The programme at position 72°12' 44.2" north and 19°46' 38.3" east relates to the drilling of a wildcat well in production licence 533.
Lundin Norway operates the licence with an ownership interest of 35%. Det norske oljeselskap also holds a 35% stake, while the remaining 30% is owned by DEA Norge.
The area in this licence comprises blocks 7219/12 and 7220/10.
Lundin Norway was awarded production licence 533 on 15 May 2009 in the 20th licensing round on the Norwegian shelf.
The permit is conditional, based on the company securing all necessary permits and consents required by other authorities before starting drilling activities.
