Equinor Makes Another Oil And Gas Discovery Near The Troll Field In The North Sea. This Is Equinor’s Eighth Discovery In The Region Since 2019.

Production is estimated between 24 and 84 million barrels of oil equivalent, with slightly more oil than gas. The discovery well, named Heisenberg, was drilled by the Deepsea Stavanger rig. Equinor is the operator and DNO is the partner.

Oil And Gas Discovery Is Seen As A Boost For The Company

The discovery is considered commercially valuable, in part because it could leverage the existing infrastructure connected to the Troll B platform. However, an appraisal well is needed to get a more accurate size estimate before determining if these volumes can be recovered. The parties are considering drilling an appraisal well in 2024.

“Our troll exploration program continues to deliver. Found in 8 out of 9 exploration wells, we have a success rate approaching 90%. We have a good infrastructure in the area and can move competitively. The barrels are brought to market from here with low CO2 emissions”, said Geir Sørtveit, Senior Vice President of Western Exploration and Production at Equinor.

Equinor’s Exploration Strategy

The company’s strategy is to explore capacity in mature areas where discoveries can be tied to existing infrastructure to maximize the value of investments made over 50 years. In the future, they plan to drill 20 to 30 exploration wells per year, where about 80% of the exploration wells will be drilled in known areas near infrastructure, but new areas and selected ideas will be tested.

Additionally, they will drill wells based on three main criteria: high profitability and low breakeven price, short payback period, and low carbon intensity. Exploration is key to maintaining cash flow from the NCS and ensuring the necessary gas volumes to develop the value chain of blue hydrogen.
