Neptune Energy confirms hydrocarbon discovery at Dugong well

Neptune Energy and its partners have announced the discovery of hydrocarbons at the Dugong well (PL 882) in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea. A contingent side-track may be drilled to further define the extent of the discovery.

Dugong is located at a water depth of 330 metres and is close to the existing production facilities of the Snorre field. 

Dugong has been drilled by the Deepsea Yantai (pictured), a new semi-submersible rig, owned by CIMC and operated by Odfjell Drilling.  

Dugong partners are Neptune Energy (operator, 40%), Concedo (20%), Petrolia NOCO (20%) and Idemitsu Petroleum Norge (20%).
