The fourth Faroese Licensing Round for Hydrocarbon Exploration was officially opened on May 17 2017 and closed on February 17 2018. Jarðfeingi received one application for exploration on the Faroese Continental shelf (see newsletter).
Jarðfeingi has re-interpreted all existing data to get a better understanding of the geological progress of the Faroese area. This new work has been presented at several Exhibitions and Conferences for the last two years. Additionally Jarðfeingi has been the host of two large events in London where oil companies interested in Exploration on the Faroese Continental Shelf where invited.
You are always welcome to contact us for any information regarding future Exploration on the Faroese Continental Shelf (jf@jf.fo).
