“We are very pleased with the outcome,” said executive vice president for Exploration in Statoil, Tim Dodson. “The award of the blocks in the Espirito Santo basin is in line with Statoil’s exploration strategy to build on core positions in prolific and proven basins.”
Statoil’s application for exploration licenses in the basin is based on established and new geological play models.
