Royal Dutch Shell said it had made a “significant discovery” of gas at its Onyx South West prospect in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea.
The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate said the Onyx discovery could approach 60bn standard cubic metres of produceable gas, subject to determining the limits of the deposit.
Shell declined to put any figure on the size of the discovery, but Rien Herber, its exploration director for Europe, said: “There are indications that we are dealing with a significant find.”
