ERN has finished drilling of exploration well 31/8-1 (“Breiflabb”). The well failed to encounter hydrocarbons. The main risk of the Breiflabb prospect was the access to a mature source rock, and the charge risk was confirmed.
The operations went well finishing ahead of schedule and with no people accidents nor environmental incidents.
The Borgland Dolphin rig will now be drilling two other wells before coming onto contract with ERN again. ERN estimates to spud the Sesam well in PL350 in October.
