The assignment transaction is to be formally approved by the UK Oil & Gas Authority.

Licence P2511 is located to the borderline of the Norwegian continental shelf. Aker BP as operator has several discoveries in the Alvheim area on the Norwegian side, following a successful exploration campaign in 2019.
