In 2005 it bought five licences from Talisman Energy, including 5% of the operational Varg field. By 2007 it had acquired seven operatorships and six partnerships on the Norwegian continental shelf. In 2007 it announced that it would merge with the Norwegian operating subsidiary of DNO. The new company will be named Det norske Oljeselskap.
