Det Norske has received consent to drill an exploration well in the Norwegian North Sea.
The company received approval from the Norwegian Petroleum Safety Authority (PSA) for the production licence.
The well will be drilled in a prospect named Rovarkula with drilling expected to begin in July.
The work is expected to last 25 days, depending on whether a discovery is made.
Drilling will be performed by the Maersk Interceptor which is a jack-up drilling facility that was delivered by the Keppel Shipyard in Singapore in 2014.
The facility is owned by Maersk and operated by Maersk Drilling Norge.
