Norwegian energy company Statoil made an oil and gas discovery in the North Sea in an area not previously known to hold reserves, the government said.<\/span><\/h4>\n

Using its Gullfaks C platform, the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate confirmed a discovery of oil and gas in the Gimle field, about 4 miles away from the Gullfaks field that’s already in production. The discovery was made in a so-called wildcat well, a well drilled into an area not previously known to hold reserves.<\/span><\/h4>\n

Considered a relatively minor find, the NPD estimated the size of the discovery at between 6 million and 18 million barrels of oil equivalent.<\/span><\/h4>\n

“The discovery will be produced from a subsequent development well from the Gullfaks C platform,” the NPD stated.<\/span><\/h4>\n

Overall reserves for the Gimle field were proven in December 2004 for Statoil. Ownership issues means processing there needs to be associated with Gullfaks licenses.<\/span><\/h4>\n

The Norwegian government reported production levels for February of 1.67 million barrels of oil per day and 365,000 barrels of natural gas liquids. Oil production in particular was nearly a full percentage point higher than the NPD expected for February.<\/span><\/h4>\n

Apart from Russia, Norway is one of the main suppliers of oil and natural gas for the European economy. Nearly all of its offshore production is slated for exports.<\/span><\/h4>\n
