據石油和天然氣管道新聞網8月4日消息，海王星能源及其合作伙伴宣布，在北海挪威區塊Dugong油井發現了石油，這是挪威今年迄今最大的石油發現。

Dugong位于福羅以西158公里，水深330米，接近現有的生產設施。Dugong油田由兩個深度在3,250 - 3,500米之間的水庫組成。

海王星能源在一份聲明中稱，該處石油儲量估計在630 - 1900萬標準立方米可采石油當量，或4000 - 1.2億桶石油當量。

海王星能源挪威常務董事Odin Estensen表示：“這是一項重大發現，對海王星在這一地區的能量具有戰略意義。Dugong還可能在周邊的許可證領域開辟更多的機會，比如挪威海王星的新核心區。”

此外，Dugong油田的發現大大降低了另一個油田的勘探風險，根據海王星的估計，該油田的可采石油當量為520萬標準立方米，即3300萬桶石油當量。這使得海王星估計PL882的總資源潛力高達1.53億桶石油當量。

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.
