PL 416 Breiflabb

Block 31/8 lies within the Stord Basin, approximately 30 km southwest of the Troll Field. The primary prospectivity within the block is the ”Breiflabb” prospect, which is a fault controlled structural trap with potential for multiple vertically-stacked reservoir intervals. The main reservoir potential is related to the shallow-marine sandstones of the Upper Jurassic Sognefjord Formation. Additional, deeper reservoir potential may be found in the underlying Lower – Middle Jurassic Brent and Dunlin Groups. The key risk element for the prospect is considered to be hydrocarbon charge.

The license group consists of:       
E.ON Ruhrgas Norge AS (op) 50 %
Rocksource ASA 35 %
Det Norske Oljeselskap ASA 15 %
