New Discovery In Brage Field, Norway

Lime Petroleum AS (“Lime”) is pleased to share that a discovery has been made in the “Knockando Fensfjord” prospect in the Brage Field, in which it has a 33.8434 per cent interest.

 

According to the Norwegian Offshore Directorate in a press release dated 28 January 2026, preliminary estimates indicate additional resources for Brage of between 0.5 and 1.5 million standard cubic metres (Sm3) of recoverable oil equivalent (o.e.) if the discovery is oil. If it is gas, the preliminary volume estimate is between 0.4 and 0.9 million Sm3 of o.e.. The well was drilled from the Brage installation, and the discovery was made in connection with drilling of the Talisker development well, which started production on 11 January 2026.

 

This development well was drilled through the Lower Fensfjord Formation of Late Jurassic age in the Knockando prospect area on its way to the Talisker development area. A 38.5-metre column of hydrocarbons was proven in an interval of multiple sandstone layers with moderate to good reservoir quality. The petroleum/water contact was not encountered.

 

The Talisker A-15D development wellbore was drilled to respective measured and vertical depths of 10,009 metres and 2,309 metres below sea level, and was terminated in the Oseberg Formation of Middle Jurassic age. 

 

The Brage Field partners are now considering opportunities for developing "Knockando Fensfjord".

 

The Brage Unit partnership comprises OKEA ASA (operator, 35.2 per cent), Lime (33.8434 per cent), DNO Norge AS (14.2567 per cent), Petrolia NOCO AS (12.2575 per cent), and M Vest Energy AS (4.4424 per cent).


About the Brage Field

According to the Norwegian Offshore Directorate, the Brage Field is located in the northern part of the North Sea, 10 kilometres east of the Oseberg Field. The Brage Field was proven in 1980, and the plan for development and operation (PDO) was approved in 1990. Production started in 1993. The Brage Field is developed with an integrated production, drilling and living quarters facility with a steel jacket. The field has been in production for a long time, and work is under way to identify new methods to improve recovery. New wells are being drilled, often combined with investigation of nearby prospects. Several discoveries have been made in the Brage area in recent years; such as the Talisker and Prince discoveries.
