About Hurricane:

Hurricane was discovered in 1995 by well 29/10-4Z which tested the western lobe
of a mapped structure and encountered light oil (41 degrees API) in a 62 foot
section of reservoir sands. The Hurricane appraisal well is being designed to
confirm hydrocarbons in the eastern lobe of the structure, characterised by high
porosity (up to 30%) channelised Paleocene Rogaland sandstones. Upon the
successful appraisal of Hurricane, the intention is to suspend the well as a
future development well.
