Wintershall Norge on the way with Skarfjell

Stavanger. Wintershall is well on track in the North Sea: the largest internationally active German crude oil and natural gas producer announces the successful drilling of the Skarfjell South appraisal well on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. The company proved oil and gas in the upper and lower Intra-Heather sandstones of the Skarfjell structure with reservoir properties that exceed expectations. The appraisal well consists of a main bore (35/9-10S) and a sidetrack (35/9-10A). Both were drilled from the rig Transocean Arctic. Skarfjell, Wintershall''s own-operated discovery from April 2012, is situated in the northeastern North Sea approximately 15 kilometers southwest of the Gjøa platform and about 130 kilometers northwest of Bergen.
