In 2016, Wintershall Norge AS and PL847 partners were awarded a production license covering blocks 6706/5 and 6706/6 of the Norwegian Continental Shelf. The area is located in the Vøring Basin on the Nagflar Dome, north of the Hel Graben. The Aasta Hansteen gas development is located approximately 60 kilometres to the South. Four Upper Cretaceous prospects have been identified in addition to the Hvitveis discovery. Hvitveis is a faulted 4way dip closure. Marisko, and the three other prospects are tilted fault blocks. The proven reservoir in Hvitveis and the targeted reservoir in the prospects are sands of the Upper Cretaceous Nise Fm level (Figure 1).
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
