May 22, 2013 - Det norske announced the start of production from the first well in the Jette field on the Norwegian continental shelf. Jette has been developed as a subsea installation tied-back to the nearby Jotun B platform. A second well is expected to be brought into production near the end of May 2013. Det norske estimates the field will flow between 6,000 and 7000 bopd once both wells are on-line.

May 1, 2013 - Production from Apache's 100-percent-owned Tonto oil field in the UK North Sea began April 24, 2013. The Tonto-1 well was brought on stream at an initial rate of 10,346 bopd. Tonto-1 was drilled as a deviated well from the Forties Bravo platform and encountered 62 feet of net oil pay in Eocene sandstone. This was followed by a horizontal completion lateral that logged 243 feet of net oil pay. The Tonto reservoir lies above the Paleocene Forties reservoir and was penetrated several times while drilling Forties development wells. Apache plans to drill an additional development well before the end of 2013.
