     The existence of gas was confirmed in exploration well TNKW-1 in the southern part of the licence.
     <br>
     <br> ”This is an interesting discovery and shows that there is a resource potential in the Hassi Mouina licence”, says Alf Henry Meland, the head of exploration in Algeria.
     <br>
     <br> The Hassi Mouina licence was awarded in June 2004. It includes four blocks within an area of 23 000 square kilometres in the Gourara basin. 30% has now been relinquished to the Algerian government in accordance with the licence agreement.
     <br>
     <br> The area is located in the western part of the Sahara in Algeria, northwest of the In Salah gas field, where StatoilHydro has a&nbsp;31,85 percent interest.
     <br>
     <br> StatoilHydro has a 75 percent interest in Hassi Mouina, whereas the partner Sonatrach has an interest of 25 percent.
