Licences were issued after a land sale by the Canada-Newfoundland and Labrador Offshore Petroleum Board.

Statoil said that it would be the operator of both licences with a 50% stake, with partners Chevron Canada and Repsol E&P Canada holding a 40% and 10%, respectively.

Statoil conducted an exploration programme at the Mizzen discovery and its Fiddlehead prospect in the Jeanne d’Arc Basin earlier this year.
