Wintershall Norge is the operator with an ownership interest of 40%. The other licensees are Origo Exploration Norway (20%) and Petoro (40%). The area in this licence consists of a part of block 35/11.

The well will be drilled about 100km southwest of Florø and about 20km northwest of the Fram field.
