StatoilHydro Petroleum AS said Friday it is now concluding the drilling of wildcat well 6407/7-8.
The well is located about 16 km north of the Njord field in the Norwegian Sea, and proved gas/condensate.
The well did prove gas/condensate in the Middle to Lower Jurassic, but the size of the discovery has not yet been clarified.
The well will be permanently plugged and abandoned.
This is the eleventh exploration well in production licence 107, which was awarded in the 9th licensing round in 1985.
