独立的天然气和原油生产商Wintershall Dea公司已在挪威获得了9个新的勘探许可证,其中3个是运营商。
在预定义区域(APA) 2019年授权轮中,Wintershall DEA获得了巴伦支海一个授权、挪威海四个授权和北海四个授权的参与权益。
该公司在声明中表示,这是自Wintershall公司和DEA公司在2019年合并以来的首次。
“我们已经获得了挪威大陆架上所有三个区域的许可证,包括现有油田附近和未开发地区。许可证覆盖了不同的地理区域,为我们提供了很好的勘探机会。”温特沙尔公司总经理阿尔夫·索尔海姆说。
挪威Wintershall DEA公司是现有最大的许可证持有者之一。该公司表示,这一最新的合同将使其授权数量增加到100多个。
其他北海地区的勘探许可证有Wintershall Dea经营的Brage油田、Snorre油田(其中Wintershall Dea拥有8.6%的权益)和Edvard Grieg油田(其中Wintershall Dea拥有15%的权益)附近。
在巴伦支海Wintershall Dea已获得PL 609 D许可证30%的权益,该许可证保护了PL 609中Alta石油和天然气的全部发现。

Wintershall Dea grabs nine Norwegian Continental Shelf exploration licenses
Independent natural gas and crude oil producer Wintershall Dea has secured interests in nine new exploration licenses in Norway, including three as an operator.
In the Awards for Predefined Areas (APA) 2019 licensing round, WintershallDEA received participating interest in one license in the Barents Sea, four in the Norwegian Sea, and four in the North Sea.
The awards are the first since Wintershall and DEA merged in 2019, the company said in its statement.
“We have been awarded licenses in all three areas on the Norwegian Continental Shelf, both near existing fields, and in under-explored areas. The licenses have varied geology and are widely spread geographically, providing us with very good exploration opportunities,” said Alv Solheim, managing director of Wintershall Dea Norge.
Wintershall Dea Norge is one of the largest license holders on the shelf. This latest award will grow the portfolio to over 100 licenses, the company said.
The other North Sea licenses are located close to the Wintershall Dea operated Brage field, the Snorre field, where Wintershall Dea has an 8.6 percent interest, and the Edvard Grieg field, where Wintershall Dea has a 15 percent interest.
In the Barents Sea Wintershall Dea has been awarded a 30 percent interest in the PL 609 D license, which secures the full extent of the Alta oil and gas discovery in PL 609.
The Ministry awarded a total of 69 licenses to 28 companies in the APA 2019 licensing round. The round comprises blocks in predefined areas in the North Sea, the Norwegian Sea and the Barents Sea. In total, 33 companies applied for blocks, Wintershall Dea said.
