Norway: OKEA acquires Repsol s interest in the Vette oil discovery
18 Dec 2020
Repsol Norge for the acquisition of Repsol’s 40% operated working interest in
PL 972, which includes the
Vette oil discovery, with effective date 1 January 2021.
The
Vette discovery (Block 17/12) is located at a water depth of about 110 metres in the south-eastern part of the North Sea. OKEA estimates that the recoverable volumes are in the range of 30-50 mmboe. ONE-Dyas Norge and M Vest Energy each hold a 30% working interest in the licence which also includes the
Mackerel and Brisling discoveries.
OKEA will pursue a cost-efficient development of Vette with a concept applicable for production from small discoveries. OKEA has been working with the Grevling field development plan during the last years. Vette has a similar size as Grevling, and the two fields may jointly constitute a coordinated serial development enabling a satisfactory breakeven cost for both fields.
