The area in this licence consists of part of block 16/4. The well will be drilled southwest of the 16/4-6 S oil discovery (Luno II) in the central part of the North Sea.
Production licence 544 was awarded on 19 February 2010 (APA 2009). This is the second exploration well to be drilled within the licence area. The permit is contingent upon the operator securing all other permits and consents required by other authorities prior to commencing drilling activities.
