Equinor 和 Wellesley Petroleum 启动了一项联合勘探项目，旨在增加挪威大陆架上的高压高温 (HPHT) 勘探活动。

该计划预计于 2026 年启动，首批勘探井计划于 2027 年开始钻探。合作伙伴的目标是在 2027 年至 2030 年间钻探多达 15 口勘探井。

根据该协议，韦尔斯利计划每年在两家公司均已参与的许可证区域内运营三至五口高温高压井。所有钻井活动都将在现有许可证框架内进行。

这些公司表示，该项目旨在加快勘探活动，缩短从勘探钻井到利用挪威大陆架现有基础设施进行潜在生产的时间表。

Equinor and Wellesley Petroleum launched a joint exploration project aimed at increasing high-pressure, high-temperature (HPHT) exploration activity on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.

The program is scheduled to begin in 2026, with the first exploration wells planned from 2027. The partners aim to drill up to 15 exploration wells from 2027 to 2030.

Under the arrangement, Wellesley plans to operate three to five HPHT wells per year in licenses where both companies already participate. All drilling activities will be carried out within existing license structures.

The companies said the project is intended to accelerate exploration activity and shorten the timeline from exploration drilling to potential production from discoveries tied back to existing infrastructure on the Norwegian Continental Shelf.
