Norway Central Graben exploration basin
*Please note that this report only includes an Excel data file if this is indicated in "What's included" below
Report summary
The Norwegian Central Graben is a mature basin situated in the Central North Sea, bounded by the Northern North Sea basin to the north, the UK maritime boundary to the west and the Danish border to the south. Much of the exploration in the basin to date has focused on the Jurassic Sandstone and Upper Cretaceous Carbonate plays. However, the Julius (2015) and Othello (2024) discoveries renewed interest in the Jurassic and Paleocene Sandstone plays. We forecast exploration drilling will continue to focus on oil prospects in these plays. However, creating value from exploration in the plays will be limited due to the small prospective volumes.
