Equinor 将获得北海、挪威海和巴伦支海的优质油气区块，从而加强公司在挪威大陆架 (NCS) 的勘探活动、生产和长期价值创造的基础。

其中 21 个油气区块位于北海，10 个位于挪威海，4 个位于巴伦支海，17 个油气区块由 Equinor 公司运营。

“我们对此次APA招标非常满意，这将有助于我们继续保持高水平的勘探活动。2025年我们取得了14项重大发现，其中7项由Equinor公司运营，为公司辉煌的一年画上了圆满的句号。这相当于约1.25亿桶油当量的新可采石油储量，而且未来还有更大的潜力。”Equinor公司负责挪威大陆架地下业务的高级副总裁Jez Averty表示。

许可证的颁发范围包括已有基础设施的区域和新建区域。

“我们的地质知识非常丰富，而且我们通过进一步勘探不断学习更多知识。在一些鲜为人知的地区，例如我们在北海东北部和西南部的穆雷盆地获得的奖项，为我们提供了新的、令人兴奋的机会，”艾弗蒂说道。

Equinor计划每年钻探20至30口勘探井。其中80%的勘探活动将在现有基础设施附近进行，而20%将探索新的勘探领域和鲜为人知的区域。

要使Equinor公司在2035年之前每年开发6-8个新的海底油气项目，就必须发现和开发新的资源。这将比目前的水平大幅提高。

作为欧洲最大的能源供应商，Equinor 在欧洲能源安全和能源转型中发挥着关键作用。

“获取新的油气区块对于我们实现到2035年从北大陆架（NCS）向欧洲维持高产量和可预测能源供应的目标至关重要。北大陆架仍然蕴藏着大量能源，但我们需要新的发现来遏制预期的产量下降。将新发现的油气逐步输送到现有基础设施是未来发展的核心任务，”艾弗蒂总结道。

Equinor will gain access to attractive acreage in the North Sea, the Norwegian Sea and the Barents Sea, strengthening the foundation for the company's exploration activity, production and long-term value creation on the Norwegian continental shelf (NCS).

Twenty-one of the awards are located in the North Sea, ten in the Norwegian Sea, and four in the Barents Sea, 17 of the licences with Equinor as an operator.

“We are very pleased with the APA round, which facilitates our plans for a continued high level of activity within exploration. A strong year has been completed with 14 discoveries in 2025, 7 of them Equinor operated. This amounts to approximately 125 million boe of new recoverable oil, with a potential for even more,” says Jez Averty, Equinor’s senior vice president for subsurface, the Norwegian continental shelf.

The licenses are awarded within areas with existing infrastructure and new areas.

“Our geological knowledge is high, and we are constantly learning more through further exploration. Awards in lesser-known areas, such as we have received in the northeastern part of the North Sea and in the southwestern Møre Basin, provide new and exciting opportunities,” says Averty.

Equinor plans to drill 20 - 30 exploration wells annually. 80% of the exploration will be near existing infrastructure, while 20% will explore new concepts and lesser-known areas.

Discovery and maturation of new resources are necessary for Equinor to develop 6 - 8 new subsea developments each year until 2035. This is a significant increase from the current level.

As Europe's largest energy provider, Equinor plays a key role in European energy security and energy transition.

“Access to new acreage is crucial for our ambition to maintain a high level of production and predictable energy deliveries to Europe from the NCS towards 2035. There is still a lot of energy left on the NCS, but we need new discoveries to curb the expected production decline. Phasing in oil and gas from new discoveries to existing infrastructure is a core task going forward,” Averty concludes.
