PL 528

This license is located on the Nyk High in the Vøring Basin (Norwegian Sea), immediately east and northeast of the Luva, Haklang and Snefrid discoveries. Several prospects have been identified within the license, with prospectivity present at multiple reservoir levels. Three of these prospects were tested by acquiring CSEM data, prior to application. After processing of the data Rocksource has concluded that resistivity anomalies are associated with the prospects, and the observed anomalies are likely to be caused by hydrocarbons.

The license group consists of:
Petro-Canada Norge AS (Operator): 40%
Centrica Resources Norge AS: 30%
Rocksource ASA: 30%
