对该发现的初步评估表明，总可采资源量在 16 至 38 百万桶油当量之间，平均为 25 百万桶油当量，远高于钻探前的估计。超过一半的资源是在中侏罗纪主要目标中发现的，其余的资源是在上侏罗纪次要目标中发现的。

Cuvette 是 DNO 自 2021 年以来在 Troll 和 Gjóa 生产中心周围高产地区的第八个发现。其他发现包括 Róver Nord、Kveikje、Ofelia、Róver Sór、Heisenberg、Carmen 和 Kyrre，均靠近基础设施，并且具有明确的商业化路线。

Wintershall Dea Norge AS 经营 PL248F 和 PL248GS 许可证以及与 Gjóa 相关的附近 Vega 油田。许可证的另一个合作伙伴 Petoro AS 同样持有 Vega 的股份。Vega 的三个海底模板之一 Vega Central 位于新发现井以北仅 3 公里处。合作伙伴将考虑通过 Vega Central 模板快速生产中侏罗纪油田。另一个选择是与 2015-2016 年发现的三个附近油田（Syrah、Orion、Beaujolais；总计约 1500 万桶油当量）联合开发，DNO 也持有其中 20% 的权益。

DNO 执行主席 Bijan Mossavar-Rahmani 表示：“我们在现有收集和加工基础设施附近不断发现新油田。我们现在面临的挑战是向挪威石油行业注入大量创业精神，让合作伙伴、基础设施主办方和监管机构感受到紧迫感，帮助将我们的油田和其他油田推向市场。”

继今年年初成功评估 Heisenberg 之后，Cuvette 成为 DNO 2024 年北海勘探计划中的第二口井。还有五口井待钻，其中四口也位于 Troll-Gjóa 地区。

Preliminary evaluation of the discovery indicates gross recoverable resources in the range of 16 – 38 million boe with a mean of 25 million boe, well above predrill estimates. Just over half of the resources were encountered in the Middle Jurassic primary target, and the balance in the Upper Jurassic secondary target.

Cuvette is DNO’s eighth discovery in the highly prolific area surrounding the Troll and Gjøa production hubs since 2021. The other discoveries are Røver Nord, Kveikje, Ofelia, Røver Sør, Heisenberg, Carmen and Kyrre, all close to infrastructure and with clear routes towards commercialisation.

Wintershall Dea Norge AS operates licenses PL248F and PL248GS as well as the nearby Vega field tied back to Gjøa. Another partner in the licenses, Petoro AS, similarly holds a stake in Vega. One of Vega’s three subsea templates, Vega Central, is located only 3 km to the north of the new discovery well. The partners will consider fast-track production of Middle Jurassic volumes through the Vega Central template. Another option is a joint development with three nearby discoveries made in 2015-2016 (Syrah, Orion, Beaujolais; totaling some 15 million boe gross), in which DNO also holds a 20% interest.

“We are racking up discovery after discovery close to existing gathering and processing infrastructure. Our challenge now is to inject the Norwegian oil sector with a large dose of entrepreneurialism to bring a sense of urgency to partners, infrastructure hosts and regulatory bodies in helping bring our and other discoveries to market,” said DNO Executive Chairman Bijan Mossavar-Rahmani.

Following the successful appraisal of Heisenberg early in the year, Cuvette was the second well in DNO’s 2024 North Sea exploration program. Five wells remain to be drilled, of which four are also in the Troll-Gjøa area.
