Hydro strikes oil under Troll

Norwegian oil company Hydro announced on Monday a promising oil discovery under the oil and natural gas fields already producing at the enormous Troll field in the North Sea. The Oslo-based petroleum and light metals group said prospects for developing the find in the deeper rock structures were promising because the oil is so close to an existing offshore field.
Hydro said further tests and drilling will be needed to determine the amount of additional oil that could be produced.
Troll is Europe's largest natural gas field currently in operation, and also produces 260,000 barrels of oil per day from a thin reservoir. The new well struck oil under the previously discovered deposits in what is called the Brent formation.
"Hydro currently produces oil and gas from reservoirs in the Sognefjord and Fensfjord formations. The Brent formation, known as a petroleum-bearing reservoir rock-type in other areas of the North Sea, lies 500 meters (1,640 feet) under these formations," a news release said.

Shortly after finding natural gas Hydro finds more oil in a different location outside Norway.

Never use "strike" and "troll" in the same sentence unless you're speaking of "zot."

Most of the names of the rids are from history. Like Viking names etc. Not Troll thought that is a creature from the old folk stories.
