M Vest Energy has exited Norwegian Sea PL796 assigning its 20% to Equinor effective 29 June 2018. PL796 covers 253 sq km over blocks 6407/2, 3, 5 & 6, and surrounds the Mikkel Field. The PL796 acreage contains dry well 6407/3-1 S (2011, Statoil) in the N, and the non commercial Cortina gas discovery well 6407/5-2 S (2011, OMV) in Jurassic Rogn, Melke and Garn formations in the SW. It was awarded on 6 February 2015 in APA 2014 with a drill or drop option which was confirmed in February 2018. The enclosed Mikkel Field is licensed via PL121 (Equinor Op), came online in August 2003 and produces gas and condensate from Jurassic sandstones in the Garn, Ile and Tofte formations. M Vest Energy entered PL796 and six other licences when it acquired Atlantic Petroleum's Norwegian subsidiary on 22 January 2017. Revised PL796 partners are Equinor Energy AS (60% + Op), EDF subsidiary Edison Norge AS (20%) and Point Resources AS (20%). 
Equinor (->60% op, Edison 20%, Point Res. 20%) has acquired 20% interest in PL 796 from M Vest (->0%)
