Drilling on the Clapton prospect exploration well offshore Norway has started.

News that the first strings of drillpipe are being put downhole  will be music to the ears of those at Faroe Petroleum and other partners on the prospect.

Faroe said the 2/8-18S Clapton in PL440S in block 2/8 is its first operated well offshore Norway and it is being drilled at a distance of 5 kilometres (3.1 miles) east of the Eldfisk East field, and 10 km (6.2 miles) north of Valhall, targeting a chalk prospect on the flanks of a salt dome.

Drilling on Clapton will be targeting Ekofisk, Tor and Hod formations, and is being carried out by the Maersk Guardian jackup.

“The well is targeting the Clapton prospect, which is in close proximity to a number of giant oil fields in this prolific area of the Norwegian North Sea,” declared Faroe's chief executive Graham Stewart today.

“This is an exciting period for Faroe Petroleum with three high impact exploration wells drilling at the same time. We look forward to the results of the Cooper well in the Norwegian North Sea (Faroe 30%), the North Uist exploration well west of Shetland (Faroe 6.3%) together with our own operated Clapton well,” he added.

Faroe's partners in the Clapton play are Dana Petroleum, Lundin, the Norwegian Energy company and Det Norske Oljselskap.
