APA 2009 - Awards
TFO 2009 – tilbud om andeler
The Government has decided to offer 38 production licenses in the awards in predefined areas 2009 (APA 2009).
Regjeringen har vedtatt å tilby 38 utvinningstillatelser i forbindelse med tildeling i forhåndsdefinerte områder 2009 (TFO 2009).
- Today I am offering production licenses to 42 companies of which 19 companies are offered operatorships.
- Jeg sender i dag ut tilbud om andeler til 42 selskaper hvorav 19 selskaper får tilbud om operatørskap.
APA 2009 is the seventh licensing round with focus on mature areas on the whole shelf.
TFO 2009 er den syvende konsesjonsrunden med fokus på modne områder på hele sokkelen.
The industry’s continuing interest for these areas indicates that the annual licensing rounds in mature areas work in accordance with the purpose of an efficient exploration of the mature areas.
Det at industrien fortsatt er interessert i disse områdene, viser at de årlige konsesjonsrundene i modne områder fungerer i henhold til formålet med å stimulere til en mer effektiv utforskning av de modne områdene.
Offers are given to large, medium-sized and small companies.
Tilbud om andeler omfatter både store, mellomstore og små selskaper.
This illustrate the diversity of companies on the Norwegian continental shelf, says Minister of Petroleum and Energy Terje Riis-Johansen.
Dette illustrerer meget godt mangfoldet på norsk sokkel, sier olje- og energiminister Terje Riis-Johansen.
The 38 production licenses are distributed among the North Sea (25), the Norwegian Sea (10) and the Barents Sea (3).
De 38 utvinningstillatelsene fordeler seg på Nordsjøen (25), Norskehavet (10) og Barentshavet (3).
A total of 44 companies applied for production licenses in APA 2009.
Totalt 44 selskaper søkte på utvinningstillatelser i TFO 2009.
The APA licensing rounds takes place in mature areas of the Norwegian continental shelf.
TFO-konsesjonsrundene finner sted i modne områder på norsk sokkel.
Mature areas are the most explored areas on the shelf and have known geology.
Modne områder er de mest utforskede områdene på sokkelen og har kjent geologi.
The main challenge in mature areas is that the expected sizes of discoveries are declining.
Utfordringene i modne områder er særlig knyttet til at den forventede funnstørrelsen går ned.
Small discoveries can often not justify a standalone development, but can be profitable with a tie-in.
Små funn kan ofte ikke rettferdiggjøre en selvstendig utbygging, men kan ha meget god lønnsomhet når de kan utnytte prosesseringsutstyr og transportsystemer som allerede er bygget ut.
It is therefore important to discover and develop resources in these areas before existing infrastructure in connection to other fields is shut down.
Det er derfor viktig å påvise og utnytte nye ressurser før eksisterende infrastruktur i tilknytning til andre felt stenges ned.
