Offshore wells and workovers planned for 2026 will cover the Joint Development Area (JDA) and L blocks operated by Tenaz Energy Group in Dutch North Sea waters, together with partner-operated blocks in the same region.

Its 2026 budget report shows that Tenaz Energy Group is using three jackup rigs across its Dutch North Sea producing fields.

The jackup Shelf Drilling Winner is assigned to the KO7-FB-103 well in the JDA, which Tenaz Energy Group operates. Over the next year, the company expects to drill three wells on its JDA and L block acreage and to maintain its workover campaign on these operated assets.

The Borr Prospector 1, under contract to ONE-Dyas, is working on the GEMS licence, which reaches into German waters. The rig is being prepared to re-enter and complete a well within the N05 pool that had previously been drilled only in part as an infill target. ONE-Dyas plans to launch a four-well drilling programme next year aimed at a mix of infill targets and near-field exploration prospects.

The third unit, Noble Resolute, has started drilling the Eni-operated L10-M4 Malachite well. For next year, Eni plans to drill at least one well, with any additional wells partly dependent on rig scheduling.
