Eni in Goliat Drilling Effort
Thursday 23 March 2017
Eni ams to tap additional resource potential at its Goliat oilfield in Norway’s sector of the Barents Sea with a drilling effort targeting the Snadd formation underlying the field.
The Italian operator has applied to the country’s Environment Agency to drill a total of three wells - one pilot and a pair of producers - in its operated production licence 229 that hosts the field.
The wells will be drilled using chartered Saipem-owned semi-submersible Scarabeo 8 via an existing subsea template and it is intended to tie them in for production via the Goliat floating production, storage and offloading vessel.
