About the discovery
WRITTEN BY THE NORWEGIAN OFFSHORE DIRECTORATE
7324/8-1 (Wisting) is a discovery in the Barents Sea, 300 kilometres off the northern coast of Norway. The water depth is 400 metres. The discovery was proven in 2013, and subsequently delineated by wells 7324/7-3 S and 7324/8-3 in 2016 and 2017, respectively. The reservoirs contain oil in sandstone of Early Jurassic age in the Nordmela and Stø Formations and of Late Triassic age in the Fruholmen Formation. The reservoirs are shallow, and the Nordmela and Stø Formations have good reservoir properties. The discovery will most likely be developed as a stand-alone installation.
