In the 22nd licensing round on the Norwegian continental shelf Statoil has been awarded interests in seven production licences in the Barents Sea. Three of the licences will be Statoil operated.
"Statoil has been awarded new quality acreage in the Barents Sea. It creates a good foundation for expanding and deepening the core position Statoil has built in the region in line with the company's sharpened exploration strategy," says Gro Gunleiksrud Haatvedt, Statoil senior vice president for exploration on the NCS.
"Statoil is pleased with the award, which is in line with our application. We have got equity in all prioritised licences for this round," says Haatvedt.
