"We are pleased that we have been awarded the areas we applied for in the APA 2022 licensing round. The licences are located in one of our core areas and fit well with our existing portfolio including the Nova field which was put on stream during 2022 and the recent Ofelia discovery in production license 929. This year’s APA awards is in line with our strategy of being an active, full-cycle partner driving value in high-quality assets on the NCS."
