Gisera examines Hydraulic Fracturing Impacts on Air Quality, Soils, Groundwater and Waterways

A comprehensive three-year scientific study into the air, water and soil impacts of hydraulic fracturing in Queensland has found little to no impacts on air quality, soils, groundwater and waterways.

The study also found current water treatment technology used for treating water produced from coal seam gas wells is effective in removing hydraulic fracturing chemicals and naturally occurring (geogenic) chemicals to within relevant water quality guidelines.

Wintershall Dea makes Discovery in Norwegian Sea


  • Bergknapp oil discovery with resource estimate between 26–97 million boe
  • Appraisal measures and development options being considered

Wintershall Dea, Europe’s leading independent gas and oil company, has made an oil discovery at the own-operated Bergknapp prospect in the Norwegian Sea, close to the Maria field. The well, drilled by the Scarabeo 8 drilling rig, encountered an oil column of at least 60 m in the Garn Formation and an oil column of at least 120 m in the Tilje Formation, with reservoir qualities ranging from poor to good. Initial recoverable resource estimates put the discovery at between 26 and 97 million barrels of oil equivalent. The license partnership will now initiate studies, investigate potential appraisal measures and development options for the discovery.

“This exciting discovery near existing infrastructure confirms the untapped potential of Norway as a core area for exploration, development and production now and in the future,” said Hugo Dijkgraaf, Wintershall Dea Chief Technology Officer and responsible Executive Board member for global exploration. “As a global company, Wintershall Dea is committed to Norway and to developing new fields like the Bergknapp discovery on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.”

Strategic exploration approach

With Maria and Dvalin Wintershall Dea already has fields in production and development in the area around Bergknapp. Exploring around existing infrastructure is part of Wintershall Dea’s strategy for Norway. Together with its partners, the company will consider future development options for the Bergknapp discovery taking into account the current market environment.

“The Norwegian Sea is a key area for Wintershall Dea Norge. Apart from our other Haltenbanken assets, we are also a key operator in the Vøring basin and have licenses in other areas of the Norwegian Sea. With our investment on the shelf, we are exploring and developing new fields, while also supporting our existing fields and infrastructure,” said Alv Solheim, Wintershall Dea Norge Managing Director.

Wintershall Dea is operator of the discovery in PL 836S with a 40% share. License partners are Spirit Energy Norway AS (30%) and DNO Norge AS (30%). The well will be temporarily suspended, while a future production test is being considered.

Wintershall Dea and Bergknapp

Wintershall Dea has been active on the Norwegian Continental Shelf for more than 45 years and is now Norway’s third biggest gas producer. Today the company has more than 100 licences – around a third of them as operator – and a production volume of 146,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (2019). In the latest APA licence award in early 2020, Wintershall Dea was awarded nine additional new licences (three as operator) underpinning that Norway is one of its areas for growth.

About Bergknapp:

  • Production Licence: PL 836S
  • Norwegian Sea
  • Distance to Maria field: 8 km
  • Distance to shore (Kristiansund): 185 km
  • Water depth: 312 m below sea level
  • Partnership: Wintershall Dea (operator, 40%), Spirit Energy Norway AS (30%), DNO Norge AS (30%)

Mineral oil-free Hydraulic Fluids proving a national and international Success

Current developments pose a risk to our supply chains. Climate change, environment protection and occupational safety are increasingly taking centre stage. This paper presents one potential solution where mineral oil-based media can be replaced by water-based polymer fluids in hydraulic systems. This is one fairly simple way in which companies can contribute to workplace safety, environmental conservation and resource security....

Environmental Social Governance (ESG) – the Future in MiningEnvironmental Social Governance (ESG) – the Future in Mining

A raw materials turnaround in the sense of uniformly higher international standards in terms of environmental protection, social and technological development (Environmental Social Governance) (ESG) will become the future guideline in mining. The most urgent task for the coming years is to implement both issues, raw material security and ESG conformity, at the same time. This requires above all investments in the exploration, production, processing and refining of raw materials. In addition, technical innovations are needed to expand existing mining capacities and make them as ESG-compliant as possible. At bauma 2022, technological solutions and specialist expertise will be presented....
