挪威能源公司 Vör Energi 2 月 27 日表示，该公司在挪威大陆架巴伦支海的 Goliat 地区发现了第三个海上石油储备。

运营的 Zagato 勘探井初步估计总可采资源量在 15 MMboe 至 43 MMboe 之间。Zagato 发现距离 Goliat FPSO 8 公里，将 Goliat 山脊的估计总发现和预期可采资源量提升至 200 MMboe 以上。

首席运营官 Torger Rád 在新闻稿中表示：“靠近现有基础设施提供了快速、低排放、成本效益高的开发机会，可利用 Goliat FPSO 的可用容量，增加高价值油桶。”

到目前为止，在 Goliat 山脊上钻探的三口井分别是 Countach、Countach 评估井和 Zagato。这三口井都在 Goliat 油田旁边的不同断层块中发现了碳氢化合物。

Countach 评估和 Zagato 油井是与Equinor为期两年的勘探与生产合作的一部分。Vander Energi 是 Zagato 的运营商，拥有 65% 的权益。Equinor 拥有剩余的 35%。

Rød 表示：“随着今年更多油井的钻探，我们看到了释放大量额外资源作为 Goliat 配套项目的机会。”“最近的发现继续增强了 Vør Energi 在长期内维持 350-400 kboepd 高价值产量的能力。”

Vör 将在夏季获取新的 3D 和 4D 地震勘测数据，以完成剩余的潜力描绘和开发研究。第三季度，Vör 将再钻探两口勘探/评估井。 

完成 Zagato 作业后，该钻机将用于在 Goliat 油田钻加密井，然后于 2025 年晚些时候返回 Goliat 山脊。

Vør 计划在四年内在巴伦支海钻探 20 口勘探井。

Vår Energi has discovered a third offshore oil reserve in the Goliat area of the Norwegian Continental Shelf’s Barents Sea, the company said Feb. 27.

The operated Zagato exploration well found between 15 MMboe to 43 MMboe of preliminary estimated gross recoverable resource. The Zagato discovery is located 8 km from the Goliat FPSO and increases the potential of the Goliat ridge to above 200 MMboe of estimated gross discovered and prospective recoverable resource.

“Close proximity to existing infrastructure provides opportunity for a fast track, low emission, cost-efficient development utilising available capacity at the Goliat FPSO, adding high value barrels,” COO Torger Rød said in the press release.

The three wells drilled so far on the Goliat ridge are Countach, Countach appraisal and Zagato. All three have discovered hydrocarbons in separate fault blocks next to the Goliat field.

The Countach appraisal and Zagato wells are part of an E&P collaboration with Equinor over a two-year period. Vår Energi is the operator of Zagato with 65% interest. Equinor owns the remaining 35%.

“With additional wells being drilled this year, we see an opportunity to unlock significant additional resources as tie-back projects to Goliat,” Rød said. “The recent discoveries continue to strengthen Vår Energi’s ability to sustain high value production of 350-400 kboepd in the longer-term.”

Vår will acquire new 3D and 4D seismic surveys in the summer to finish the remaining potential delineation and development studies. In the third quarter, Vår will drill two more exploration/appraisal wells. 

After completing Zagato, the well’s rig will be used to drill infill wells at the Goliat field before returning to the Goliat ridge later in 2025.

Vår plans to drill 20 exploration wells in the Barents Sea over a four-year period.
