???? 據美國鉆井網站奧斯陸報道，挪威能源巨頭Equinor 2月8日在奧斯陸宣布，Equinor與其合作伙伴DNO挪威分公司、挪威Petoro石油公司和Wellesley石油公司日前在北海第923號生產許可證區塊內獲得了一個重要的石油和天然氣發現Rover North發現。

????Rover North發現的可開采資源估計在700萬至1100萬標準立方米油當量之間，Equinor強調，這相當于4400萬至6900萬桶油當量。

????Equinor指出，Rover North發現增加了近年來在特羅爾/佛拉姆地區油氣發現的數量。Equinor表示，該地區的Echino、Swisher和Rover North發現的可采石油當量已經可以與瓦萊蒙、古德龍和吉娜克羅格等油田的總產量相比較。

????Equinor負責挪威勘探的高級副總裁Nick Ashton在一份公司聲明中表示，“這一油氣發現是Equinor在特羅爾/佛拉姆地區進行了多年周密地下作業的直接結果，表明了不放棄、而是重新開始的重要性，從新的角度審視老問題。”

????他在聲明中補充說，“新的勘探作業從而為社會創造了巨大的價值，同時資源可以根據CO2排放的要求通過從發現到消費的價值鏈實現?！?/p>

????Equinor Makes First Find of 2021

????Equinorhas announced that it and its partners - DNO Norge, Petoro and Wellesley Petroleum - have struck gas and oil in the North Sea’s production license 923.

????Recoverable resources of the Rover North find are estimated to be between seven and 11 million standard cubic meters of oil equivalent, which Equinor highlighted corresponds to between 44 and 69 million barrels of oil equivalent.

????Equinor noted that the Rover North discovery adds to a number of finds in the Troll/Fram area in recent years. Recoverable oil equivalents from the area’s Echino, Swisher and Rover North discoveries can already measure against the total production from fields like Valemon, Gudrun and Gina Krog, Equinor stated.

????“The discovery is a direct consequence of thorough subsurface work in the Troll/Fram area over many years, and shows the importance of not giving up, but starting over, looking at old issues from new angles,” Nick Ashton, Equinor’s senior vice president for exploration in Norway, said in a company statement.

????“Exploration thus creates great values for society, at the same time as the resources can be realized in accordance with the requirements for CO2 emissions through the value chain, from discovery to consumption,” he added in the statement.
