By GlobalDataLast March, Pandion Energy announced exploration drilling results for PL 820 S, revealing that wells 25/8-19 S and 25/8-19 had proved hydrocarbons at five different intervals.
Located in block 2/9, east-northeast of the Valhall & Hod fields, the PL 617 licence contains the Eidsvoll prospect.
Pandion Energy owns a 10% stake in the Valhall & Hod fields, where MOL Norge is the operator.
The licence partners, including OMV (Norge), are expected to drill the Eidsvoll exploration well this year.
In June, MOL Norge and partners announced the discovery of oil and gas in the production licence PL820 S in the Norwegian North Sea.
The discovery was made after the drilling of the exploration well to a total depth of 2,652m below sea level.
