Norwegian oil company Statoil has made an oil and gas discovery at the Njord North Flank in the Norwegian Sea. Neither well was drill stem tested but extensive data acquisition and sampling has been performed on both wells. Based on the data acquired, a preliminary estimate of the size of the NF-2 discovery is between 1.3 and 18.9 mmboe for NF-2 and between 0.6 and 9.4 mmboe for side-track NF-3. Collectively these discoveries are equivalent to a range of 1.9mmboe to 28.3mmboe. These results are in line with pre-drill estimates. The well has now been plugged and abandoned as planned and the partners will start work on assessing the commercial potential of the discovery.
