据国外媒体6月5日奥斯陆报道，挪威国家石油公司本月初同意收购JX新日本石油和能源公司在英国乌特加德凝析气田许可证中持有的45%股份并担任该许可证的作业者。
在完成这笔交易以后，挪国油在英国P312许可证中持有的股份将增加到100%。挪国油在去年10月份从First Oil公司以及去年12月从塔利斯曼中石化公司收购了英国P312许可证的股份。
拥有62%股份的挪国油还担任挪威大陆架PL046许可证的作业者。
以前称为Alfa Sentral的乌特加德是一个凝析气田，它横跨英国和挪威的海上中间线，这个气田计划通过与位于挪威大陆架上的由挪国油担任作业者的Sleipner气田现有设施连接来开发。
乌特加德气田的最后投资决定计划在今年年底前作出，而生产将在2020年启动。

Oslo
On 1 June 2016, Statoil agreed to acquire JX Nippon’s 45% equity share in, and operatorship of, the UK licence for the Utgard field.
On conclusion of this transaction Statoil will increase its holding in UK licence P312 to 100%, having previously acquired stakes from First Oil in October 2015 and Talisman SinOPEC in December 2015. Statoil is the operator in NCS licence PL046 with a 62% holding.
Utgard, previously known as Alfa Sentral, is a gas and condensate field spanning the UK-Norway median line. It is planned to be developed as a tie-back to existing infrastructure on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) for Sleipner, which Statoil operates.
A final investment decision for Utgard is planned before end-2016 with production start-up in 2020.
