Equinor公司已启动位于巴西坎波斯盆地盐下层的Raia项目的钻探阶段。这标志着双方合作的一个重要里程碑，该项目正朝着2028年计划投产的目标稳步推进。

Valaris DS-17 钻井船于 3 月 24 日开始钻井作业。此次钻井活动包括在 Raia 地区钻探六口井，该地区位于巴西海岸外约 200 公里处，水深约 2900 米。

Raia项目由Equinor（持股35%）运营，并与Repsol Sinopec Brasil（持股35%）和Petrobras（持股30%）合作开展。钻井活动建立在各公司在深水作业方面的综合能力之上，包括此前在Bacalhau油田的经验，DS-17钻井平台也参与了该油田的钻井作业。

Equinor started the drilling phase for the Raia project in the pre salt of the Campos Basin, Brazil. This marks a key milestone for the partnership as the projects progresses towards planned start up in 2028.

The Valaris DS‑17 drillship started drilling operations on 24 March. The drilling campaign includes six wells in the Raia area, located around 200 km offshore the coast of Brazil in water depths of around 2,900 m.

The Raia project is operated by Equinor (35%), in partnership with Repsol Sinopec Brasil (35%) and Petrobras (30%). Drilling activities build on the companies’ combined competence in deepwater operations, including previous experience on the Bacalhau field, where the DS‑17 also took part in the drilling campaign.
