Wintershall Dea 近年来一直是一位活跃且成功的勘探者，自 2019 年以来参与了 19 项发现。其中大部分是在前几轮 APA 中授予许可证的结果。

“每年的 APA 许可轮次对于我们在挪威大陆架的持续增长和投资至关重要。就我们运营的油田而言，过去两年我们已经开始生产Dvalin和Nova，未来几年我们将开始生产Dvalin North和Maria Phase 2。大多数这些进展都是从我们通过前几轮 APA 获得许可开始的。油田的持续开发确保我们能够向欧洲，特别是德国供应急需的天然气，挪威是 2023 年最重要的天然气供应国。”挪威董事总经理 Michael Zechner Wintershall Dea Norge 说道。

许可授予划分如下：

北海有 3 个（1 个作为操作员），挪威海有 10 个（4 个作为操作员）。其中九项是新许可证，四项是现有许可证的区域扩展。

获得的许可证均位于核心区域，支持 Wintershall Dea 投资现有基础设施附近勘探的战略。

“在我们开展业务的成熟地区进行勘探意味着我们已经熟悉地质情况，从而最大限度地提高发现的机会。与此同时，靠近现有资产意味着数量较少的发现仍然可以进行商业开发，因为它们利用了现有的基础设施，”Wintershall Dea Norge 勘探副总裁 Roy Davies 表示。

挪威海项目位于 Vasering 盆地和 Haltenbanken 地区，其中 Wintershall Dea 在该盆地拥有 Aasta Hansteen 油田的股份，而 Haltenbanken 地区则拥有 Maria 和 Dvalin 油田的运营商。在北海，这些合同位于 Q35 地区，靠近 Wintershall Dea 运营的 Nova 和 Vega 油田，以及 Tampen 地区，靠近 Wintershall Dea 合作伙伴的 Snorre 油田。

Wintershall Dea has been an active and successful explorer in recent years, participating in 19 discoveries since 2019. Most of these are the result of licences awarded in previous APA rounds.

“The annual APA licensing rounds are crucial for our continued growth and investment on the Norwegian Continental Shelf. In terms of our operated fields, in the last two years we have begun production on Dvalin and Nova, and we will start production on Dvalin North and Maria Phase 2 in the coming years. Most of these developments began with our gaining of licences through awards in previous APA rounds. The continued development of fields ensures that we can supply much needed gas to Europe and especially Germany, where Norway was the most important gas supplier in 2023,” said Michael Zechner Wintershall Dea Norge Managing Director.

The licence awards are divided as follows:

Three in the North Sea (one as operator) and ten in the Norwegian Sea (four as operator). Nine of the awards are new licences, and four are area extensions to existing licences.

The awarded licences are all located in core areas, supporting Wintershall Dea’s strategy of investing in exploration near existing owned infrastructure.

“Exploring in mature areas where we have a presence means we are already familiar with the geology, thus maximising our chances of making a discovery. Meanwhile, proximity to existing assets means discoveries with lower volumes can still be commercially developed, since they tap into existing infrastructure,” said Roy Davies, Wintershall Dea Norge Vice President for Exploration.

The Norwegian Sea awards are located in the Vøring Basin, where Wintershall Dea has a stake in the Aasta Hansteen field, and the Haltenbanken area, where Wintershall Dea is the operator of the Maria and Dvalin fields. In the North Sea, the awards are located in the Q35 area, close to the Wintershall Dea operated Nova and Vega fields, and the Tampen area close to the Snorre field where Wintershall Dea is a partner.
