Longboat JAPEX Norge completes sale of Norwegian stakes

Friday, February 2 2024

Fossil Energy – Norwegian Continental Shelf

Longboat JAPEX Norge has concluded the sale of partial interests in two exploration licences on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS).

The JV between Norway’s Longboat Energy and Japan Petroleum Exploration Co (JAPEX) has offloaded partial stakes in the North Sea area to Norway-based company Concedo.

Longboat JAPEX Norge has reduced its stake in production licence 1182S in the Northern North Sea from 30% to 15%. This licence includes the Kjøttkake/Lotus exploration well, the cost of which will now be fully carried by Concedo. This well is expected to be drilled by the third quarter of 2024.

The JV has also reduced its stake in production licence 1049, which contains the Jasmine and Sjøkreps prospects. In return for lowering its interest from 40% to 25%, Longboat JAPEX Norge will have 15% of its exploration expenditure covered by Concedo, primarily funding seismic costs and new studies.

Longboat JAPEX Norge has also announced today that it has added the first offshore producing assets to its portfolio through the acquisition of a 4.8% unitised interest in the Statfjord Øst field and a 4.32% unitised interest in the Sygna field on the NCS for $12.75m.
