Equinor在北海取得两项新发现

Equinor在北海的Troll区域发现了石油,在Sleipner区域发现了天然气和凝析油。自2018年以来,Equinor已参与Troll区域26口勘探井的钻探工作,其中19口井有发现,发现率超过70%。

Byrding C油田位于Troll地区Fram油田西北5公里处,估计蕴藏400万至80万桶可采石油。Frida Kahlo油田位于Sleipner Vest油田西北部的Sleipner B平台,估计蕴藏500万至90万桶油当量天然气和凝析油。该井最早将于4月投产。

斯莱普纳油田是一个成熟的油田,大部分油气产量已经开采完毕。因此,该油田需要依靠新的油气发现来维持盈利生产并延长开采寿命。

利用海底节点(OBN)地震、4D地震以及对现有数据的重新处理,人们对挪威大陆架的地下情况有了新的、更深入的了解,并为斯莱普纳和特罗尔地区的勘探成功做出了贡献。

Equinor makes two new discoveries in the North Sea

Equinor discovered oil in the Troll area and gas and condensate in the Sleipner area of the North Sea. Since 2018, Equinor has participated in the drilling of 26 exploration wells in the extended Troll area. Nineteen discoveries have been made, giving a discovery rate of more than 70%.

The Byrding C discovery was made 5 km northwest of the Fram field in the Troll area and is estimated to contain 4–8 million barrels of recoverable oil. The Frida Kahlo discovery was drilled from the Sleipner B platform, northwest of the Sleipner Vest field, and is estimated to contain 5–9 million barrels of oil equivalent of gas and condensate. The well will be brought on stream as early as April.

Sleipner is a mature area where the largest volumes have already been produced. The fields in the area therefore depend on new discoveries to maintain profitable production and extend their lifetime.

The use of Ocean Bottom Node (OBN) seismic, 4D seismic, and reprocessing of existing data has provided a new and improved understanding of the subsurface on the Norwegian Continental Shelf and has contributed to exploration success in both the Sleipner and Troll areas.
