Chrysaor begins drilling in southern North Sea

Chrysaor Norge AS has started drilling the Jerv 15/12-25 exploration well in production licence (PL) 973, close to the UK border in the southern North Sea, directly south of Grevling and Storskrymten discoveries.

An early drill decision was taken in PL973 to accelerate identification of additional resources in the area to support these ongoing field development plans.

The COSL Innovator rig will drill the well as the first well of a two-well programme including Ilder well 15/12-26. A contingent side-track and well testing may be performed to evaluate any discovery.

Chrysaor is operator of PL973 (50%) with partners OKEA (30%) and Petoro AS (20%).
