DNO 宣布在挪威北海 PL923/923B 许可证的 Ringand 勘探区发现石油和天然气。初步估计，总可采资源量在 200-1300 万桶油当量 (MMboe) 范围内，以 P90-P10 为基础，平均为 1000 万桶油当量。

合作伙伴 Equinor（60% 和运营商）、Petoro（20%）和 DNO 将考虑将该发现与该地区未来的基础设施联系起来。

此次发现是 DNO 自 2021 年以来在 Troll 和 Gjóa 生产中心周围勘探热点地区发现的第九个油田，之前发现的油田有 Róver Nord、Kveikje、Ofelia、Róver Sór、Heisenberg、Carmen、Kyrre 和 Cuvette。Troll-Gjóa 地区的油田发现占 DNO 在北海净或有资源的最大份额，截至 2023 年底，该油田的净或有资源量为 1.32 亿桶油当量。

Ringand 与 Rasever Nord 和 Rasever Saser 位于同一许可范围内，这三个矿区距离 Troll B 平台均在 25 公里半径范围内，Troll B 平台可能是 Equinor 运营的候选矿区。12 月初，DNO 宣布在 PL1086 许可范围内发现了 Othello 矿（50% 和运营商），该矿区位于 Ekofisk 枢纽以东 40 公里处，Valhall 枢纽东北 55 公里处。

DNO announced an oil and gas discovery on the Ringand prospect in the Norwegian North Sea license PL923/923B. Preliminary estimates of gross recoverable resources are in the range of 2-13 million barrels of oil equivalent (MMboe) on a P90-P10 basis with a mean of 10 MMboe.

Partners Equinor (60% and operator), Petoro (20%) and DNO will consider tying back the discovery to future infrastructure in the area.

The discovery is DNO’s ninth discovery in the exploration hotspot surrounding the Troll and Gjøa production hubs since 2021, following Røver Nord, Kveikje, Ofelia, Røver Sør, Heisenberg, Carmen, Kyrre and Cuvette. Discoveries in the Troll-Gjøa area make up the largest share of DNO’s net contingent resources in the North Sea, which stood at 132 MMboe at yearend 2023.

Ringand lies in the same license as Røver Nord and Røver Sør, all three within a 25-km radius from the Troll B platform, a likely host candidate operated by Equinor. In early December, DNO announced the play-opening Othello discovery in license PL1086 (50% and operator) 40 km east of the Ekofisk hub and 55 km northeast of the Valhall hub.
