Wintershall Dea and its partners, Petoro, Aker BP, and PGNIG, have successfully completed an appraisal well on the Adriana gas and condensate discovery in the Norwegian Sea. They are now evaluating potential development options.
The appraisal well, drilled with the Transocean Norge rig, encountered high-quality reservoirs in the primary target within the Cretaceous Lysing Formation. Following the completion of the well, the estimated recoverable volumes for the Adriana discovery have been revised upwards, from an initial 19-31 million boe to a new estimate of 28-43 million boe.
“Our exploration strategy, as a subsea specialist, focuses on investing in areas close to existing infrastructure, where we already have a sound understanding of the geology and potential development options. This improves the possibility of fast-tracking discoveries into new subsea developments. The promising results from the Adriana appraisal well put us in a strong position to consider potential development strategies for this discovery”, said Roy Davies, VP Exploration & Subsurface for Wintershall Dea Norway.
