海王星能源在挪威海域发现石油

据石油和天然气管道新闻网8月4日消息，海王星能源及其合作伙伴宣布，在北海挪威区块Dugong油井发现了石油，这是挪威今年迄今最大的石油发现。

Dugong位于福罗以西158公里，水深330米，接近现有的生产设施。Dugong油田由两个深度在3,250 - 3,500米之间的水库组成。

海王星能源在一份声明中称，该处石油储量估计在630 - 1900万标准立方米可采石油当量，或4000 - 1.2亿桶石油当量。

海王星能源挪威常务董事Odin Estensen表示：“这是一项重大发现，对海王星在这一地区的能量具有战略意义。Dugong还可能在周边的许可证领域开辟更多的机会，比如挪威海王星的新核心区。”

此外，Dugong油田的发现大大降低了另一个油田的勘探风险，根据海王星的估计，该油田的可采石油当量为520万标准立方米，即3300万桶石油当量。这使得海王星估计PL882的总资源潜力高达1.53亿桶石油当量。

Neptune Energy confirms oil find off Norway

Neptune Energy and its partners announced the commercial discovery of oil at the Dugong well in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea, the largest discovery in Norway so far this year.

Dugong is located 158 kilometres west of Flor?, Norway, at a water depth of 330 metres, and is close to existing production facilities. The Dugong prospect consists of two reservoirs that lies at a depth between 3,250 – 3,500 metres.

The volumes are estimated to be in the range of 6.3 – 19.0 million standard cubic meters (MSm3) of recoverable oil equivalent, or 40 – 120 million barrels of oil equivalent (boe), Neptune Energy said in a statement.

Neptune Energy’s managing director in Norway, Odin Estensen, said: “This is a significant discovery and strategically important for Neptune Energy in this region. Dugong may also open up additional opportunities in the surrounding licences, with the potential for a new core area for Neptune in Norway.”

In addition, the Dugong discovery has significantly de-risked another prospect in the licence estimated by Neptune at 5.2 million standard cubic meters (MSm3) of recoverable oil equivalent, or 33 million boe. This brings Neptune’s estimate of the total resource potential in PL882 to as much as 153 million boe.
