Noreco's Barents Sea Eik prospect exploration well has been confirmed as a dry hole by the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate.

Today the NPD said the  7228/1-1 well drilled in licence 396 was a dry hole.

Aiming to prove oil and gas in Jurassic and Triassic reservoirs in a Realgrunnen sub-group, which was the primary drilling target, and in a secondary Snadd and Kobbe formation target in the Late and Middle Triassic, the well encountered reservoir quality rocks in both drilling targets, but with only weak petroleum traces in the primary target, the NPD stated.

Although data acquisition was carried out, all the levels in the well were aquiferous - water wet – and the well has been classed as a dry hole.

The well was drilled by the Transocean Barents semi-submersible which is next due to relocate to drill at the Jette field for which a Plan for Development and Operation was approved in February, operated by Det norske oljeselskap.
