Rex International Holding Ltd, together with its subsidiaries, has announced that a discovery has been made in the “Knockando Fensfjord” prospect in the Brage Field, in which Rex’s indirect subsidiary Lime Petroleum AS (“Lime”) has a 33.8434%
interest.
According to the Norwegian Offshore Directorate in a press release dated 28 January 2026,
preliminary estimates indicate additional resources for Brage of between 0.5 and 1.5 million
m3 of recoverable oil equivalent (o.e.) if the discovery is oil. If it is gas,
the preliminary volume estimate is between 0.4 and 0.9 million m3 of o.e. The well was drilled
from the Brage installation, and the discovery was made in connection with drilling of the
Talisker development well, which started production on 11 January 2026.
This development well was drilled through the Lower Fensfjord Formation of Late Jurassic age
in the Knockando prospect area on its way to the Talisker development area. A 38.5 m
column of hydrocarbons was proven in an interval of multiple sandstone layers with moderate
to good reservoir quality. The petroleum/water contact was not encountered.
The Talisker A-15D development wellbore was drilled to respective measured and vertical
depths of 10 009 m and 2309 m below sea level, and was terminated in the Oseberg
Formation of Middle Jurassic age.
The Brage Field partners are now considering opportunities for developing "Knockando
Fensfjord".
The Brage Unit partnership comprises OKEA ASA (operator, 35.2%), Lime (33.8434%), DNO Norge AS (14.2567%), Petrolia NOCO AS (12.2575%), and M Vest
Energy AS (4.4424%).

In the oil and gas sector, the management of hydrogen sulphide (H2S) is a perpetual balancing act. For years, MEA-triazine has been the industry workhorse – efficient, cost-effective, and generally well-understood. However, as operators push for greater efficiency and contend with varying production environments, the chemical landscape has shifted. The reliance on standard MEA-triazine has evolved into a more complex mix of chemistries, including methylamine (MMA-triazine) and monoisopropanolamine (MBO) formulations.
