V锟絩 Energi's appraisal well 7122/8-3 A has confirmed the 7122/8-3 S ("Zagato") oil discovery in the Goliat area.
Preliminary estimates indicate the size of the discovery is between 3.3 and 11.9 million standard cubic metres (Sm3) of recoverable oil equivalent (o.e.). This corresponds to between 21 and 75 million barrels of o.e.
This exploration well is the 14th well drilled in production licence 229, which was awarded in the Barents Sea Project (1997).
The exploration well was drilled by the COSLProspector rig.
The licensees are considering tying the discovery back to existing infrastructure on the Goliat field.
