"Graham Stewart, Chief Executive of Faroe Petroleum commented:"I am pleased to announce the spudding of the Faroe-operated Rungne exploration well, a near field exploration target which provides us with significant upside potential in one of our core areas.
The well is in close proximity to the Faroe-operated Brasse field and existing infrastructure, including the producing Equinor-operated Oseberg oil field.
This is a very active exploration period for Faroe. We have six exploration wells and one appraisal well committed to drill over the coming 12 months, and many more wells lining up for drilling thereafter. The first of these, the Agar/Plantain exploration well in the UK, is currently being drilled, and this will be followed by the Faroe-operated Brasse East well, to be drilled back to back with the Rungne well."These exploration wells are targeting a significant unrisked resource potential net to Faroe of 80-150 mmboe. In addition, the appraisal well on the large Iris-Hades discovery, scheduled for H1 2019, has the potential to prove up very significant resources for the Company."
-- GREAT NEWS --
Note that the "new" partnership for the PL825 drill consists of: Faroe (40% and operator), Equinor Energy AS (30%*), Spirit Energy Norge AS (20%*) and DNO Norge AS (10%*).
DNO being the "stalking horse" ... I wonder how long it will be content for crumbs ... when it can have the whole enchilada?
