Neptune Energy preliminarily estimates that 6-22 MMboe of recoverable reserves were discovered at its Calypso exploration well on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, 14 km northwest of Draugen field and 22 km northeast of Njord A platform in PL 938. As initial analysis of Calypso indicates commercial potential, the operator will study options to develop the discovery using nearby infrastructure.
Well 6407/8-8S was drilled by Odfjell Drilling’s Deepsea Yantai semi-submersible rig to a vertical depth of 3,496 m. Reservoir targets were middle and lower Jurassic formations (OGJ Online, Nov. 16, 2022). The well encountered an estimated 8-m thick gas column and 30-m thick oil column in a 131-m thick Garn formation sandstone reservoir of good to very good quality. Calypso is Neptune Energy’s third discovery in 6 months on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
Neptune Energy is operator (30%) with partners OKEA ASA (30%), Pandion Energy AS (20%), and Vår Energi ASA (20%).
