DNO ASA宣布在挪威近海发现“重大发现”，这是其两年内的第二次重大发现。

DNO 表示，Othello 的发现是首次在 Vale 地层的 Borr 单元发现可移动石油。Othello 的钻探地点位于盆地东部，以前被称为“干带”。

该公司在该地层钻探了两口井，较浅的勘探区已见成效。初步估计显示，总可采资源量为 2700 万桶油当量至 5700 万桶油当量，平均估计为 4100 万桶油当量。

DNO 持有该许可证 50% 的经营权益。Aker BP ASA和Petoro AS各持有 20%，Source Energy AS 持有剩余的 10%。合作伙伴正在考虑将该发现与现有基础设施联系起来。康菲石油公司的Ekofisk 枢纽位于奥赛罗以西 25 英里处，Aker 的 Valhall 枢纽位于西南 35 英里处。

去年，DNO宣布在挪威北海发现Norma气凝析油。

DNO ASA announced a “play opener” oil discovery offshore Norway, its second significant discovery in two years.

The Othello discovery is the first time moveable oil has been encountered in the Borr unit of the Vale Formation, DNO said. Othello was drilled in an eastern section of the basin previously known as “the dry belt.”

The company drilled two wells in the formation, and the shallower prospect hit. Preliminary estimates show gross recoverable resources of 27 MMboe to 57 MMboe, with a mean estimate of 41 MMboe.

DNO holds a 50% operated interest in the license. Aker BP ASA and Petoro AS hold 20% each, and Source Energy AS the remaining 10%. The partners are considering tying back the discovery to existing infrastructure. The ConocoPhillips Ekofisk hub is 25 miles west of Othello and Aker’s Valhall hub is 35 southwest.

Last year, DNO announced the Norma gas condensate discovery in the Norwegian North Sea.
