據(jù)油價(jià)網(wǎng)7月10日消息稱，挪威油氣運(yùn)營商DNO ASA在挪威北海Carmen區(qū)塊發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個(gè)重要的天然氣和凝析油區(qū)塊。綜合數(shù)據(jù)初步評(píng)估表明，Carmen的總可采資源量在1.2億至2.3億桶當(dāng)量之間，是2013年以來挪威大陸架最大的發(fā)現(xiàn)。

“Carmen證明還有重要資源有待發(fā)現(xiàn)，挪威歷史最悠久的石油公司DNO將成為該國石油和天然氣故事新篇章的一部分。”DNO執(zhí)行主席Bijan Mossavar-Rahmani說。

挪威已成為歐洲最大的天然氣供應(yīng)國。今年，挪威對(duì)歐洲大陸的管道天然氣出口量保持強(qiáng)勁，平均出口量為3.13億立方米/天。

挪威能源公司Aker BP周四公布，6月，該公司在北海Yggdrasil地區(qū)發(fā)現(xiàn)了比預(yù)期多得多的石油。初步估計(jì)表明，這一發(fā)現(xiàn)總可采儲(chǔ)量為4000萬至9000萬桶油當(dāng)量，遠(yuǎn)高于該公司此前預(yù)計(jì)的1800萬至4500萬桶油當(dāng)量。

這一發(fā)現(xiàn)將大大增強(qiáng)Aker BP在Yggdrasil開發(fā)方面的資源基礎(chǔ)，此前估計(jì)該地區(qū)的總油當(dāng)量為6.5億桶。該油田位于873和442生產(chǎn)許可證范圍內(nèi)，在873許可證范圍內(nèi)，Equinor ASA和PGNiG Upstream Norway是合作伙伴。該項(xiàng)目的開發(fā)和運(yùn)營計(jì)劃(PDO)于2022年12月提交給挪威當(dāng)局，計(jì)劃于2027年開始生產(chǎn)。

北海擁有大量已知的石油和天然氣儲(chǔ)量。根據(jù)挪威石油和天然氣管理局的一份報(bào)告，到2020年底，北海已知的石油和天然氣儲(chǔ)量達(dá)到44億桶油當(dāng)量。

Norway Makes Biggest Hydrocarbon Discovery In 10 Years

Norwegian oil and gas operator, DNO ASA, has made a significant gas and condensate discovery on the Carmen prospect in the Norwegian North Sea. Preliminary evaluation of comprehensive data indicates gross recoverable resources in the range of 120-230 , making millionCarmen ranks as the largest discovery on the Norwegian Continental Shelf since 2013.

“Carmen proves there are important discoveries still to be made and Norway’s oldest oil company, DNO, will be part of this next chapter of the country’s oil and gas story,” said DNO’s Executive Chairman Bijan Mossavar-Rahmani.

Norway has become the largest supplier of natural gas to Europe. Norway's pipeline gas exports to continental Europe have been robust in the current year, with flows averaging 313 million cu m/d.

Last month, Norway’s Aker BP (NYSE:BP) (OTCQX:AKRBF) made a much bigger than expected oil discovery in the Yggdrasil area of the North Sea, the energy company reported on Thursday.

Preliminary estimates indicate a gross recoverable volume of 40 million-90 million barrels of oil equivalent (boe), much higher than the company’s earlier projection of between 18 million and 45 million boe.

The discovery will significantly enhance Aker BP’s resource base for the Yggdrasil development, which previously was estimated at 650M gross boe.The oil discovery is located within production licenses 873 and 442: In license 873, with Equinor ASA (NYSE:EQNR) and PGNiG Upstream Norway as partners. The plan for development and operations (PDO) for this project was submitted to Norwegian authorities in December 2022, with production scheduled to start in 2027.

The North Sea is home to substantial known oil and gas reserves. According to a report produced by the Oil and Gas Authority, known reserves of oil and gas in the North Sea at the end of 2020 amounted to 4.4 billion barrels of oil equivalent (BOE).
