Assuming approval from the Norwegian authorities, Explora will take Wintershall’s 15% stake in licenses PL375, 375B, and 375C, which contains the 34/4-11(Beta) oil discovery. All the permits are near the Statoil-operated Snorre field.

John Pickard, CEO of Explora Petroleum, said: “The Beta oil discovery has been proved by two wells, 34/4-11 and 34/4-13S. We…plan to take an active role in the appraisal of the extent of the discovery.”
