Norway West Barents Sea exploration basin
Report summary
The West Barents Sea Basin is situated in Norway's Barents Sea at latitudes greater than 69° north. Despite the significant volumes discovered, exploration has failed to create double-digit returns due to the difficulties in commercialising discoveries. The build-up of infrastructure has allowed the commercialisation of smaller, tie-back developments. This is a trend which should continue into our outlook period, supporting smaller field sizes. Most exploration to date has focused on the Mesozoic plays on the shelf area of the basin. Acreage in the Southeast Barents was first awarded in 2016 as part of the 23rd Licensing round.
