Statoil is sitting on a pile of new assets today after winning 26 new leases in the US Central Gulf of Mexico in the first bid round for two years.

Statoil has won the licences as the highest bidder in the least round which has just ended – the first since March 2010 and the first since the Macondo oil spill in April that year.

The US Bureau of Ocean Energy Management (BOEM) held the lease round and it should take up to three months for the new leases to be finally approved by BOEM. 

Currently Statoil has eight new field developments on the way in the US Gulf and six producing fields in its US portfolio. The new awards leaves Statoil in control of over 350 US Gulf leases.

Erik Finnstrom, Statoil's senior vice president for Exploration in the US says the additional leases will the company to build it position in the US Gulf.

 “The lease additions underscore our commitment to increased investment in North America, which we see as a core region for long-term growth,” Finnstrom indicates. “Our strategy involves acquiring prospects across a full range of plays – from those at the frontier level to very mature, drill-ready plays,” he underlines.
