据钻机地带11月1日报道，挪威能源巨头Equinor周一透露，其在挪威大陆架上获得了今年第六次发现。
Equinor概述说，其与合作伙伴PGNiG上游挪威公司和Longboat能源挪威公司一起，在6407/1-9号探井-埃及Vulture中发现了石油。Equinor强调，据初步估计，该井已探明可采石油当量在300万-1000万标准立方米之间，相当于1900万-6200万桶。
6407/1-9号井在挪威海Tyrihans油田以北约6英里，Kristin油田以东约14英里处钻探。据Equinor透露，该井垂直钻至海平面以下12739英尺的测量深度，在Lange地层的砂岩中遇到了约118英尺的油柱。
Equinor强调称，该井的目的是检测Lange地层晚白垩世砂岩储层中的碳氢化合物。Equinor指出，将对其进行进一步评估，并评估其与该地区现有油田的连接。
Equinor北部勘探和生产区总监克里斯汀·韦斯特维克（Kristin Westvik）在一份公司声明中表示，我们的目标是将大陆架从石油和天然气省转变为广泛的能源省，以确保在未来几十年从大陆架创造价值。
Westvik继续说道，在这一雄心壮志中，我们的勘探活动至关重要，并补充道，未来的价值创造将主要来自于现有油田的提高采收率，以及与现有基础设施附近的新发现。
早在6月份，Equinor就透露，其与合作伙伴Var Energi和Aker BP已经在554号生产许可区发现了石油。4月，Equinor宣布，其与合作伙伴道达尔E&P Norge AS和Var Energi在挪威海Tyrihans油田的一个新区块发现了石油和天然气，3月，该公司宣布在北海Fram油田附近发现了“大量”石油。同月，Equinor与合作伙伴Var Energi和Petoro在巴伦支海532号生产许可区的7220/7-4号探井发现了石油。Equinor今年的第一个发现是在北海的Troll油田附近。

Equinor Makes 6th Norwegian Discovery in 2021
Equinor revealed Monday that it has made its sixth discovery align="justify"> Together with partners PGNiG Upstream Norway and Longboat Energy Norway, Equinor found oil in exploration well 6407 / 1-9 - Egyptian Vulture, the company outlined. Preliminary estimates show that between three and 10 million standard cubic meters of recoverable oil equivalents have been proven in the well, corresponding to 19-62 million barrels, Equinor highlighted.
Well 6407 / 1-9 was drilled about six miles north of the Tyrihans field and around 14 miles east of the Kristin field in the Norwegian Sea. The well was drilled vertically to a measured depth of 12,739 feet below sea level and encountered an estimated 118 foot oil column in sandstone in the Lange Formation, Equinor revealed.
The aim of the well was to detect hydrocarbons in sandstone reservoirs of the late Cretaceous age in the Lange Formation, Equinor highlighted. It will be evaluated for further appraisal and assessed for tie back to existing fields in the area, Equinor noted.
“Our ambition is to transform the shelf from an oil and gas province to a broad energy province that will ensure value creation from the shelf in the decades to come,” Kristin Westvik, area director for exploration and production north at Equinor, said in a company statement.
“In this ambition, our exploration activities are central,” Westvik went align="justify"> Back in June, Equinor revealed that it and partners Var Energi and Aker BP had struck oil in production license 554. In April, Equinor announced that it and its partners Total E&P Norge AS and Var Energi had struck oil and gas in a new segment belonging to the Tyrihans field in the Norwegian Sea and in March the company announced a “significant” oil discovery close to the Fram field in the North Sea. During the same month, Equinor and partners Var Energi and Petoro found oil in exploration well 7220/7-4 in production license 532 in the Barents Sea. Equinor’s first discovery this year was made near the Troll field in the North Sea.
