Vör Energi与Kistos Energy就挪威Balder地区Balder五期项目达成最终投资决定。

该项目将开发 3300 万桶油当量 (mmboe) 的总已探明加概算 (2P) 储量，总资本支出为 6.9 亿美元。钻探将于 2025 年上半年开始，并于 2026 年完成，首批油井将于 2025 年底投产。

Balder 第五阶段涉及钻探多达六口加密井，使用现有 Balder 海底设施中所有剩余的可用模板井槽，并连接回 Jotun FPSO 进行处理。多分支井的钻探扩大了储层面积，增加了可采储量和采收率，减少了所需的井数。

该油田由 V¯r Energi (90%) 运营，合作伙伴 Kistos Energy Norway AS (10%)。

Vår Energi and Kistos Energy reached the final investment decision for the Balder Phase V project in the Balder area of Norway.

The project will develop 33 million barrels of oil equivalent (mmboe) of gross proved plus probable (2P) reserves for capital spend of $690 million gross. Drilling will commence in the first half of 2025 and be complete in 2026, with the first wells coming onstream by the end of 2025.

Balder Phase V involves drilling of up to six infill wells using all the remaining available template well slots in the existing Balder subsea facilities and tied back to the Jotun FPSO for processing. The drilling of multilateral wells has resulted in extending the reservoir area, increased recoverable reserves and recovery factor, reducing the number of wells required.

The field is operated by Vår Energi (90%) with Kistos Energy Norway AS as partner (10%).
