Neptune kicks off Duva drilling
Europe s privately-owned Neptune Energy has started drilling the four planned production wells at the Duva oil and gas field in the Norwegian North Sea, the company announced on April 22.
The wells are being drilled by the
Deepsea Yantai, a semi-submersible rig operated by Odfjell Drilling. They were pre-drilled and cased off at a depth of 2,500 m, before the final drilling campaign commenced. The campaign is expected to take around 11o days.
Neptune is developing Duva as a fast-track subsea tieback to the company s Gjoa platform. Three of its wells will flow oil and one gas. The field is due online in the third quarter of 2021 and will produce 25,000 barrels of oil equivalent/day at plateau. Its proven and probable reserves are assessed at 88mn barrels of oil equivalent, of which about 66mn boe is gas.
