The group expects to drill 15-20 exploration wells on the NCS in 2006.
Statoil forventer å bore 15–20 letebrønner på norsk sokkel i 2006.
Statoil will operate about half the wells.
Selskapet skal operere om lag halvparten av brønnene.
Statoil participated, as operator and partner, in 13 completed wells in 2005, about half of which are exploration extensions.
I 2005 har Statoil, som operatør og partner, deltatt i 13 ferdigstilte brønner hvorav rundt halvparten er leteforlengelser.
Hydrocarbons have been proven in nine of these – seven in the North Sea and two in the Norwegian Sea.
Det er påvist hydrokarboner i ni letebrønner, sju i Nordsjøen og to i Norskehavet.
"We have secured rig capacity so that we can increase drilling activity," says Tim Dodson, senior vice president for NCS exploration.
– Selskapet har sikret seg riggkapasitet til å kunne øke boreaktiviteten.
"This year we will benefit from having secured long-term contracts for exploration rigs at an early stage.
I år kan vi ta ut gevinsten ved at vi har vært tidlig ute og sikret oss leterigger på langtidskontrakter.
We have a good basis for increased exploration, but we still need constant access to new exploration acreage to maintain a high level of activity over time."
Vi har et godt grunnlag for økt leting, men vi trenger fortløpende tilgang på nytt leteareal for å opprettholde et høyt aktivitetsnivå over tid.
Due to the increased activity, the group recruited about 100 new exploration personnel last year.
Den økte aktiviteten har ført til at selskapet i fjor rekrutterte om lag 100 personer til leting.
"Finding hydrocarbons on the NCS is becoming more and more demanding," continues Mr Dodson.
– Det blir mer og mer krevende å finne hydrokarboner på norsk sokkel.
Internationally Statoil is planning, as operator and partner, to drill more wells this year than last.
Internasjonalt planlegger Statoil, som operatør og partner, å bore flere brønner i år sammenlignet med fjoråret.
In 2005 the group participated in 12 exploration wells, against the 17 originally planned.
I 2005 deltok selskapet i 12 letebrønner, mot opprinnelig planlagt 17.
Nine finds have been confirmed.
Ni funn er bekreftet.
Several wells have been postponed until this year.
Flere brønner er forskjøvet til i år.
Statoil has operatorships in Algeria, Venezuela and the Faroes, and plans to drill in these countries in 2006.
Statoil har operatøroppgaver på Færøyene, i Algerie og Venezuela.
Last year the group acquired 11 new licences on the Faroes, in Libya, Nigeria, Brazil and the Gulf of Mexico.
I løpet av fjoråret sikret Statoil seg andeler i 11 nye lisenser på Færøyene, i Libya, Nigeria, Brasil og Mexicogolfen.
"We competed on a global stage for many of these licences and won," says Bill Maloney, senior vice president for global exploration in the International Exploration & Production business area.
Maloney, leder for Global leting i forretningsområdet Internasjonal undersøkelse og produksjon.
With plans to drill 30-40 exploration wells in 2006, this will be an active exploration year for Statoil, both on the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS) and internationally.
2006 blir et aktivt leteår for Statoil, både på norsk sokkel og internasjonalt.
Schlumberger will supply personnel and cable logging services.
Schlumberger skal levere personell og loggetjenester på kabel.
The contracts with Aker Kværner and Welltec cover deliveries of personnel and equipment for well tractor services.
Kontraktene med Aker Kværner og Welltec omfatter leveranse av personell og utstyr for brønntraktortjenester.
A well tractor is an electrical device used to insert various instruments into horizontal wells.
Brønntraktor er et elektrisk drevet verktøy som trekker utstyr inn i horisontale brønner.
The deal with Aker Kværner covers the Statfjord field in the North Sea and the Halten/Nordland area in the Norwegian Sea and is worth about NOK 45 million per year.
Avtalen med Aker Kværner, som omfatter Statfjord-feltet i Nordsjøen og Halten/Nordland-området i Norskehavet, er verd rundt 45 millioner kroner årlig.
Contracts for drilling and well services with a total value of NOK 855 million have been given by Statoil to Aker Kværner Well Service, Welltec and Schlumberger.

The Statoil-operated Mikkel field is also producing again.
Samtidig er produksjonen fra det Statoil-opererte Mikkel-feltet i gang igjen.
The Kristin field, also operated by Statoil, is preparing to start up again soon.
Kristin-feltet, som også opereres av Statoil, forbereder oppstart i nær framtid.
And gas exports from the Statoil-operated Heidrun field are in full swing.
Også gasseksporten fra det Statoil-opererte Heidrun-feltet er i gang.
The gas is sent via the Åsgard Transport line.
Gassen sendes gjennom rørledningen Åsgard Transport.
Åsgard B's production was shut down on 15 January after sparks and smoke appeared in an exhaust system in one of the export compressors.
Produksjonen på Åsgard B ble stengt 15. januar etter et branntilløp i eksosanlegget i en av eksportkompressorene.
Condensate and gas exports from Kristin and Mikkel were subsequently halted, as was all export of gas from Heidrun via the Åsgard Transport line.
Nedstengingen førte til at kondensat- og gasseksport fra Kristin og Mikkel stanset og at all eksport av gass fra Heidrun gjennom Åsgard Transport stoppet.
Statoil's gas customers have not been affected by the production shortfall.
Statoils gasskunder har ikke blitt rammet av produksjonsbortfallet.
Production resumed on the Åsgard B platform in the Norwegian Sea in the early hours of Friday 20 January.
Produksjonen på Åsgard B-plattformen i Norskehavet ble gjenopptatt natt til fredag 20. januar.
“We have decided to continue cooperation with these two main suppliers to ensure good and effective deliveries of maintenance and modifications work to our facilities on the Norwegian continental shelf.
– Vi har valgt å fortsette samarbeidet med disse to hovedleverandørene for å sikre gode og effektive leveranser innen vedlikehold og modifikasjoner på våre anlegg på norsk sokkel.

Hydro has decided to extend its contracts for maintenance and modification work on six of its ten platforms on the Norwegian continental shelf to the companies Vetco Aibel and Aker Kværner.
Hydro har besluttet å forlenge selskapets kontrakter for vedlikeholds- og modifikasjonsarbeider på seks av de 10 plattformene selskapet driver på norsk sokkel til selskapene Vetco Aibel og Aker Kværner.
It costs around NOK 15 million to drill a Statfjord well.
Nedimot 15 millioner kroner koster det å bore en Statfjord-brønn.
With conventional drilling the cost is often three times as much.
Ved konvensjonell boring er prisen ofte tre ganger så høy.
Through-tubing drilling is efficient because it is not necessary to retrieve and re-run the production tubing in the old well.
Tynnhullsboring, eller sidestegsboring gjennom produksjonsrør, er effektivt fordi en slipper å fjerne og reinstallere produksjonsrøret i den gamle brønnen.
This means less time spent and lower material costs.
Dette betyr redusert tidsbruk og lavere materialkostnader.
Statfjord has drilled three such wells.
Statfjord har gjennomført tre tynnhullsboringer.
The latest, A-23B, took 19 days from start-up to the time the well was in production.
Den siste, A-23B, ble gjennomført på 19 dager fra oppstart til brønnen var i produksjon.
Initially, the well produced 5,000 barrels of oil per day, and costs were recovered in 14 days, reports Øystein Arvid Håland, manager for Statfjord resource development.
Brønnen produserte ved oppstart 5000 fat olje i døgnet, og kostnadene var tilbakebetalt på 14 dager, forteller leder for Statfjord ressursutvikling Øystein Arvid Håland.
“For a mature field such as Statfjord it is important to penetrate the reservoir in many places in order to retrieve as much of the residual oil as possible.
"For et modent felt som Statfjord er det viktig med mange dreneringspunkter i reservoaret for å få ut mest mulig av restoljen.
That’s why it’s crucial to reduce the costs per well,” he adds.
Dermed blir det avgjørende å få ned kostnadene per brønn," sier han.
On average, 16 sidetrack wells are drilled on the field annually.
Hvert år bores i gjennomsnitt 16 sidestegsbrønner på feltet.
A third of the production is a result of last year’s drilling and well initiative.
En tredjedel av produksjonen er resultat av siste års bore- og brønntiltak.
The objective is to have 50 identified drilling targets available at all times, says Mr Håland.
Målet er å ha 50 identifiserte boremål tilgjengelige til enhver tid, sier Håland.
The main Statfjord field currently produces 190,000 barrels of oil per day.
Statfjord hovedfelt produserer i dag 190.000 fat olje i døgnet.
Gas production will be decisive for profitable operations and gas will also make it possible to recover more oil.
Gassproduksjon blir avgjørende for lønnsom drift, og gassen vil også gjøre det mulig å få ut mer olje.
New technology and inter-disciplinary cooperation mean that Statoil is now drilling production wells on Statfjord in the North Sea at a fraction of the cost of conventional drilling.
Ny teknologi og tverrfaglig samarbeid gjør at Statoil nå borer produksjonsbrønner på Statfjord i Nordsjøen for en brøkdel av prisen ved konvensjonell boring.

These recruits will learn to be automation technicians, electricians, industrial mechanics, cooks, laboratory technicians and chemical process operatives, with 10 positions as office and materials administrators.
Lærlingene skal utdannes til automatikere, elektrikere, industrimekanikere, kokker, laboranter, operatører i kjemisk prosessindustri og til stillinger innen kontor- og materialadministrasjonsfag.
This year apprentices will also be trained as security guards.
I tillegg skal selskapet også i år ta inn lærlinger i vekterfaget.
Training will be provided at Statoil's Norwegian offices and production facilities on land and offshore.
Opplæringen skal skje ved Statoils kontor- og driftssteder på land og på sokkelen.
"We're maintaining our intake of apprentices at the same level as last year," says Nickey Berg, vice president for learning solutions in corporate human resources.
– Inntaket av lærlinger er på samme nivå som før, sier Nickey Berg, direktør for læreløsninger i Personal og organisasjon (P&O).
According to Ms Berg, predictability is important for this policy.
Berg påpeker at det er viktig med forutsigbarhet i lærlingordningen.
If industry varies its intake substantially from year to year, fewer young people will apply for vocational college courses leading to trade qualifications.
Dersom næringslivet varierer inntaket mye fra år til år, kan det føre til at færre ungdommer søker opptak til faglinjene ved de videregående skolene.
The result could be a shortfall of trainees and skilled workers.
Resultatet kan bli et underskudd på nye lærlinger og fagarbeidere.
It has not been difficult in the past to secure enough qualified apprentices, says Erna Jensen, senior training coordinator in corporate services.
Ifølge Erna Jensen, som er senior opplæringskonsulent i konserntjenester, har det vanligvis ikke vært vanskelig å skaffe nok kvalifiserte lærlinger.
Statoil received 1,078 applications for the 129 places on offer last year.
I fjor mottok selskapet 1078 søknader til de 129 ledige plassene.
Even though the number of applicants is high overall, the group would like to see even more in some disciplines.
Selv om antall søkere totalt sett er stort, er det ønskelig med et større antall søkere i noen fag:
"We hope to get many applicants for the 49 apprenticeships in chemical processing," explains Ms Jensen.
– Vi håper på mange søkere til de 49 lærlingplassene i kjemiprosess.
"We've also had fewer laboratory technician applicants than we'd like in the past.
Tidligere har vi også slitt med å få lærlinger til laboratoriefaget.
This year we'd like to take on 10."
I år vil vi ha inn ti laborantlærlinger, sier Jensen.
Once an apprenticeship has been completed, the qualified worker can apply for internal vacancies in the group.
Etter endt læretid kan lærlingene søke på interne ledige stillinger i Statoil.
Advertisements are currently being placed by Statoil for 107 apprentices to join the parent company on 1 September.
Statoil annonserer i disse dager etter 107 lærlinger som skal begynne å arbeide i morselskapet 1. september i år.
In December 2002 Statoil entered into a joint venture with the Iranian company Petropars, on a 40/60 basis respectively, for the development of the offshore part of the field.
I desember 2002 inngikk Statoil en samarbeidsavtale med det iranske selskapet Petropars, på 40/60-basis, for å bygge ut offshore-delen av feltet.
The operatorship was then transferred from Petropars to Statoil.
Operatørskapet ble da overført fra Petropars til Statoil.
