Oil production on the Norwegian continental shelf is dramatically decreasing because few new fields are being discovered and put into production. The results of the appraisal well on Grevling is encouraging with regard to a speedy development of the field. Det norske, who owns 30 percent of the discovery, will support and assist the operator Talisman so that a speedy economic development of Grevling can be realised.
It is too early to conclude, but a development of Grevling may also lead to the possible recovery of the resources found in Storskrymten, 5 km west of Grevling.

"Grevling, together with the other commercial discoveries in wich Det norske has interests, Frøy, Draupne, Storklakken and Jetta, will help to reduce the fall in oil production on the NCS from 2013 and onwards" says CEO Erik Haugane.
The operation were carried out with the semi-submerssible drilling facilityTransocean Winner, see picture below
