據海上工程師網2022年4月5日報道，挪威能源巨頭Equinor日前在部署在北海挪威一側海域的Kveikje勘探井獲得了重大石油發現，Longboat能源公司是Equinor在這個項目中的合作伙伴。

這口發現井的正式名稱為35/10-8S，位于PL293B許可證內，于3月8日開鉆，使用的是Odfjell鉆井公司的“深海斯塔萬格號”海上鉆機。

Longboat能源公司擁有該許可證10%的股份，據初步估計，該勘探井的主要目標Kveikje Main的可采資源為2800萬-4800萬桶油當量，高于鉆探前的預期。

現場初步分析表明，發現井的石油的API度為30-40，屬于中密度石油。Longboat 能源公司表示：“這個發現具有優良的儲層質量，而且接近現有基礎設施，可以通過多種出口選擇進行簡單的開發。”

Longboat能源公司首席執行官Helge Hammer表示：“Longboat能源公司非常高興在Kveikje勘探井中獲得了重大的商業石油發現。 ”

Equinor Makes 'Significant' Oil Discovery Offshore Norway

Norwegian oil company Equinor has made a significant discovery at the Kveikje exploration well in the North Sea, offshore Norway, Longboat Energy, Equinor's partner in the project, has informed. 

The well, formally named Well 35/10-8S, located in license PL293B, was spudded March 8, using Odfjell Drilling's Deepsea Stavanger offshore drilling rig.

According to Longboat, which owns a 10% stake in the license, the preliminary estimate of recoverable resources in Kveikje Main, being the primary target of the exploration well, is 28 to 48 MMboe (gross), above the pre-drill expectation.

The preliminary on-site analysis of the oil indicates a medium-density oil (30-40 deg API).

"The discovery has excellent reservoir quality and is close to existing infrastructure allowing for a simple development through multiple export options," Longboat Energy said.

Helge Hammer, Chief Executive of Longboat, said "Longboat is very pleased to have made a significant commercial discovery in the Kveikje well.
