Norwegian Energy Company ASA (Noreco) is pleased to announce that the 02/05 license group in Denmark has been awarded a new license 1/11, immediately to the west of the original 2/05 license area. Noreco is the operator and has a 47 percent interest in both licenses.
The license period is for six years and comes with a commitment to drill an exploration well within two years. The partners have already selected the specific well location and intend to drill the well in 2011. The well will be known as Luna.
The other partners in the license are Elko Energy with 33 percent and the Danish North Sea Fund with 20 percent.
PA Resources AB has signed an agreement with the shareholders to acquire the entire share capital of the British oil exploration company Scotsdale Ltd. The company is focusing on low risk exploration in North West Europe. The acquisition means that PA Resources increases its presence in the North Sea with licenses in the United Kingdom and Denmark, and potentially also in the Netherlands.
Aker Exploration has entered into agreements with the international oil company Eni Norge to acquire ownership interests in two licenses in the vicinity of the Åsgard field. The agreements further strengthen Aker Exploration’s position in the Norwegian Sea.
SCAN Geophysical ASA (SCAN) today announced that the company is
remobilising its seismic vessel, M/V Geo Searcher, to re-commence a previously-suspended
2D project offshore Pakistan for BP.
The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD) has granted ENI Norge AS a drilling permit for wellbore 34/12-1 in the North Sea.
Eni has successfully drilled the last appraisal well, encountered approximately 127 metres (419 ft) of net pay in multiple sands. The initial analysis indicates good reservoir quality.
