	6/13/2011 - NORWAY APPROVES VISUND SOUTH PDO
The Norwegian Ministry of Petroleum and Energy approved the plan for development and operation for Statoil’s Visund South. Production is planned to start up in Q3 2012. A subsea template is already on its way out to the field. Visund South, which is located 10 km from both the Gullfaks C and Visund A platforms in the North Sea, is a subsea development consisting of a template with four slots, from which three wells will be drilled and tied to Gullfaks C for processing. During the course of June everything will set for the installation of the seabed template, so that the project can commence drilling in August. Visund South will be installed on the field in conjunction with the Marulk development, which Statoil is carrying out now on behalf of operator Eni.
