Equinor 在 3 月 14 日的新闻稿中表示，在北海 Troll Field 附近的海森堡发现“具有商业价值”。

初始可采量估计在 28 至 84 MMboe 之间。运营 PL827S 许可证的 Equinor 表示，这一发现可能与 Troll B 平台有关。许可合作伙伴 DNO 表示，这一发现在古近纪时期的霍达兰群砂岩中发现了碳氢化合物。

Equinor 西部勘探和生产高级副总裁 Geir Sasertveit 表示：“我们的 Troll 勘探项目不断取得成果。”计划进一步勘探该地区，同时为已发现的发现寻找可能的开发解决方案。我们在该地区拥有良好的基础设施，可以快速地将有竞争力的桶以低成本和低 CO ₂排放量从这里推向市场。”

大约一个月前，Equinor 及其合作伙伴报告了在同一地区的另一个 Rasever South 发现。

Equinor 表示，为了更好地估计可从 Heisenberg 开采的石油量，有必要进行评估井，许可合作伙伴正在考虑在 2024 年进行评估井。

Deepsea Stavanger 在 Heisenberg 勘探区钻探了 35/10-9 预探井，水深 368 m。挪威石油管理局表示，预探井在霍达兰群的砂岩层中发现了一个6 m长的气柱，上面有一个约8 m长的油柱，砂岩层总长为14 m，储层物性中等。该井已被永久堵塞并废弃。

Equinor 代表合作伙伴 DNO 运营该许可证，拥有 51% 的权益和剩余权益。

Equinor’s Heisenberg discovery near the Troll Field in the North Sea is “commercially interesting,” the company said in a March 14 press release.

Initial recoverable volumes are estimated between 28 and 84 MMboe. Equinor, which operates the PL827S license, said the find could be tied back to the Troll B platform. License partner DNO said the discovery well encountered hydrocarbons in Hordaland Group sandstones of Paleogene Age.

"Our Troll exploration play keeps delivering,” Geir Sørtveit, Equinor’s senior vice president for exploration and production west, said. “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."

About a month ago, Equinor and its partners reported another the Røver South discovery in the same area.

Equinor said an appraisal well is necessary to better estimate the size of the volumes that can be recovered from Heisenberg and the license partners are considering an appraisal well in 2024.

Deepsea Stavanger drilled wildcat well 35/10-9 on the Heisenberg prospect in 368 m of water. The Norwegian Petroleum Directorate said the wildcat well encountered a 6 m gas column over an oil column of around 8 m in the Hordaland Group in sandstone layers totaling 14 m, with moderate reservoir properties. The well has been permanently plugged and abandoned.

Equinor operates the license with 51% interest on behalf of partner DNO with the remaining interest.
