BG Norge AS discovers oil field in the North Sea

28 December 2011: BG Norge AS, operator of production licence 373 S, is in the process of completing the drilling of wildcat well 34/3-3 S and appraisal well 34/3-3 A. The wells are located west of the Knarr field (formerly called Jordbær) in the northern part of the North Sea. Both wells proved oil in Early Jurassic sandstones. 

The objective of the 34/3-3A sidetrack was to delineate the 34/3-3 S discovery by confirming the extent of reservoir rocks and also proving oil in the lower part of the Cook formation. The well proved oil both in the upper and lower Cook formation with very good reservoir quality. Extensive data acquisition programmes have been carried out in both wells. Well 34/3-3 S was also production-tested with a maximum rate of 1200 standard cubic metres of oil per flow day through a 12.7 millimetre nozzle opening.
