The East Hod Chalks - A new play or played out?

East Hod Field is one of two small oil accumulations located in Block 2/11, in the Central Trough<br>of the Norwegian North Sea. Although exploratory drilling was initiated in 1969, the East Hod<br>discovery weIl, 2/11-3a, was not drilled until 1977. Disappointing appraisal and delineation drilling<br>merely confirmed that the Hod Fields with a combined recoverable reserve of 25 mmstb. oil<br>equivalent, were of marginal economic value.
