Stavanger, 19 January 2011: Norwegian Energy Company ASA (Noreco, OSE:NOR) has
been awarded three new licenses in the 2011 Awards in Predefined Areas (APA) in
Norway.
- We are very pleased with these awards which allow Noreco to continue our
expansion on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. The new licenses represent
valuable additions to our existing near term exploration portfolio, says
Noreco's CEO Scott Kerr.
The new license PL348B covers an extension of the existing license PL348,
containing the Gygrid discovery, and where additional prospectivity has been
identified.
License PL360B is adjacent to PL360 and contains part of the Lupin prospect
where an exploration well is being planned for drilling this year.
The third license awarded was PL591, which is located in blocks 6507/8, 9 and
11. The identified prospects are in a Middle Jurassic Fangst Group play. Spring
Energy is the operator with 60% and Noreco has the remaining 40%. The area
comprises several mapped prospects and leads with a gross potential of more than
100 million barrels of oil equivalents.
