Norway’s natural gas producers are operating near full capacity, according to the country’s energy minister, putting further pressure on European nations looking to fill depleted stockpiles of the fuel. “We are essentially producing at full capacity. I don’t think there is much additional output to be found,” Terje Aasland said in an interview at his […]
Equinor ASA said Monday it had made an oil discovery near the Snorre field, on Norway’s side of the North Sea, that could be rapidly developed as a tieback to existing infrastructure in the area. The Norwegian majority state-owned energy major put the preliminary estimate for Omega South Alpha, or well 34/4-19 S, at 25-89 […]
OKEA ASA and its partners have discovered more hydrocarbon deposits in the producing Brage field on Norway’s side of the North Sea.
Norway on Tuesday offered 57 new production licenses to 19 companies in the annual licensing round for acreage in the best-explored areas on the Norwegian continental shelf, as Western Europe’s biggest oil and gas producer looks to maintain the current high level of output for years to come.
A few years ago, Aker BP, a fast-growing Norwegian oil and gas firm that specialises in innovative exploration, decided to try. Using a combination of new drill technology and software, they explored the thin seam of oil – sometimes only 30ft or so thick – below the gas field.
The Norwegian Offshore Directorate has approved a project to connect the Troll B production platform on Norway’s side of the North Sea to the Kvitebjorn gas export pipeline.
Energy Minister Terje Aasland commented, “Norway will remain a long-term supplier of oil and gas to Europe, while the Norwegian continental shelf will continue to create values and jobs for our country. To deliver on this commitment, we must make more discoveries – and to make more discoveries, we must explore”.
Rex International Holding Ltd. reported that oil and gas production from its assets in Norway, Oman and Germany averaged 12,230 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boed) in August 2025, supported by output from the Brage and Yme fields in Norway, the Yumna field offshore Oman, and the Schwarzbach and Lauben fields in Germany.
The framework agreement begins in August 2025 and runs until July 2027, with four optional one-year extensions. The scope includes planning, advisory and execution services across insulation, coatings, passive fire protection, structural access and software-driven performance enhancement.
