Gas find in north part of North Sea

Hydro has found gas in exploration well 35/2-1 in the north part of the North Sea. The well has proven a large gas deposit and chances for a commercial development are considered good.

Exploration well 35/2-1 was drilled in the Peon prospect, just west of the Agat field at a water depth of 384 meters, by the rig
The well was drilled to a total depth of 687 meters and encountered gas in sands from the Pliocene Age.

The find represents a whole new exploration model and is the shallowest exploration well ever drilled in the Norwegian offshore sector.
