Aker BP announced an oil and gas discovery in offshore Norway’s Froskelar Main appraisal well #24/9-14 S in license 869 in the Alvheim area. The well has proven oil and gas with the gross resource estimated at 60-130 MMboe.

Potential recoverable reserves at Froskelar Northeast are estimated at 7-23 MMboe. Aker BP is the operator of license 869, Block 24/9, and the Froskelar Main well with 60% interest in partnership with Lundin (20%) and Var Energi (20%).
