据油田技术11月6日报道，挪威国家石油公司（Equinor）于2019年11月6日宣布在挪威北海弗拉姆油田附近发现油气,Rystad Energy高级分析师帕尔佐尔·谢加（Palzor Shenga）在评论时表示:“经过最近的一系列发现后,2019年成为自2014年以来在挪威大陆架（NCS）勘探最成功的一年。”

Rystad估计，此次发现的石油可采储量约为7000万桶，这将使今年迄今的累计探明储量达到5.2亿桶，超过2018年的5.18亿桶。

谢加补充道：“到今年年底，挪威大陆架的已探明石油储量将达到6.5亿桶。目前，正在进行的勘探钻探活动也取得了相当大的成功。”

到目前为止，Aker BP是2019年最成功的钻井公司，钻井勘探成功率达41%，Equinor以23%的成功率位居第二。Lundin、Vaar Energi和Wellesley Petroleum均为4%。

尽管在过去7年里，巴伦支海的油气发现总量表明，该地区是是挪威大陆架油气勘探最成功的地区。NCS的成熟勘探区域仍有很多可供选择的区块。这些发现与现有基础设施距离较接近，便于商业化开采。

Rystad Energy: Best year for discoveries on NCS since 2014

Commenting on Equinor’s oil and gas discovery near the Fram field in the Norwegian North Sea, announced on 6 November 2019, senior analyst Palzor Shenga at Rystad Energy said: “After a string of recent discoveries, 2019 is shaping up to be the most successful exploration year since 2014 on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS).”

Rystad Energy estimates the discovery to hold recoverable resources of around 70 million boe. This will bring cumulative discoveries year-to-date to 520 million boe, surpassing the 518 million boe found in 2018.

“Norway could see total discoveries reaching 650 million boet by year-end with decent success in ongoing exploration drilling campaigns,” Shenga added.

Aker BP has been the most successful driller thus far in 2019, with 41% of discovered volumes. Equinor comes in second, with 23% of total volumes. Lundin, Vaar Energi, and Wellesley Petroleum share the final place on the podium with 4% each.

“While the Barents Sea has been Norway’s most successful area in the past seven years in terms of total volumes discovered, the number of discoveries and the volumes found prove that the mature parts of the NCS still have a lot to offer. The proximity of these discoveries to existing infrastructure makes them lucrative,” noted Shenga.
