In its first high pressure, high temperature well drilled on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, OMV (Norge) AS has completed discoveries in the Hades and Iris intervals in its 6506/11-10 well in PL 644 B.

The well is close to Morvin and Asgard fields, 244 km northwest of Kristiansund in 342 m of water.

OMV discovered gas and condensate in the primary Hades target and secondary Iris prospect. Preliminary results based on data gathered from both reservoir intervals indicates discovery sizes of 20-115 million boe for Hades and 20-130 million boe for Iris.

The 6506/11-10 well is OMV’s first in PL 644 B. It was drilled by Odfjell Drilling’s Deepsea Bergen semisubmersible drilling rig. OMV is operator with 30% interest. Partners are Statoil Petroleum AS 30%, Faroe Petroleum Norge AS 20%, and Spirit Energy Norge AS 20%.

The license was awarded in the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate’s Awards in Predefined Areas 2015 (OGJ Online, Jan. 19, 2016).
