The find was reported by Finansavisen, but Eni Norge has refused to comment on the find, until further tests have been made. Eni has earlier this year made a gas find at Marulk on Haltenbanken off the coast of Nordland County, said to contain 12-19 billion cubic meters of gas.
Another oil discovery has been made by StatoilHydro due south-west of the Grane field in the North Sea, estimated to contain 20–30 million recoverable barrels of oil. The find is a continuation of the good start to exploration activities on the Norwegian continental shelf in 2008,” says Tim Dodson, director of exploration in Exploration and production Norway. “This find is the fourth discover we have been involved in so far this year,” he says. The discovery at Grane was made in connection with the production license PL169 for which StatoilHydro is operator, and is named M prospect. Exploration well 25/11-25 S was drilled down to reservoir rock types of Paleogenic age, and drilling has been concluded. (NRK, Norway)
