British independent oil and gas company, Dana Petroleum Plc., announced it has discovered oil at the West Rinnes structure in Block 210/24a in the UK Northern North Sea.
The structure is located only 5 km from the Dana-operated Hudson producing oil field and 2.5 km from Dana's Melville oil field.
Dana-operated Rinnes well 210/24a-11 has been drilled to a total measured depth of 6,470 feet and encountered a full Brent reservoir sequence, the company said.
Initial analysis indicates that the Rinnes oil is very similar in quality to that being produced by Dana at the nearby Hudson oil field, the company added.
