In August, North Energy entered into an agreement with Talisman Energy Norge AS to acquire a 11% share in PL 341 Stirby license located in the North Sea, northeast of Brea. Results are expected during November.
CEO, Erik Karlstrøm, states; "North Energy's core areas for exploration are the Norwegian Sea and the Barents Sea, but the company will participate actively in acquisitions, swaps and divestments of licenses in the North Sea where it contributes positively to the license portfolio and is commercially attractive."
