For exploration wells and development wells with exploration targets, the following information should be included in the drilling programme: 

• Well information: production licence, licensees, well name, drilling facility (name, owner, water depth, RKB/rotary table, etc.), coordinates, brief history of the production licence.
• Geological background: regional geological location, map with coordinates for the production licence, including an outline of the prospect and well location, lithological column with depths, formations and explanatory text, pressure, temperature.
• Presentation of the prospect: map (time and depth), geological description, velocities, intersecting seismic lines through the well, at least one geo-seismic section, volume with probability. Form, prospect data (Excel) .
• Data acquisition: type and recipient (including the Norwegian Offshore Directorate), criteria (e.g. for coring, WL), table showing planned formation evaluation.
• Organisation chart showing positions, telephone numbers and e-mail addresses.
