudded on 20th June 2008, was drilled directionally to test the eastern part of the Torphins prospect in the central UK North Sea sector and penetrated a Paleocene reservoir sandstone section with a gross logged oil & gas column in the region of 9 meters. Based on this result, the drilling programme will proceed with a further directional well from the same surface location to test the western part of the prospect.
The Torphins prospect is located in licence P. 1107 which is operated by Lundin Petroleum AB. The well is being drilled by the Transocean semi submersible GSF Arctic II and partners are Lundin (operator and 40%), Challenger Minerals (North Sea) Limited (10%) and Revus Energy (E&P) Limited (50%).
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.
