據OE網站3月14日報道，挪威油氣巨頭Equinor在其位于挪威近海北海的Troll油田附近發現了石油和天然氣。

該公司表示，這是其自2019年以來在該地區的第八次發現。

據Equinor稱，發現的石油量估計在2400萬至8400萬桶石油當量之間，石油比天然氣略多。

這口被命名為Heisenberg的發現井是由Odfjell Drilling的深海斯塔萬格半潛式鉆機鉆探的。

Equinor是運營商，DNO是合作伙伴。

Equinor表示，這一發現被認為具有商業意義，部分原因是其可以利用與Troll B平臺相連的現有基礎設施。

然而，在確定是否可以開采之前，還需要一口評估井來更精確地估計其規模。

Equinor和DNO正在考慮在2024年鉆探評估井。

正式命名為35/10-9的該井，鉆至垂直深度為海平面以下1779米，實測深度為1809米?，F場水深368米。

Equinor西部勘探和生產高級副總裁Geir S?rtveit表示：“我們的Troll勘探項目一直在不斷交付。隨著九口探井中的八口的發現，我們的成功率接近90%。我們計劃進一步勘探該地區，同時為已發現的發現尋找可能的開發解決方案。我們在該地區擁有良好的基礎設施，可以迅速將具有競爭力的原油以低成本和低二氧化碳排放推向市場?！?/p>

之前的7個發現分別是：Echino South、Swisher、R?ver North、Blasto、Toppand、Kveikje和R?ver South。

Equinor計劃未來每年鉆探20至30口勘探井。Equinor表示，約80%的勘探井將在靠近基礎設施的已知區域鉆探，但將測試新的選定區域和想法。

曾用于鉆探Heisenberg井的深海斯塔萬格鉆機，現將在Equinor運營的挪威海255B生產許可區中鉆探6406/5-2號初探井。

Equinor Makes 'Commercially Interesting' Offshore Oil and Gas Discovery in Norway

Norwegian oil and gas firm Equinor has made an oil and gas discovery near its Troll field in the North Sea, offshore Norway.

The company said this was its eighth discovery in the area since 2019.

According to Equinor, the volumes discovered are estimated at between 24 and 84 million barrels of oil equivalent, with slightly more oil than gas.

Named Heisenberg, the discovery well was drilled by Odfjell Drilling's Deepsea Stavanger semi-submersible drilling rig.

Equinor is the operator, and DNO is a partner.

"The discovery is considered commercially interesting, partly because it can utilize existing infrastructure connected to the Troll B platform," Equinor said.

However, an appraisal well is needed to get a more precise estimate of

the size before it can be concluded whether the volumes can be recovered.

Equinor and DNO are considering drilling the appraisal well in 2024.

The well, formally named Well 35/10-9, was drilled to a vertical depth of 1779 meters below sea level and a measured depth of 1809 meters.  The water depth at the site is 368 meters. The well has been permanently plugged and abandoned.

Geir S?rtveit, Equinor’s senior vice president for exploration and production west said: "Our Troll exploration play keeps delivering. With discoveries in eight out of nine exploration wells, we are approaching a success rate of 90%. We plan to further explore the area, while looking at possible development solutions for the discoveries that have been made. We have a good infrastructure in the area and can quickly bring competitive barrels from here to the market at low cost and with low CO2 emissions,"

The seven previous discoveries are: Echino South, Swisher, R?ver North, Blasto, Toppand, Kveikje and R?ver South.

Equinor plans to drill between 20-30 exploration wells each year going forward. Around 80 percent of the exploration wells will be drilled in known areas close to infrastructure, but new selected areas and ideas will be tested, Equinor said.

The Deepsea Stavanger drilling rig, which was used to drill the Heisenberg well, will now drill wildcat well 6406/5-2 in production licence 255B in the Norwegian Sea, where Equinor is the operator.
