North Sea exploration
In the Awards in Predefined Areas 2006, GDF SUEZ E&P Norge was granted its first exploration operatorship in PL423S.

The license covers parts of blocks 35/4 and 34/6 and GDF SUEZ E&P Norge holds an equity of 30%. This license is located in an area where GDF SUEZ E&P Norge already has a strong focus on exploration, due to our interest at Gjøa and Fram.
In 2007 a 3D seismic survey was acquired over part of the license without any HSE incidents.
Through APA 2007 we also acquired 30% equity in PL153B.
In 2010 GDF SUEZ E&P Norge was awarded 15% equity in PL090E, 30% equity and operatorship in PL423BS and 10% in PL547S through APA 2009, and through APA 2010 we were awarded a 20% equity in PL377BS and 30% equity in PL578 north of the Gjøa field.
GDF SUEZ E&P Norge also holds 20% in PL377S where the Apollon prospect was drilled in 2011.
