Spirit Energy and the other licence partners have decided to invest about £260 million to improve recovery from the North Sea Statfjord East field.

The West Mira has started drilling the first of six wells on the Nova field in the Norwegian North Sea.

We’ve been awarded six new licences in the 32nd licencing round – three in the southern North Sea and three in the central North Sea.

York, a Spirit Energy-owned gas field in the Southern North Sea has been given another three years of life with an additional £13million investment.

Spirit Energy is partner in what could be the largest oil discovery on the Norwegian Continental Shelf so far this year.

Production has been boosted from two North Sea fields following successful drilling campaigns - with the new C6 well at Spirit Energy’s Chiswick field in the Southern North Sea and a new production well at the Chestnut field.

Spirit Energy has signed an agreement to divest two non-core Danish assets to INEOS.

Spirit Energy and its partners in the Statfjord area plan to drill up to 100 new wells and extend production by more than 10 years. Previous plans to decommission Statfjord A in 2022 have been shelved to extract even more value from the field.

Spirit Energy will become the Operator of a new Southern North Sea discovery after an encouraging exploration campaign.

Production has been boosted from a North Sea gas field as part of a £68.5 million campaign.
