这些是Equinor今年迄今为止最大的发现，可以通过现有的基础设施开发，销往欧洲市场。

位于1140号生产许可证下的Lofn井和Langemann井位于Gudrun油田和Eirin油田之间。初步估计表明，这些油藏可能蕴藏500万至1800万立方米^的可采油当量，相当于3000万至1.1亿桶原油。

“这表明在挪威大陆架维持勘探活动的重要性。大陆架上仍然蕴藏着丰富的能源资源，而欧洲需要稳定的油气供应。在现有油田附近发现的新油气资源可以通过海底设施快速开发，从而最大限度地减少对环境的影响，降低生产过程中的二氧化碳_排放量，并带来可观的利润。Equinor计划加快在挪威大陆架上的此类开发，”Equinor挪威勘探与生产执行副总裁Kjetil Hove表示。

该油田的生产许可证于2022年通过预定义区域授予协议（APA）授予Equinor公司。钻井目标是利用海底节点（OBN）地震技术确定的，该技术将传感器放置在海底，以提供比传统地面地震更精确的地质数据。

“斯莱普内尔地区是挪威天然气出口欧洲的重要枢纽。这些发现增强了我们对该地区进一步勘探的信心。我们将与合作伙伴一道，致力于在未来再钻探五口​​勘探井。增加新的天然气产量对于维持该地区的出口能力和价值创造至关重要，”霍夫总结道。

这些井是由深海大西洋钻井平台钻探的，该钻井平台将前往该地区的下一个勘探井。

许可证持有者为 Equinor Energy AS（60%）和 Aker BP ASA（40%）。

These are Equinor’s largest discoveries so far this year and can be developed for the European market through existing infrastructure.

The two wells, Lofn and Langemann in production license 1140, are located between the Gudrun and Eirin fields. Preliminary estimates indicate that the reservoirs may contain between 5 and 18 million m³ of recoverable oil equivalents, corresponding to 30 to 110 million bbls.

“This demonstrates the importance of maintaining exploration activity on the Norwegian continental shelf. There are still significant energy resources on the shelf, and Europe needs stable oil and gas deliveries. Discoveries near existing fields can be developed quickly through subsea facilities, with limited environmental impact, very low CO₂ emissions from production, and strong profitability. Equinor plans to accelerate such developments on the Norwegian continental shelf,” says Kjetil Hove, executive vice president for Exploration & Production Norway at Equinor.

The production license was awarded to Equinor in 2022 through the APA (Awards in Predefined Areas). The drilling targets were identified using Ocean Bottom Node (OBN) seismic technology, where sensors are placed on the seabed to provide more precise geological data than traditional surface seismic.

“The Sleipner area is an important hub for Norwegian gas exports to Europe. These discoveries strengthen our optimism for further exploration in the area. Together with our partners, we are committed to drill five additional exploration wells going forward. Adding new volumes is essential to maintain export capacity and value creation from the area,” Hove concludes.

The wells were drilled by the Deepsea Atlantic rig, which will move to the next exploration well in the area.

License holders are Equinor Energy AS (60%) and Aker BP ASA (40%).
