Wintershall AG completed three exploratory wells in the Alpine foothills in southern Germany where it is using a helicopter-assisted electromagnetic exploration method.

Wintershall said it is unable to determine the existence of hydrocarbons with the seismic methods previously used.

Three of the company's wells: 220,000 bbls in 2011; total cost 7.5 million euros.
