3/7-8 S (Trym Sør)
3/7-8 S (Trym Sør) is a discovery in the North Sea straddling the sector boundary between Norway and Denmark, less than two kilometres south of the Trym field. The water depth is 65 metres. Trym Sør was proven in 2013. The reservoir contains oil and gas in sandstone of Jurassic age in the Bryne and Sandnes Formations. Trym Sør will be developed with a well drilled from the subsea template on the Trym field.

30/2-5 S (Atlantis)
30/2-5 S (Atlantis) is a discovery in the northern North Sea, 35 kilometres southeast of the Gullfaks field. The water depth is 140 metres. Atlantis was proven in 2020. The reservoirs contain gas and condensate in Middle Jurassic sandstone of the Brent Group. Various development solutions are under evaluation, and the likely solution is a tie-back to the Kvitebjørn or Oseberg fields.

34/6-2 S (Garantiana)
34/6-2 S (Garantiana) is a discovery in the northern North Sea, 15 kilometres north of the Visund field. The water depth is 380 metres. The discovery was proven in 2012 and delineated in 2014. The reservoir contains oil in sandstone of Early Jurassic age in the Cook Formation. A new discovery was made in a separate structure just west of Garantiana in 2021, and further exploration in the area is expected.

35/10-10 S (Carmen)
35/10-10 S (Carmen) is a discovery in the northern North Sea, 25 kilometres northwest of the Troll field. The water depth is 360 metres. Carmen was proven and delineated in 2023. The reservoir contains gas and condensate in sandstone of Early Jurassic age in the Cook Formation and of Middle Jurassic age in the Oseberg, Etive and Ness Formations.

6407/7-8 (Noatun)
6407/7-8 (Noatun) is a discovery in the central part of the Norwegian Sea, 18 kilometres north of the Njord field. The water depth is 300 metres. The discovery was proven and delineated in 2008. The reservoir contains gas and condensate in the Åre, Tilje and Tofte Formations of Early to Middle Jurassic age. The reservoir quality varies. A joint development together with the discovery 6407/7-9 S as a tie-in to the Njord A facility is under consideration.

6407/7-9 S
6407/7-9 S is a discovery in the central part of the Norwegian Sea, 6 kilometres north of the Njord field. The water depth is 320 metres. The discovery was proven in 2016. The reservoir contains oil, condensate and gas in the in the Åre, Tilje and Tofte Formations of Early to Middle Jurassic age, and the reservoir quality varies. A joint development together with the discovery 6407/7-8 (Noatun) as a tie-in to the Njord A facility is under consideration.

6507/5-9 S (Shrek)
6507/5-9 S (Shrek) is a discovery in the Norwegian Sea, five kilometres southeast of the Skarv field. The water depth is 360 metres. Shrek was proven and delineated in 2019. The reservoir contains oil and gas in Middle Jurassic sandstone in the Fangst Group and in the Early Jurassic Båt Group. The discovery is planned to be developed as a tie-back to the Skarv field. The plan for development and operation (PDO) is expected to be submitted in 2025.

7120/12-2 (Alke Sør)
7120/12-2 (Alke Sør) is a discovery in the southern Barents Sea, about 50 kilometres south of the Snøhvit field and 55 kilometres southwest of the Goliat field. The water depth is 160 metres. Alke Sør was proven in 1981. The reservoirs contain gas and condensate in sandstone of Late Triassic and Jurassic age in the Snadd and Stø Formations, at a depth of 1900 metres. Third-party access to processing capacity at the Melkøya onshore facility will most likely not be available before around 2040. Alternative development scenarios are therefore being considered, including possible transportation of the gas in a new export pipeline or increased LNG capacity at Melkøya.

7220/11-1 (Alta)
7220/11-1 (Alta) is a discovery in the southern Barents Sea, approximately 60 kilometres south of the Johan Castberg field. The water depth is 380 metres. Alta was proven in 2014 and delineated by several wells between 2015 to 2018. The reservoir contains oil and gas in carbonates of Late Carboniferous/Early Permian age in the Gipsdalen Group, at a depth of 1900 metres. Alternative development solutions, including tie-back to Goliat or Johan Castberg, are under evaluation.

7324/8-1 (Wisting)
7324/8-1 (Wisting) is a discovery in the Barents Sea, 300 kilometres off the northern coast of Norway. The water depth is 400 metres. The discovery was proven in 2013, and subsequently delineated by wells 7324/7-3 S and 7324/8-3 in 2016 and 2017, respectively. The reservoirs contain oil in sandstone of Early Jurassic age in the Nordmela and Stø Formations and of Late Triassic age in the Fruholmen Formation. The reservoirs are shallow, and the Nordmela and Stø Formations have good reservoir properties. The discovery will most likely be developed as a stand-alone installation.
