Well 25/2-20 will be drilled from the Deepsea Stavanger drilling facility in position 59°52'27.05" N and 02°27'29.23" E after completing the drilling of wildcat well 15/6-16 S for Aker BP ASA in production licence 777.

The drilling programme for well 25/2-20 relates to the drilling of a wildcat well in production licence 442. Aker BP ASA is the operator with an ownership interest of 90.26%. The other licensee is LOTOS Exploration and Production Norge AS (9.74%).
