Spirit Energy reports a “technical oil discovery” on its Tethys Prospect in the Norwegian North Sea. Well 35/9-14 on PL 682 cut 20 m of hydrocarbon-bearing sandstone in the Oxfordian (Upper Jurassic) Heather formation. Reservoir quality was poor. A downdip sidetrack encountered 30 of sandstone with hydrocarbon shows, but reservoir quality there also was low.
