The Ministry of Energy has officially announced the opening of the 2024 Awards in Predefined Areas (APA) licensing round. This annual program grants production licenses for oil and gas exploration and development on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS).
Applicants are encouraged to submit in good time before the deadline.
This year’s APA round expands the NCS by offering a total of 37 new exploration blocks. Three blocks lie in the northwest of the Norwegian Sea. While the remaining 34 lie in the eastern Barents Sea.
These new areas hold immense potential for further exploration and resource development.
APA licensing proposals involve some of the most complex proposal writing in the world. Almost as complex as extracting the oil itself. Here’s what makes them so complex:
It takes a highly efficient internal process to meet application demands. That’s where XaitPorter comes in; the number one application co-authoring and automation software in Norway.
How does this efficiency help oil and gas businesses seeking APA licenses? 100% of the APA 2022 operator licenses went to XaitPorter clients.
Applicants can access comprehensive information and application guidelines on the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate’s website.
