据天然气工业6月5日消息称，挪威国家石油公司已获得石油和天然气管理局（OGA）颁发的五项许可证，其中四项作为运营商，一项作为合作伙伴参与。

挪威和英国勘探高级副总裁尼克?阿什顿表示：“我们很高兴在第31轮离岸许可回合中获得了这些许可。这轮前沿许可的这些合同授予对于我们继续在英国大陆架(UKCS)进行高水平的勘探活动非常重要，支持我们成为英国领先能源供应商的雄心。”

这些许可证位于马里湾和东设得兰平台，扩大了挪威国家石油公司目前在北海这些地区的位置。挪威国家石油公司还获得了北海北部Frigg许可证的延期，以支持Frigg再开发项目。许可证授予包括在东设得兰平台和马里湾的几个地区进行地震勘探的承诺。

阿什顿表示：“英国离岸许可协议使我们能够在多一个多产盆地的勘探组合增加新的机遇，这符合我们在未开发和更成熟地区释放剩余潜力的战略。我们相信通过新的发现继续在UKCS创造价值，并期待我们在2019年的第五个勘探井Lifjellet，将在今年晚些时候钻探。”

Equinor awarded five new licences on UKCS

Equinor has been awarded five licences by the Oil and Gas Authority (OGA) - four as operator and one as partner.

“We are pleased to have been awarded these licences in the 31st Offshore Licensing round. These awards in this frontier licensing round are important in continuing our high level of exploration activity on the UK Continental Shelf (UKCS), in support of our ambition to be a leading energy provider to the UK,” said Nick Ashton, senior vice president for exploration in Norway and UK.

The licences are situated in the Moray Firth and East Shetland Platform, expanding upon Equinor’s current position in these areas of the North Sea. Equinor was also awarded an extension to the Frigg License in the Northern North Sea supporting the Frigg redevelopment project. The license awards include commitments for seismic surveys in several areas on the East Shetland Platform and the Moray Firth.

“The UK Offshore Licensing rounds enable us to add new opportunities to our exploration portfolio in a prolific basin, in line with our strategy to unlock the remaining potential in both underexplored and more mature areas. We believe in continued value creation on the UKCS through new discoveries and look forward to our fifth exploration well in 2019, Lifjellet, to be drilled later this year,” said Ashton.
