Recoverable resources for discoveries in the Åre Formation range from 6 to 25 MMboe at Haltenbanken.
Norwegian company Wintershall Dea, together with partners DNO Norge and Equinor, recently completed drilling an appraisal well at the Bergknapp discovery, located in the Norwegian Sea. After completing this stage, the team is now analyzing possible development options for the area.
The successful drilling of the appraisal well at Bergknapp was carried out by the Transocean Norge platform in early December, with the aim of reducing uncertainties relating to recoverable oil and gas resources in Norway. The updated estimate points to 44 to 75 MMboe of recoverable oil and gas resources in the Garn, Ile and Tilje formations, in addition to 6 to 25 MMboe in the Åre Formation discovery. This discovery is part of license PL836S, located in the strategic area for Wintershall Dea, 8 km west of the operated Maria field and close to several other producing fields.
