The drilling programme for well 6506/11-12 S relates to the drilling of an appraisal well in production licence 644. OMV Norge AS is the operator with an ownership interest of 30%. The other licensees are Equinor (40%), DNO (20%) and Spirit Energy (10%).

The area in this licence consists of parts of blocks 6506/8, 6506/10 and 6506/11. The well will be drilled about 4 kilometres west of the Morvin field.

Production licence 644 was awarded on 3 February 2012 (APA 2011). This is the second exploration well to be drilled in the licence.
