Published 25.05.2010 09:08:20 by John Bradbury
Statoil  has gained a green light for a new exploration well between the Gudrun and Sigrun discoveries in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea.

Permission has been granted for the Transocean Leader to drill the 15/3-9 well in Production Licence 187, located between the 15/3-1 S Gudrun discovery and the 15/3-4 Sigrun find, and 45 km  (28 miles) north from Sleipner.

Statoil will operate the well, with 65% equity, partnered by Marathon and GDF Suez, which have 10% and 25% licence equity.

The Transocean Leader will commence the new wildcat once it has completed 6506/1-A2 on the Morvin field for Statoil in PL134B
