Wellbore 25/10-10 will be drilled from the Aker Barents drilling facility at position 59º 11’ 05.5” North and 02º 17’ 50.7” East after the rig has been at the Ølen shipyard in Rogaland County.
The drilling program for wellbore 25/10-10 relates to the drilling of a wildcat well in production licence 028 S. ExxonMobil is the operator with a 100 per cent ownership interest, while Det norske oljeselskap ASA is carrying out the drilling activity on behalf of ExxonMobil, in return for the opportunity to buy in to the production licence. The area in this production licence consists of the eastern part of block 25/10. Well 25/10-10 is located just west of the Balder field in the central part of the North Sea.
Production licence 028 S was carved out of the original PL 028, which was awarded on 23 May 1969 in the 2nd licensing round. This is the first well drilled in the production licence.
The drilling permit is granted on the condition that all other permits and consents required by other authorities have been secured before the drilling activity commences.
