该井由“深海烟台”（Deepsea Yantai）钻井平台在Bestla海底基盘上钻探，该基盘于2025年6月初安装完毕。Bestla油田预计可采储量总量为2400万桶油当量，目前正在开发^一条与Brage油田相连的双井海底回接管道，Lime公司拥有Brage油田33.8434%的权益。Brage平台将作为生产、加工和出口的主机设施。预计首批石油将于2027年初产出。

耗资63亿挪威克朗（约合5.71亿美元）的Bestla油田开发和运营规划（PDO）于一年前的2024年4月30日举行的仪式上正式提交给挪威能源部，并于2024年11月19日获得批准。PL740 Bestla开发项目位于北海北部，距离Brage油田以南13公里。OKEA ASA是Bestla和Brage油田的运营商。

Lime首席执行官Lars B. Hübert先生表示：“Bestla油田开发项目在采用标准化解决方案、成熟技术以及与战略合作伙伴的密切合作方面堪称典范。该项目盈亏平衡点约为40美元/桶，高效且经济高效，这对于当前地缘政治形势下油价波动尤为重要。”

PL740 合伙企业由 OKEA ASA（运营商 39.2788%）、DNO Norge AS（39.2788%）、Lime Petroleum AS（17%）和 M Vest Energy AS（4.4424%）组成。

Brage Unit 合伙企业由 OKEA ASA（运营商 35.2%）、Lime Petroleum AS（33.8434%）、DNO Norge AS（14.2567%）、Petrolia Noco AS（12.2575%）和 M Vest Energy AS（4.4424%）组成。

Lime 于 2023 年底通过 Bestla（之前称为 Brasse）开发项目获得了 PL740 17% 的权益；并于 2021 年获得了 Brage 油田 33.8434% 的权益。

The well is being drilled by the rig Deepsea Yantai from the Bestla Subsea Template, which had been installed in early-June 2025. The Bestla Field, estimated to contain 24 million boe gross in recoverable reserves,¹ is being developed as a two-well subsea tie-back to the Brage Field, in which Lime has a 33.8434% interest. The Brage platform will serve as the host facility for production, processing, and export. First oil is expected in early 2027.

The NOK6.3 billion (approximately US$571 million) Plan for Development and Operation (PDO) for the Bestla Field was officially submitted to the Norway Ministry of Energy in a ceremony held a year ago on 30 April 2024 and was approved on 19 November 2024. The PL740 Bestla development is located in the northern North Sea, 13 km south of the Brage Field. OKEA ASA is the operator for both the Bestla and Brage Fields.

Mr Lars B. Hübert, Chief Executive Officer of Lime, said, “The Bestla development is exemplary in the use of standard solutions, well-proven technology, and close cooperation with strategic partners. With a project breakeven at around US$40/bbl, the development is an efficient and cost-effective one, which is all the more important against volatility in oil prices amid the current geo-political situation.”

The PL740 partnership consists of OKEA ASA (operator 39.2788%), DNO Norge AS (39.2788%), Lime Petroleum AS (17%), and M Vest Energy AS (4.4424%).

The Brage Unit partnership consists of OKEA ASA (operator 35.2%), Lime Petroleum AS (33.8434%), DNO Norge AS (14.2567%), Petrolia Noco AS (12.2575%), and M Vest Energy AS (4.4424%).

Lime farmed in for a 17% interest in PL740 with the Bestla (previously known as Brasse) development in late 2023; and acquired a 33.8434% interest in the Brage Field in 2021.
