Statoil makes new gas discovery at Gymir
Norway Gas was discovered in production licence 602 after the second exploration well was drilled. Recoverable resource estimates stand between 1-3 bcm of gas.
The find is the third made by Statoil in three months in the Aasta Hansteen area, with gas encountered at the Snefrid North and Roald Rygg fields.
“Additional reserves from the three discoveries tied in to Aasta Hansteen will be important for increasing the value of the Aasta Hansteen investment,” said Statoil vice-president Torolf Christensen for the Aasta Hansteen project in a company statement.
