Wedoany.com Report-Oct 31 ,TotalEnergies SE made a new gas condensate discovery in the Harald field in the Danish North Sea through the HEMJ-1X well.

The HEMJ-1X well was drilled in the eastern part of Harald field, located in shallow waters, some 155 miles off the west coast of Denmark. The well encountered 48 meters (157.5 feet) of net gas condensate pay in a good quality reservoir, it said in a media release.

According to TotalEnergies, the HEMJ-1X well will be immediately connected to the Harald platform and is expected to start producing before the end of the year through the existing Harald and Tyra facilities.

“The success of the Harald East Middle Jurassic well, near our Harald facilities in Denmark, demonstrates the strength of our exploration strategy. This additional discovery at the Harald field will contribute to the Danish energy supply by boosting our existing production in the North Sea in line with the Danish National Compromise”, said Kevin McLachlan, Senior Vice President for Exploration at TotalEnergies.
