Fishbones announces the completion of a new production well with Lundin Energy
22 May 2021
Fishbones and Lundin Energy Norway have announced the completion of a new production well on the Edvard Grieg field.
Parts of the reservoir on Edvard Grieg consist of conglomerates, which is a hard and tight reservoir type.
