DNO ASA 7 月 10 日宣布，挪威北海的卡门发现可能成为 2013 年以来挪威大陆架 (NCS) 上最大的发现。

DNO 持有 PL1148 30% 的工作权益，该项目由 Wellesley Petroleum AS 持有 50% 的权益运营。其他合作伙伴为 Equinor Energy AS 和 Aker BP ASA，各占 10%。

Carmen 位于布伦特航道，是韦尔斯利第一口运营的高压/高温井。

DNO 表示，对从卡门发现井和后续延伸侧线获取的综合数据（包括岩心和流体样本）的初步评估表明，P90 至 P10 的总可采资源量在 120 MMboe 至 230 MMboe 范围内（已证明是可能的）基础。DNO 表示，Carmen 的温度为 175 MMboe，即该范围的中点，是 2013 年以来 NCS 上最大的发现。

这两口井已经建立了更深的碳氢化合物-水接触面，是 DNO 钻前预期范围中点的三倍。

2022年4月，Wellesley宣布与CIMC Offshore AS签署意向书，由Odfjell Drilling运营的Deepsea Yantai钻探PL1148卡门井。半潜式潜水器可在 70 m 至 1,200 m 水深下作业。

PL1148 最初在 APA 2021 许可轮中授予运营商 Wellesley 50% 和合作伙伴 Equinor 50%。DNO 和 Aker BP 于 2022 年入股 PL1148。

DNO 表示，Carmen 是该公司自 2021 年以来在 Troll-Gj 酶 a 领域的第六个发现，靠近现有基础设施，具有明确的商业化路线。其他发现者包括 Rasever Nord、Kveikje、Ofelia、Rasever Saser 和 Heisenberg。

DNO ASA reported the Carmen discovery in the Norwegian North Sea, announced July 10, could rank as the largest discovery on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS) since 2013.

DNO holds a 30% working interest in PL1148, which is operated by Wellesley Petroleum AS with 50%. The other partners, with 10% each, are Equinor Energy AS and Aker BP ASA.

Carmen is located in the Brent fairway and is Wellesley’s first operated HP/HT well.

DNO said preliminary evaluation of comprehensive data, including cores and fluid samples, acquired from the Carmen discovery well and a follow-on extended sidetrack indicates gross recoverable resources in the range of 120 MMboe to 230 MMboe on a P90 to P10 (proved-possible) basis. At 175 MMboe, the mid-point of this range, Carmen ranks as the largest discovery on the NCS since 2013, DNO said.

The two wells have established a deeper hydrocarbon-water contact, tripling the mid-point of DNO’s pre-drill expected range.

In April 2022, Wellesley announced that it had signed a letter of intent with CIMC Offshore AS for the Deepsea Yantai, operated by Odfjell Drilling, to drill the Carmen well in PL1148. The semisubmersible can operate in water depths of 70 m to 1,200 m.

PL1148 was originally awarded to Wellesley as operator with 50% and partner Equinor with 50% in the APA 2021 license round. DNO and Aker BP farmed into PL1148 in 2022.

DNO said Carmen is the company’s sixth discovery in the Troll-Gjøa area since 2021 and is located close to existing infrastructure with clear routes for commercialization. The other discoveries are Røver Nord, Kveikje, Ofelia, Røver Sør and Heisenberg.
