Vör Energi 宣布在巴伦支海 Goliat 油田附近的 Zagato 勘探井中发现石油，这为该地区最近的勘探成功增添了新的亮点。

初步估计该井发现的总可采资源量在 1500 万至 4300 万桶油当量 (mmboe) 之间。这是去年宣布的 Countach 发现的补充，使总估计可采资源量达到约 1 亿桶油当量。这些发现继续证明了 Goliat 山脊的潜力，估计总发现和预期可采资源量增加到 2 亿桶油当量以上。

Zagato 发现位于 Goliat FPSO 东北 8 公里处，是 Vôr Energi 在 NCS 上的核心区域之一。Goliat 山脊由一系列毗邻 Goliat 油田的断层边界勘探区组成。

迄今为止，在 Goliat 山脊钻探的三口井（Countach、Countach 评价井和 Zagato）已成功在不同断层块中发现碳氢化合物，这大大降低了未钻探区域的勘探风险。在勘探井中发现的优质储层与在产 Goliat 油田的储层类似。

为了完成剩余的潜力描绘并加快开发研究的进展，将于 2025 年夏季进行新的 3D 和 4D 地震勘测，并于今年第三季度末开始钻探另外两口勘探/评估井。

Countach 评估和 Zagato 油井是计划在巴伦支海进行的为期两年的钻探活动的一部分，这是与 Equinor 合作开展的一项工作，目标是加密生产井和勘探井。总体而言，Vør Energi 计划在四年内于巴伦支海地区钻探约 20 口勘探井。

完成 Zagato 的工作后，该钻机将用于在 Goliat 油田钻加密井，然后在今年晚些时候返回 Goliat 山脊。

Vør Energi 是拥有 65% 权益的运营商，而 Equinor 拥有剩余的 35% 权益。

Vår Energi announces an oil discovery in the operated Zagato exploration well near the Goliat field in the Barents Sea, adding to recent exploration success in the area.

The preliminary estimated gross recoverable resources encountered in the well are between 15 and 43 million barrels of oil equivalent (mmboe). This comes in addition to the Countach discoveries announced last year, and brings the total gross estimated recoverable resources up to a high case reaching around 100 mmboe. The discoveries continue to demonstrate the potential of the Goliat ridge, with estimated gross discovered and prospective recoverable resources increased to above 200 mmboe.

The Zagato discovery is located 8 km northeast of the Goliat FPSO, one of Vår Energi’s core areas on the NCS. The Goliat ridge consists of a series of adjacent fault bounded prospects next to the Goliat field.

The three wells drilled so far on the Goliat ridge, Countach, Countach appraisal and Zagato, have successfully discovered hydrocarbons in separate fault blocks, which significantly de-risks the prospectivity in the undrilled areas. The good quality reservoirs found in the exploration wells, are similar to those in the producing Goliat field.

To complete the remaining potential delineation and accelerate the progress to development studies, a new 3D and a 4D seismic survey will be acquired during summer 2025 accompanied by the drilling of two further exploration/appraisal wells commencing around the end of the third quarter this year.

The Countach appraisal and Zagato wells are part of the planned two-year drilling campaign in the Barents Sea, a collaboration effort with Equinor targeting both infill production and exploration wells. In total, Vår Energi plans to drill around 20 exploration wells in the Barents Sea region over a four-year period.

After completing work at Zagato, the rig will be used to drill infill wells at the Goliat field before returning to the Goliat ridge later this year.

Vår Energi is the operator with 65% interest, while Equinor owns the remaining 35%.
