Vår Energi makes commercial gas-condensate discovery near the Fenja field in the Norwegian Sea

21 Jul 2025 08:18 CEST

Sandnes, Norway, 21 July 2025: Vår Energi (OSE: VAR, the Company) announces a
new commercial gas and condensate discovery in the Vidsyn exploration well,
located close to the Vår Energi-operated Fenja field in the Norwegian Sea. The
discovery is the third commercial discovery for Vår Energi so far in 2025 and
will be evaluated as a potential tie-in to Fenja.

The discovery was made on the Vidsyn ridge, which has the potential to hold up
to 100 million barrels of oil equivalent (mmboe) gross. The Vidsyn well confirms
discovered recoverable resources in the range of 25 to 40 mmboe gross, which are
considered commercial. The remaining potential of the ridge will be assessed
through an appraisal programme, to facilitate for a fast track development.

The well encountered very good quality reservoirs with over 200 metres of
hydrocarbon column. The discovery is located updip of a previous exploration
well, providing a clear framework confirming commerciality and supporting
further evaluation of the broader Vidsyn ridge. The reservoir contains high
quality gas-condensate only eight kilometres from the existing Fenja subsea
infrastructure, which is tied into the Njord host facility.

SVP Exploration, Luca Dragonetti in Vår Energi said:

"Vidsyn is an exciting discovery unlocking a much larger potential along the
ridge in our operated Fenja area and adding high-value barrels to be developed
leveraging existing infrastructure in which Vår Energi holds significant
equity."

The discovery supports the Company's infrastructure-led exploration approach and
strengthens its position in the Norwegian Sea.

Dragonetti added:

"We are actively exploring in this area and are currently maturing new
prospects. The Vidsyn discovery is the consequence of our disciplined and
selective exploration strategy focused on expanding our ability to deliver value
through proximity to existing infrastructure."

The partners in the licence are Vår Energi (operator, 75%) and DNO ASA's wholly
-owned subsidiaries DNO Norge AS (7.5%) and Sval Energi AS (17.5%).
