The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD) has granted Aker BP a drilling permit for wildcat and appraisal wells 7/11-14 S and A in production licence PL 906.
Wells 7/11-14 S and A will be drilled from the Mærsk Integrator drilling facility in position 57°06'12.674"N and 2°37'41.559"E.
Aker BP is the operator with an ownership interest of 60 per cent. The other licensees are Longboat Energy Norge (20 per cent) and DNO Norge (20 per cent).
The area in this licence consists of parts of Blocks 7/11 and 7/12. The wells will be drilled about 13 kms west of the Ula field.
Production licence 906 was awarded on 2 March 2018 (APA 2017). These are the first and second exploration wells to be drilled in the licence.
The permit is contingent on the operator securing all other permits and consents required by other authorities prior to commencing the drilling activity.
