Summary · why it matters

DNO ASA announced that an appraisal well has further delineated the 2023 Carmen gas-condensate discovery in Norwegian North Sea license PL1148, with recoverable resources now estimated at 21–107 million barrels of oil equivalent. The bulk of recoverable volumes was encountered in the Etive Formation, where reservoir quality ranges from moderate to poor, and the partnership will evaluate hydraulic fracturing to enhance recovery. Further appraisal and exploration drilling is being considered, including targets in the north of the laterally extensive Carmen structure. The license partnership consists of DNO Norge AS at 30 percent, operator Wellesley Petroleum AS at 30 percent, Equinor Energy AS at 30 percent, and Aker BP ASA at 10 percent, and will assess development as a tie-back to existing infrastructure such as the Kvitebjørn platform 35 kilometers to the west, in which DNO holds a 19 percent interest.
