The Danish Underground Consortium (DUC) has reached a final investment decision (FID) to drill a new well in the Harald East area near the Norwegian border and gas will be exported through the Thira East facility.
DUC, a joint venture involving TotalEnergies (43.2%), BlueNord (36.8%) and Nordsøfonden (20%), has conducted an FID on the Harald East Central Jurassic Well (HEMJ), which is scheduled to be developed in summer 2024. Ta. .
If the drilling campaign is successful, the well could begin production by the end of 2024.
The expected gain from this well is ~8 mmboe net to BlueNord, approximately 80% of which is gas. The well was drilled in the Jurassic period and has good storage properties, but extensive subsurface results in terms of volume.
The well will cost BlueNord approximately $28 million net and has an attractive development unit cost.
According to DUC, Haral’s connection concept and potential life extension will be determined after the well is drilled.
“We are pleased to announce a new FID in the DUC drilling sequence. The Harald East Middle Jurassic well will be drilled through a chalk reservoir and into a Jurassic reservoir with excellent storage properties.
“We look forward to seeing the results and adding production through our new Tyra facility by the end of the year,” said BlueNord Chief Operating Officer Marianne Eide.
