The state-owned operator has now gained safety consent to drill a wildcat using the veteran rig targeting more resources on the margins of its Njord field in the Norwegian Sea.
The 6407/7-9S probe will test the Njord Nord Flank 2 prospect in a water depth of 323 metres in Statoil-operated production licence 107C, with drilling scheduled to start at the end of this month and have a duration of around 33 days, according to the Petroleum Safety Authority.
