Noreco Norway has informed that the Haribo exploration well in the North Sea has been drilled to total depth without encountering hydrocarbons.
The well will now be plugged and abandoned as the targeted high porosity reworked chalk reservoir was not found.
Spudded on June 21, 2015 the well was drilled by the semi-submersible drilling rig Transocean Searcher on the Haribo prospect, which is located approximately eight kilometres south of the Valhall Field in the Norwegian part of the North Sea. Drilling was stopped at 3,388 metres below sea level in the Upper Cretaceous Hidra formation.
