APA 2007 – Wide interest for exploration on the Norwegian continental shelf
TFO 2007 – stor interesse for å lete på norsk sokkel
Publisher Ministry of Petroleum and Energy
Utgiver: Olje- og energidepartementet
Although most of these areas have been available for exploration for several years, the steady high number of applications the recent years demonstrates that the industry sees opportunities in the APA areas.
Selv om de fleste av disse områdene har vært tilgjengelig for leting over flere år, viser den store søknadsmengden de senere år at industrien fortsatt ser gode muligheter i TFO-områdene.
The range of applicants is wide, from the large established international companies to companies recently prequalified as licensees for the Norwegian continental shelf.
Søknadsbildet spenner vidt, fra de store, etablerte internasjonale selskapene til selskaper som nylig er blitt prekvalifisert som rettighetshavere på norsk sokkel.
- The APA system enables many small companies to quickly establish a business position at the NCS.
- TFO-systemet gir mulighet for små selskaper til å etablere seg raskt som rettighetshavere på norsk sokkel.
The Government announced the APA 2007 on 29 January 2007.
Regjeringen lyste ut TFO 2007 29. januar 2007.
Here a map of the announced areas is to be found.
Her finnes også kart over de utlyste områdene.
Press release from 29 January 2006
Pressemelding fra 29. januar 2007
*Background:
*Bakgrunn
In 2003 the Government introduced the system of Awards in Predefined Areas (APA) in mature parts of the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS).
I 2003 introduserte regjeringen ordningen med Tildeling i forhåndsdefinerte områder (TFO) i modne deler av norsk sokkel.
This system replaced the annual North Sea Awards.
Ordningen erstattet de årlige Nordsjøtildelingene.
Today the predefined areas comprises of acreage in the North Sea, the Norwegian Sea and the Barents Sea.
De forhåndsdefinerte områdene omfatter i dag areal i Nordsjøen, Norskehavet og i Barentshavet.
The APA-system ensures that very large areas close to existing and planned infrastructure are available for the industry in the years to come.
TFO-systemet sikrer at meget store areal nær eksisterende og planlagt infrastruktur er tilgjengelig for industrien i årene som kommer.
This will contribute to efficient use of production and transportation installations on the NCS.
Dette skal bidra til god kapasitetsutnyttelse av produksjons- og transportinnretninger på sokkelen.
The APA-system gives new and smaller players on the NCS opportunities to build up their exploration portfolio.
Ordningen gir gode muligheter for nye og mindre aktører på norsk sokkel.
The APA area shall be expanded as new areas mature, but the area shall not be reduced.
TFO-området skal utvides med nye blokker etter hvert som nye områder modnes for petroleumsaktivitet, men området skal ikke innskrenkes.
Announced blocks or parts of blocks in the APA-rounds: 2003 – 143 blocks 2004 – 151 blocks 2005 – 192 blocks 2006 – 200 blocks 2007 – 197 blocks
