Field Development
Yttergryta is a small gas and condensate field located 33 km east of Åsgard (see map). The field is part of production licence 062, and the Plan for Development and Operation (PDO) for Yttergryta was approved by the King in Council on 23 May 2008. The consent relates to use of a single subsea production facility and an approx. 5 km long pipeline to the X well template on the Midgard field. From here, the wellstream from Yttergryta will run to Åsgard B together with the wellstream from Midgard, through an existing pipeline.
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

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.
