Shell’s latest appraisal well on the Onyx gas discovery in the Norwegian Sea has confirmed the northern extent of the find.
The objective of the 6406/9-2 well was to “delimit the discovery”, said the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate. The well encountered gas/water contacts in Middle to Lower Jurassic rocks, thus confirming the northerly extent of the discovery.
The well was not formation tested, but extensive data collection and sampling were carried out, said the NPD. The collected data will be analysed to enhance the estimated size and production characteristics of the discovery.
The water depth at 6406/9-2 was 299 metres. It was the fourth well in production licence 255, and was drilled by the semi-submersible West Alpha, which will now proceed to the Kristin field to drill production well 6506/11-N-2 H.
Shell has previously indicated the 6406/9-1 (Onyx South West) discovery well has gas reserves of more than 100 million barrels of oil equivalent.

Royal Dutch Shell conspired directly with Hitler, financed the Nazi Party, was anti-Semitic and sold out its own Dutch Jewish employees to the Nazis. Shell had a close relationship with the Nazis during and after the reign of Sir Henri Deterding, an ardent Nazi, and the founder and decades long leader of the Royal Dutch Shell Group. His burial ceremony, which had all the trappings of a state funeral, was held at his private estate in Mecklenburg, Germany. The spectacle (photographs below) included a funeral procession led by a horse drawn funeral hearse with senior Nazis officials and senior Royal Dutch Shell directors in attendance, Nazi salutes at the graveside, swastika banners on display and wreaths and personal tributes from Adolf Hitler and Reichsmarschall, Hermann Goring. Deterding was an honored associate and supporter of Hitler and a personal friend of Goring.
Deterding was the guest of Hitler during a four day summit meeting at Berchtesgaden. Sir Henri and Hitler both had ambitions on Russian oil fields. Only an honored personal guest would be rewarded with a private four day meeting at Hitler’s mountain top retreat.
