As quoted in a news report from Bloomberg:
Statoil estimates the discovery to hold 40 million to 150 million recoverable barrels of oil equivalent at a shallower level than existing Brent deposits in the license, it said in a statement today. While the estimates are still uncertain, a well test indicates good flow rates, Statoil said.
