June 28, 2023
OMV announces the approval of its Plan for Development and Operation (PDO) for the Berling gas and condensate discovery by the Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy. The plan was submitted by OMV (Norge) AS to the Norwegian authorities on behalf of the license partners in December last year.
“Berling is one of our key natural gas development projects and is geared to increase the share of natural gas in our portfolio as outlined in OMV’s Strategy 2030. The gas and condensate volumes are expected to further strengthen Norway’s position as an important European supplier of natural gas,” said Berislav Gaso, Executive Vice President for Energy, OMV AG.
The Berling production license area is located about 175 km from Kristiansund in the Northwestern part of Norway, in a mature oil and gas province with established infrastructure. The closest hub is the Equinor-operated Åsgard B platform approximately 23 km to the south-east.
Three production wells will be drilled at the Berling field starting Q3/2026 with expected first gas and condensate production in 2028. The estimated gross recoverable resources are expected to be around a total of 45 mn boe.
The Berling discoveries in production licence 664 (PL 644) area were made 2018. OMV (Norge) AS is the operator for the development and operations with 30% working interest. The license partners are Equinor Energy AS (40%) and DNO Norge AS (30%).
