Equinor 在北海 Troll 油田以西 17 公里处发现了油田。目前估计该油田储量在 200 万至 1200 万桶油当量之间。该油田既有石油也有天然气。该油田的初步名称为 Ringand。这是该地区短时间内的第二次发现。

按标准立方米计算，该发现的储量估计在 30 万至 200 万立方米之间。单独进行开发，该发现可能不具备商业价值。

“这是一个小发现，但位于一个有趣的区域，我们计划利用现有的大量基础设施进一步探索。如果有更多发现，将它们结合起来可能有助于确保良好的资源利用率和最佳的经济效益，”Equinor 挪威大陆架 (NCS) 西部勘探与生产高级副总裁 Geir Sórtveit 说道。

该井由Odfjell Drilling公司的Deepsea Atlantic半潜式钻井平台钻探。

Equinor made a discovery 17 km west of the Troll field in the North Sea. The discovery is currently estimated at between 2 and 12 million barrels of oil equivalent. The discovery consists of both oil and gas. The preliminary name of the discovery is Ringand. This is the second discovery in a short time in the area.

Measured in standard cubic metres, the discovery is estimated at between 0.3 and 2 million cu m. The discovery will probably not be commercial for development in isolation.

“It’s a small discovery, but in an interesting area that we plan to further explore with much existing infrastructure. If more discoveries are made, it may be relevant to combine these to ensure good resource utilization and the best possible economy,” says Geir Sørtveit, Equinor’s senior vice president for Exploration & Production West on the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS).

The well was drilled by Odfjell Drilling’s Deepsea Atlantic semisubmersible.
