Drilling
Det norske’s drilling activities consist mainly of exploration drilling. In 2013, Det norske is scheduled to participate in 10-12 exploration and appraisal wells, of which we will operate two. As the operator of the Jette and Ivar Aasen developments, Det norske is also involved in development drilling. See our entire 2013 drilling schedule on the right-hand side of this page. Please note that changes to the schedule may occur.
Completed wells in 2013:Darwin
16/5-3 in PL 501
Ogna
Kvitsøy
Det norske has a contract for the drilling rig Transocean Barents, which will be utilized in the drilling on the Caurus prospect in the Barents Sea. The company also holds a contract with Maersk Drilling for the jackup rig Maersk Giant, to be employed in the drilling of an exploration well on Augunshaug in the North Sea.
Maersk also supplies the drilling rig to be used in the drilling of the production wells on Ivar Aasen. The jackup rig, XLE 2, is currently under construction in Singapore and is scheduled to be ready for use in the first quarter of 2015. XLE 2 is the world’s largest and most cutting-edge jackup drilling rig.
