April 2 (Reuters) - Premier Oil Plc (LSE: PMO.L - news) and Falkland Oil and Gas Ltd said they made an oil and gas discovery at a well in the Falkland Islands (LSE: FKL.L - news) , the first in a nine-month drilling campaign.

The companies said the discovery of 81 feet of net-oil bearing reservoir and 55 feet of net gas-bearing reservoir at the Zebedee well was better than expected.

Zebedee is the first of six wells that are part of a drilling campaign started in March by Rockhopper and Falkland Oil and involves Premier Oil and Noble Energy Inc (NYSE: NBL - news) .
