Vår Energi confirms the discovery of oil in the operated 7122/8-1S Countach well in PL229 (Goliat), north-west of Hammerfest.
The well is currently drilled to 2,958-metre measured depth and oil has been encountered in the Realgrunnen and Kobbe formations.
A sidetrack is planned to better define the size of the discovery. Extensive data is being collected for further assessment. Updated information about volume estimates will be released at a later date.
