???? 據(jù)油氣工程3月10日消息稱，Equinor及其合作伙伴Var Energi和Petoro在巴倫支海532號生產(chǎn)許可證的7220/7-4號勘探井發(fā)現(xiàn)了石油。迄今為止，可采資源量估計在500萬至800萬立方米的可采石油，相當于3100萬至5000萬桶可采石油。

????Equinor負責挪威勘探的高級副總裁Nick Ashton說：“在巴倫支海取得成功需要毅力和長遠的眼光。這一發(fā)現(xiàn)加強了我們對現(xiàn)有機會的信心，尤其是在卡斯伯格、威斯汀、斯諾赫維特和格利亞地區(qū)。”

????該井位于Johan Castberg油田7220/8-1井西南約10公里處，Hammerfest西北約210公里處。

????7220/7-4探井是Equinor今年計劃在巴倫支海鉆探的四口探井中的第一口。

????Ashton說：“多年來，Equinor一直在Harstad和Hammerfest開發(fā)和運營強大的專業(yè)社區(qū)。這項發(fā)現(xiàn)的后續(xù)工作可能會加強這項工作。”

????該井在St?和Nordmela地層發(fā)現(xiàn)了1090米的石油。頂部油藏位于海平面以下1788米的垂直深度。井中未遇到預期的氣頂。

????該井沒有進行地層測試，但進行了大量數(shù)據(jù)采集和取樣。

????將在稍后階段考慮對Johan Castberg油田計劃的基礎設施進行進一步開發(fā)。因此，已探明的資源可能會從Johan Castberg油田為社會創(chuàng)造重要的附加價值和稅收。

????Oil discovery made near Johan Castberg field

????Equinor and partners Var Energi and Petoro have struck oil in exploration well 7220/7-4 in production licence 532 in the Barents Sea. Recoverable resources are so far estimated at between 5 and 8 million m3 of recoverable oil, corresponding to 31 – 50 million bbl of recoverable oil.

????“Succeeding in the Barents Sea requires perseverance and a long-term perspective. This discovery strengthens our belief in the opportunities that exist, not least around the Castberg, Wisting, Sn?hvit and Goliat areas,” said Nick Ashton, Equinor’s senior vice president for exploration in Norway.

????The well was drilled about 10 km southwest from the well 7220/8-1 on the Johan Castberg field, and 210 km northwest of Hammerfest.

????Exploration well 7220/7-4 is the first of four planned exploration wells for Equinor in the Barents Sea this year (as operator or partner).

????“Equinor has been developing strong specialist communities for exploration, development and operations in Harstad and Hammerfest over many years. The follow-up of this discovery may strengthen this work,” said Ashton.

????The well struck 109 m of oil in the St? and Nordmela formations. The top reservoir was encountered at a vertical depth of 1788 m below sea level. The expected gas cap was not encountered in the well.

????The well was not formation tested, but extensive data acquisition and sampling took place.

????Further development of the discovery towards the planned infrastructure for the Johan Castberg field will be considered at a later stage. The proven resources may thus generate important additional value and tax revenues for society from the Johan Castberg field.
