2011 – a fantastic year
2011 was a fantastic year, both for Det norske and the industry as a whole. A total of 50 wells were drilled on the NCS. Det norske participated in 11 wells. The company made discoveries in six out of nine exploration wells in 2011.

This year’s highlight was the discovery on Johan Sverdrup (former Aldous / Avaldsnes). Sverdrup is the third biggest discovery ever on the NCS, and one of the world’s most sizeable discoveries in recent years.

2011 also brought us some very promising discoveries in the Barents Sea. Det norske participated in the discovery at Norvarg. Collectively, all discoveries on the NCS this year constitute between 2.2 and 4.3 billion barrels of oil equivalents.
