The Petrolia NOCO AS's Dugong license announces that an appraisal well has commenced drilling on the Dugong discovery, located in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea in Production License 882. Petrolia has 20% ownership in the license and sees great potential in this area. The appraisal well is important for the maturation of the Dugong discovery towards a commercial development. The Dugong discovery was one of the largest discoveries on the Norwegian Continental Shelf in 2020 with recoverable volumes between 40 -120 million barrels of oil equivalent (boe) as communicated by the NPD in their press release. The Dugong partners also plan to drill an exploration well in the license in the third quarter of 2021, targeting the Dugong Tail prospect.
