Equinor ASA (EQNR.OS) said Thursday that Norway's Ministry of Petroleum and Energy has approved its 19 billion Norwegian kroner ($2.3 billion) development and operation plan for the Snorre expansion project in the North Sea.

The investments will increase recovery from the Snorre field by almost 200 million barrels and extend the field life beyond 2040, it said.

The field was discovered in 1979, came on stream in 1992, and was originally estimated to last until 2011-2014. Up to now, the field has produced 1.4 billion barrels of oil.
