Harbour Energy has made a gas and condensate discovery in the Norwegian section of the North Sea, which could be tied back to existing infrastructure, the Norwegian Offshore Directorate said on Friday. The licensees will now consider tying the discovery back to existing infrastructure on the Vega field. Harbour Energy operates the Vega field, which began production in 2010. Earlier this month, the top independent operator offshore Norway, Vår Energi, confirmed an oil discovery very close to its Goliat field in the Barents Sea, the first operating Arctic oilfield offshore Norway. Energy major Equinor has recently announced an oil discovery and a separate gas discovery close to its Johan Castberg oilfield in the Barents Sea and will assess potential tie-ins to the Arctic field which started up earlier this year.
