Wintershall Dea Concludes Successfully The Assessment Of The Bergknapp Discovery With Partners DNO Norge And Equinor In Field Development In The Strategic Area.

Wintershall Dea and its partners DNO Norge and Equinor have successfully completed the drilling of an evaluation well at the Bergknapp discovery in the Norwegian Sea. The team is already analyzing various development options for the discovery.

The discovery of Bergknapp is a significant achievement for the company, located in license PL836S, a strategic area for Wintershall Dea in Norway. Situated just eight kilometers west of the operated Maria field and 200 kilometers north of Kristiansund on Norway’s west coast, this discovery is positioned near several other producing fields in the Norwegian Sea. The partnership is confident in the development potential of this discovery.

The evaluation well, completed by the Transocean Norge rig in early December, was conducted to minimize volumetric and subsurface uncertainties at Bergknapp, including the underlying discovery in the Åre Formation.

Focused Exploration And Success Strategy

In recent years, we have witnessed significant success with our strategy of exploring areas where we have deep subsurface knowledge and access to existing infrastructure. This focused exploration strategy maximizes our chances of making commercial discoveries while also reducing the time required for their development, stated Michael Zechner, General Director of Wintershall Dea Norge.

The updated recoverable value and resource estimate for the oil discovery in the Garn, Ile, and Tilje formations is between 44 million and 75 million barrels of oil equivalent. Meanwhile, estimates for the underlying Åre Formation discovery range between six and 25 million barrels of oil equivalent.

Expansion And Ongoing Investment

The original oil discovery at the Bergknapp prospect in 2020, followed by a gas discovery in the deeper Åre Formation during a successful re-entry and sidetrack in 2021, represents a significant milestone for Wintershall Dea. The operator, along with its other partners, will continue to invest in new exploration and development opportunities in the strategic area.

Transocean Norge, under a long-term contract for Wintershall Dea and OMV, will now shift its focus to the PL211 CS license operated by Wintershall Dea. There, it will drill another evaluation well in the Adriana and Sabina discoveries.

We strongly believe in the potential of this area and will continue to leverage our existing position here to invest in new exploration and development opportunities, said Roy Davies, VP Exploration for Wintershall Dea Norge.

Engineers want to carve through Africa with a giant canal to bring water from the world’s second-largest river to a dying lake on the edge of the Sahara Desert that has already lost 90% of its water.

Brazil filled the Northeast with wind turbines but now faces the side effect of 705 giant blades reaching the end of their lifespan by 2032 just in Rio Grande do Norte, while the world projects 43 million tons of waste by 2050.

India approved the country’s first submerged road-rail tunnel, 15.8 kilometers dug under the bed of the Brahmaputra River.

Instead of burning or burying old tires, an American city is transforming about 2,000 of them into the street itself, paving its first sections with a quieter and more durable rubber asphalt.

In just one cast, fishermen are surprised to capture 14,096 mullets in Bombinhas and close a historic season with 58,000 fish; scene recorded in the Santa Catarina paradise marks the last day of the 2026 season.

10 giant tortoises are reintroduced and, in just 6 months, trigger changes that lead scientists to investigate a phenomenon absent for 180 years; the numbers recorded on the island impress researchers from around the world.

Greek island offers free housing for volunteers, but there’s a condition: you need to take care of rescued cats.

What many people consider a weed has become a bicycle in the hands of a Chilean. José Tomás transforms coligüe, a native bamboo that grows up to five times faster than pine, into bikes, canes, and cutlery.

Only 28% of the ocean floor has been accurately mapped, less than what is already known about the surface of Mars and the Moon, and scientists consider the topic strategic for Brazil, with a global goal to map everything by 2030.

Japan wants to bury a 500 km “cargo conveyor” between Tokyo and Osaka to replace up to 25,000 trucks per day, move goods through tunnels and automated driverless corridors, and avoid a logistical collapse in an increasingly aging country.
