STAVANGER, Norway -- The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate (NPD) has granted Revus Energy ASA a drilling permit for wellbore 33/9-21 S.

The production license area consists of a small part of block 33/9, between the Murchison and Statfjord Nord fields. The area was carved out of production license 37 in June 2004. In 2006, appraisal well 33/9-20 was drilled on the 33/9-6 Delta discovery. This well, also drilled from the Murchison facility, was dry, according to the NPD.
