    The two companies said in a joint statement that the oilfield is expected to produce oil for the first time in 2024, with a daily output of 220,000 barrels.


    Arne Sigve Nylund, Executive Vice President of Norwegian Petroleum, said: "It is estimated that the recoverable reserves in the first phase will exceed 1 billion barrels.


    Norwegian Oil said that the break-even cost of the oil field is less than US$35 per barrel, which is about half of the current crude oil market price.
