Lundin Petroleum has been forced to temporarily abandon drilling on its Albert prospect offshore Norway while the rig drilling the well goes to a yard for a five-year recertification.

Semi-submersible Bredford Dolphin has to go into a yard for a compulsory five-year renewal survey which means interrupting progress on the 6201/11-3 Albert well drilling programme in PL519.
 
“Lundin Petroleum originally anticipated that the well would be completed prior to the date of the renewal survey but due to delays in drilling this was not possible,” the company has disclosed.

Accordingly drilling on the prospect has now been suspended until August.

Drilling at Albert is aiming to test for hydrocarbons in Cretaceous and Triassic intervals in a multi-target structure, and the well has been suspended at a depth of 2,120 metres, where a 13 and 3/8th-inch casing has been set. The planned total depth of the well is 3,150 metres.

Lundin is operating the well with 40%, partnered by Bayerngas Norge, Norwegian Energy Company, and Spring Energy.
