PGNiG buys stake in Norwegian deposit

WSE-listed gas producer PGNiG purchased a 35 percent stake in the Storklakken deposit on the Norwegian continental shelf from Aker BP, PGNiG said in a market filing, without specifying the price. Aker will retain the remaining 65 percent shares. PGNiG share in the PL460 concession on the North Sea is estimated at 3.85 million barrel of oil equivalent. Storklakken PL460 neighbors the Vilje concession in which PGNiG has a 24 percent stake.
