document: On 2 March 2020 Spirit Energy announced the proposed divestment of three licences containing the Hejre and Solsort fields to INEOS. The deal is subject to governmental approval and on 4 August 2020 INEOS confirmed that the deal is expected to close within the year. The HPHT Hejre discovery is in the 5/98 licence (blocks: 5603/24a, 5603/28b, 5604/21b and 5604/25b), which INEOS will hold 100% interest in after it acquires the 15% and 25% interest from Spirit Energy Danmark ApS and Spirit Energy Petroleum Danmark AS. The Solsort discovery is in the 4/98 and 3/09 licences (blocks: 5604/25d, 5604/26a, 5604/29a, 5604/30d, 5604/26a Solsort and 5604/30a Solsort), which INEOS will acquire 30% interest in from Spirit Energy Danmark ApS. The southeast section of the Solsort discovery extends into the neighbouring 7/89 South Arne licence which is operated by Hess. INEOS is evaluating the possible development scenarios for Solsort field with the concept select decisions expected in 2021. INEOS announced the Hejre development concept in June 2020.  The Hejre HPHT (1,011 bar and 160 degrees Celsius) oil and gas discovery was made in 2001 by the Hejre-1 well and appraised in 2004 by Hejre-2. The reservoir is in the Upper Jurassic Heno Formation at approximately 5,200 m. The previous operator (DONG) commenced development work on the field using contractors Technip France SAS, partnered by Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering Co. Ltd (DSME)Â for the engineering, procurement, fabrication, hook-up and commissioning assistance of theÂ HejreÂ wellhead and processing platform. A 8000-tonne jacket was installed in 2014 and five development wells were drilled between and March 2016. The field development ceased in 2016 when DONG terminated the contract for the platform after a dispute with the contractor over delays in the topside and platform. In September 2017 INEOS acquired DONG Energy and took over its 60% interest in the licence and in December 2017 Spirit Energy was formed from the merger of Centrica and Bayern Norge AS to take 40% interest in the licence.  The Solsort oil and gas field was discovered by Solsort 1 (6504/26-5) in 2010, the TD was at 3,041 m TVDSS and three sidetracks were drilled with a reach of up to 1.5 km. In 2013 the discovery was successfully appraised by Solsort 2 (5604/26-6) which tested oil and associated gas from the Paleocene Rogaland Group sandstone. Two sidetracks were drilled from Solsort 2 but both were dry.

The deal is subject to governmental approval and INEOS confirmed that the deal is expected to close within the year. After completion, INEOS will hold 100% interest in all licences.
