On 4 March 2020 the NPD confirmed that Equinor has transferred a 30% interest plus operatorship in PL 828 to Neptune (effective from 31 March 2020). The licence covers most of block 36/4 which lies to the northeast of Neptune's Duva development. A drilling decision for PL 828 is required by May 2020 and it is understood that the Havhest prospect lies within the licence.   Duva is currently under development and is expected onstream in late 2020 / early 2021. The field was discovered in 2016 by 36/7-4 which proved a 50 m gas column plus a 60 m oil column in the Lower Cretaceous Agat Formation and tested gas at a rate of 46 MMcf/d through a 76/64â choke. Duva is being developed using a 4-slot template with two horizontal oil producers and a gas producer tied-back to Gjoa. A further oil producer may be added in the future. Estimated recoverable volumes are 88 MMboe (23 MMbbl of oil and condensate, 12 MMbbl of NGL and 296 Bcfg).  Following completion of the deal, interest in PL 828 is divided between Neptune Energy Norge AS (40% + operator), Sval Energi through Capricorn Norge AS (40%) and Equinor Energy AS (20%).
