Norway: The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate releases more well data
14 Jun 2021
The
Norwegian Petroleum Directorate is releasing prognosis and result data from wildcat wells from the period between 1990 and 2000. Moving forward, such data will be regularly made available via the FactPages on npd.no. Successful wildcat wells, as well as dry ones, provide geologists with valuable information in the quest for new discoveries. This is why the companies must report a significant amount of data following wildcat drilling. This data is analysed to learn more.
The data is now available via the FactPages. This is in keeping with the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate s (NPD s) philosophy that as much data as possible should be available to everyone, and that competition between the companies is a matter of who makes best use of the data.

Norway invites bids in latest APA oil & gas round
Norway s petroleum ministry has invited bids in the country s latest awards in predefined areas (APA) oil and gas licensing round, it reported on June 9.
The round will offer rights to 84 blocks, including 70 in the Barents Sea, 10 in the Norwegian Sea and four in the North Sea. The deadline for bid submissions is September 8 and licences are expected to be awarded in early 2022. A consultation on the offering began in late February.
APA rounds offer licences in more extensively explored and developed areas of the Norwegian shelf, where there is more infrastructure but discoveries are likely to be smaller. The previous APA contest led to the award of 61 production licences to 30 companies in January.
The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD) has granted OMV (Norge) a drilling permit for wildcat well 1/3-13 in production licence PL 970. The well will be drilled about 6 kms south of the Oselvar field and 25 kms south of the Ula field.
