Exciting news from the Norwegian Sea! 🚀 The Norwegian Offshore Directorate has granted Aker BP ASA drilling permits for two new wells: 6306/6-3 S and 6507/5-13 S. 🎉
Aker BP ASA is leading the charge on the first license with partners ConocoPhillips and Petoro, while the second license includes a collaboration with Equinor, Wintershall Dea Norge (now Harbour Energy), and @ORLEN Upstream Norway. 🤝
The drilling for the first well is set to start in January 2025, followed by the second well in February 2025, both using the advanced hashtag#Scarabeo 8 rig from Saipem. ⛏️ This incredible rig can drill as deep as 35,000 feet and can accommodate 140 people!
Aker BP ASA recently extended Scarabeo 8's stay in Norway until the end of 2026, ensuring continued exploration in this promising region. 🛠️
Although the last well in the North Sea didn't yield hydrocarbons, Aker BP ASA made a significant gas discovery in the Norwegian Sea this October. They're now considering a subsea tie-back to existing infrastructure for development. 💡
