The Petroleum Safety Authority in Norway has given Lundin Norway AS (Lundin) consent to drill an exploration well in block 16/1 in the North Sea.

Exploration well 16/1-28 S belongs to production licence 338 in the North Sea. Drilling is scheduled to begin in March 2018 and will last around 110 days.

The well is to be drilled by COSLInnovator, which is a semi-submersible drilling facility constructed at the Yantai Raffles Shipyard in China.

The Petroleum Safety Authority issued an Acknowledgement of Compliance (AoC) to COSLInnovator in March 2012.
