Chrysaor Norge AS started drilling the Jerv 15/12-25 exploration well in production license (PL) 973, close to the UK border in the southern North Sea, directly south of Grevling and Storskrymten discoveries. An early drill decision was taken to accelerate identification of additional resources in the area to support ongoing field development plans.
The COSL Innovator will drill the well—the first of a two-well program including Ilder 15/12-26. A contingent sidetrack and well testing may be performed to evaluate any discovery.
Chrysaor is operator of PL973 (50%) with partners OKEA (30%) and Petoro AS (20%).
