“Equinor Acquires Shell’s Operation at the Linnorm Discovery in the Norwegian Sea, with Recoverable Gas Resources and Producing Fields.”

Equinor will acquire Shell’s equity interest and operation at the Linnorm discovery in the Norwegian Sea. The company will acquire a 30% interest in PL 255, which encompasses the Linnorm discovery, subject to the acquisition of the operation from A/S Norske Shell. The closing of the deal is expected in the first quarter of 2024. The Linnorm discovery in the Norwegian Sea, confirmed in 2005, is the largest undeveloped gas discovery in the NCS. Linnorm contains approximately 25-30 billion cubic meters (bcm) of recoverable gas resources, making it richer in gas than the remaining reserves in each of the producing fields Aasta Hansteen, Martin Linge, and Gina Krog.
