挪威石油和天然气公司 Equinor 在挪威近海北海的 Troll 油田附近发现了石油和天然气。

该公司表示，这是自 2019 年以来在该地区的第八个发现。 

据 Equinor 称，已发现的储量估计为 24 至 8400 万桶油当量，其中石油略多于天然气。 

这口发现井名为Heisenberg，由 Odfjell Drilling 的 Deepsea Stavanger 半潜式钻井平台钻探。 

Equinor 是运营商，DNO 是合作伙伴。 

Equinor 表示：“这一发现被认为具有商业价值，部分原因是它可以利用连接到 Troll B 平台的现有基础设施。”

然而，在确定这些体积是否可以开采之前，需要进行评估井来更准确地估计其大小。 

Equinor 和 DNO 正在考虑在 2024 年钻探评估井。 

该井正式名称为35/10-9井，钻井深度为海平面以下1779米，实测深度为1809米。现场水深368米。该井已被永久堵塞并废弃。

Equinor 西部勘探和生产高级副总裁Geir Sasertveit表示：“我们的 Troll 勘探项目持续交付。九口探井中有八口有发现，我们的成功率正接近 90%。我们计划进一步探索该地区，同时为已发现的发现寻找可能的开发解决方案。我们在该地区拥有良好的基础设施，可以快速地将有竞争力的桶以低成本和低二氧化碳排放量从这里推向市场。” 

之前的七个发现是：Echino South、Swisher、Rasever North、Blasto、Toppand、Kveikje 和 Rasever South。

Equinor 计划今后每年钻探 20-30 口勘探井。Equinor 表示，约 80% 的勘探井将在靠近基础设施的已知区域钻探，但新选定的区域和想法将得到测试。

用于钻海森堡井的 Deepsea Stavanger 钻机现在将在挪威海钻探 6406/5-2 号预探井，生产许可证为 255B，Equinor 是挪威海的作业者。

Norwegian oil and gas firm Equinor has made an oil and gas discovery near its Troll field in the North Sea, offshore Norway.

The company said this was its eighth discovery in the area since 2019. 

According to Equinor, the volumes discovered are estimated at between 24 and 84 million barrels of oil equivalent, with slightly more oil than gas. 

Named Heisenberg, the discovery well was drilled by Odfjell Drilling's Deepsea Stavanger semi-submersible drilling rig. 

Equinor is the operator, and DNO is a partner. 

"The discovery is considered commercially interesting, partly because it can utilize existing infrastructure connected to the Troll B platform," Equinor said.

However, an appraisal well is needed to get a more precise estimate of the size before it can be concluded whether the volumes can be recovered. 

Equinor and DNO are considering drilling the appraisal well in 2024. 

The well, formally named Well 35/10-9, was drilled to a vertical depth of 1779 meters below sea level and a measured depth of 1809 meters.   The water depth at the site is 368 meters. The well has been permanently plugged and abandoned.

Geir Sørtveit, Equinor’s senior vice president for exploration and production west said: "Our Troll exploration play keeps delivering. With discoveries in eight out of nine exploration wells, we are approaching a success rate of 90%. We plan to further explore the area, while looking at possible development solutions for the discoveries that have been made. We have a good infrastructure in the area and can quickly bring competitive barrels from here to the market at low cost and with low CO2 emissions," 

The seven previous discoveries are: Echino South, Swisher, Røver North, Blasto, Toppand, Kveikje and Røver South.

Equinor plans to drill between 20-30 exploration wells each year going forward. Around 80 percent of the exploration wells will be drilled in known areas close to infrastructure, but new selected areas and ideas will be tested, Equinor said.

The Deepsea Stavanger drilling rig, which was used to drill the Heisenberg well,  will now drill wildcat well 6406/5-2 in production licence 255B in the Norwegian Sea, where Equinor is the operator.
