Statoil estimates the total volumes in Valemon North at 20-75 million barrels of recoverable oil equivalent.
The Valemon field, discovered in 1985, is one of Statoil's largest ongoing development projects on the Norwegian continental shelf. The recoverable reserves are estimated at 206 million barrels of oil equivalents.
