Harbour Energy Starts Drilling in Norwegian Sea for Camilla North Gas Condensate
Harbour Energy has received a permit to drill in the Norwegian Sea. The operation, set to begin soon, is part of the company's strategy to expand its Norwegian portfolio following the acquisition of Wintershall Dea. The drilling will target the Camilla North discovery, where gas condensate is anticipated.
The drilling, expected to take around 62 days, will be conducted using the semi-submersible Transocean Norge. It is an independent exploration well, located approximately 2.5 kilometers north of Harbour's Vega North oil recovery facility. The permit covers well 35/8-8 S in production licenses 248 LS and 248 B.
Harbour's average production in the first half of this year stood at 170,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. The company's business model in Norway revolves around infrastructure-supported exploration and developing discoveries through underwater connections to existing production facilities. The partnership for this drilling operation remains unchanged from the Vega unit, with Harbour Energy holding a 56.7% stake.
The drilling permit for the Camilla North discovery is a significant step for Harbour Energy in Norway. With no production tests planned during the operation, the focus remains on exploration. The company's commitment to Norway, following the Wintershall Dea acquisition, is evident in this latest development.
