钻井作业将使用半潜式钻井平台 (SSDR) Transocean Enabler 进行：

  • 2016年在韩国大宇造船海洋工程公司建造；
  • 以前的名称“Songa Enabler”；
  • 在 Transocean 于 2018 年接管该公司之前，该公司由 Songa Offshore 运营；
  • 能够在500m深度工作；
  • 最大钻孔深度——8500米；
  • 设计——GVA 4000 NCS；
  • 可容纳130人。

Transocean Enabler 多年来一直为 Equinor 进行钻井工作。 最后一份建造 19 口井的合同是几个月前签署的。 该协议还包括另外 8 口井的选择权。 合同总价值估计为4.15亿美元，其中固定部分为2.95亿美元。

  • 位于巴伦支海，Snasehvit油田西北100公里处，位于7219/9和7220/4、5、7区块，距离Melkya约240公里，距离Goliat约150公里；
  • 底土处海深～370 m；
  • Johan Castberg 项目： 由 Skrugard（2011 年 4 月发现）、Havis（2012 年 1 月发现）和 Drivis（2014 年 5 月发现）矿床组成。 Skrugard和Havis距离酒店有7公里。 Johan Castberg 项目 设计产量为 22 万桶/天。

开发和运营计划 (PDO) 于 2018 年 6 月获得批准。项目开发概念涉及使用浮式生产储卸油装置 (FPSO)，该装置将连接 30 口井（18 口水平生产井和 12 口注入井）井） 。 计划于 2024 年开始生产。

最初，该项目计划于第四季度启动。 2022 年，但由于延误和成本超支而被推迟。 巴伦支海可能蕴藏着挪威未发现的石油和天然气储量的约60%。

2023 年，挪威政府举行了下一轮 APA 许可，期间在该王国的大陆架上分配了 92 个地下区块，包括。 巴伦支海有78个区块，挪威海有14个区块。 根据APA-2023的结果，Equinor在北海获得了18个生产许可证，在挪威海获得了13个生产许可证，在巴伦支海获得了8个生产许可证。

The Norwegian Ocean Industry Authority (Havtil) has granted Equinor permission to drill at the Johan Castberg field in the Barents Sea. Havtil reports.

Transocean Enabler

Drilling operations will be carried out using a semi-submersible drilling rig (SSDR) Transocean Enabler:

  • built at the South Korean shipyard Daewoo Shipbuilding & Marine Engineering in 2016;
  • previous name – Songa Enabler;
  • operated by Songa Offshore before Transocean took over the company in 2018;
  • capable of operating at a depth of 500 m;
  • maximum drilling depth – 8.5 thousand m;
  • design – GVA 4000 NCS;
  • accommodates 130 people.

Transocean Enabler has been performing drilling work for Equinor for many years. The last contract for the construction of 19 wells was signed several months ago. The agreement also includes an option for another 8 wells. The total value of the contract is estimated at $415 million, with a fixed portion of $295 million.

Johan Castberg field

  • located in the Barents Sea, 100 km northwest of the Snøhvit field, in blocks 7219/9 and 7220/4, 5, 7, approximately 240 km from Melkøya and 150 km from Goliat;
  • sea depth at the subsoil site – 370 m;
  • Johan Castberg project: consists of the Skrugard (discovered April 2011), Havis (January 2012), and Drivis (May 2014) deposits. Skrugard and Havis are 7 km apart. Johan Castberg project designed to produce 220 thousand barrels/day of oil.

The Plan of Development and Operation (PDO) was approved in June 2018. The project development concept involves the use of a floating production, storage and offloading unit (FPSO), to which 30 wells will be connected (18 horizontal production wells and 12 injection wells) . The start of production is planned for 2024.

Initially, the project launch was planned for the 4th quarter. 2022, but was postponed due to delays and cost overruns. The Barents Sea may contain about 60% of Norway’s undiscovered oil and natural gas reserves.

In 2023, the Norwegian government held the next APA licensing round, during which 92 subsoil blocks were allocated on the kingdom’s continental shelf, incl. 78 blocks in the Barents Sea and 14 blocks in the Norwegian Sea. Based on the results of APA-2023, Equinor received 18 production licenses in the North Sea, 13 in the Norwegian Sea and 8 in the Barents Sea.
