Norway's Aker BP makes small gas discovery in North Sea Sept 16 (Reuters) - Norway's Aker BP AKRBP.OL has made a small gas discovery in the North Sea, 25 kilometres (15.53 miles) north of the Duva field, the Norwegian offshore directorate said on Wednesday.
Preliminary estimates suggest the discovery may contain between 1 million to 15 million barrels of oil equivalent, the directorate said in a statement.
Aker BP operates the prospect and holds a 40% stake, while Inpex Idemitsu 1605.T owns 30%, Okea OKEA.OL holds 20% and Harbour Energy the remaining 10% of the licence.
The licence partners will assess the well results to determine whether the discovery is economically profitable, as well as potential further delineation of the discovery.
