The Statoil-contracted drilling rig Songa Trym encountered a minor oil discovery while drilling wildcat well 35/11-17 located approximately 1 kilometer south of the Fram field in the North Sea.

The well was drilled to a TVD of 2889 meters in 357 meters of water depth and will be permanently plugged and abandoned.
