據(jù)離岸工程8月26日報(bào)道， 英國油氣公司海王星能源（Neptune Energy）在其位于北海挪威段的Gj?a油田附近發(fā)現(xiàn)了石油和天然氣。

Ofelia發(fā)現(xiàn)位于Gj?a生產(chǎn)平臺以北約15公里處。估計(jì)可采儲量為1600萬～3900萬桶油當(dāng)量。

Ofelia位于運(yùn)營平臺Gj?a以北15公里，水深344米處。該發(fā)現(xiàn)可以考慮作為Gj?a的回接開發(fā)，與該公司最近在Hamlet的油氣發(fā)現(xiàn)相呼應(yīng)。

海王星挪威勘探和開發(fā)主管Steinar Meland表示，Ofelia的發(fā)現(xiàn)驗(yàn)證了我們的勘探戰(zhàn)略，并證實(shí)了Gj?a附近地區(qū)的高勘探潛力。

海王星能源公司在Ofelia發(fā)現(xiàn)的生產(chǎn)許可中擁有40%的股份。Wintershall Dea和Pandion Energy各擁有20%的股份，而Aker BP和DNO各擁有10%的股份。

據(jù)海王星的一位發(fā)言人稱，這是該公司在Agat地層的第三個發(fā)現(xiàn)，該儲層直到最近才成為挪威大陸架上已建立勘探模型的一部分。

Ofelia鉆探方案確認(rèn)，在總垂直深度2639米處存在油/水接觸。

海王星能源公司挪威和英國董事總經(jīng)理奧丁·埃斯特森（Odin Estensen）表示，Gj?a是海王星在挪威的一個重要增長領(lǐng)域，現(xiàn)有基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施允許低成本和低碳開發(fā)。

Neptune Energy discovers oil at Ofelia exploration well offshore Norway

Neptune Energy, an oil and gas company in the UK, has made an oil and gas discovery near its Gj?a field in the Norwegian sector of the North Sea.

The Ofelia discovery was made about 15km north of the Gj?a production platform. The estimated recoverable volume is 2.5-6.2 million standard cubic metres or 16-39 million barrels of oil equivalent.

Ofelia lies 15km north of the operating Gj?a platform at a water depth of 344 metres. The discovery could be considered for development as a tie-back to Gj?a in tandem with the company’s recent oil and gas discovery at Hamlet.

“The Ofelia discovery validates our exploration strategy and confirms the high prospectivity potential of the area around Gj?a,” said Steinar Meland, Neptune’s head of exploration and development in Norway.

Neptune Energy owns a 40% stake in the production licence of the Ofelia discovery. Wintershall Dea and Pandion Energy own 20%, whereas Aker BP and DNO own 10% of the stakes. 

According to a spokesperson at Neptune, this is the company’s third discovery in the Agat formation, “a reservoir which until recently was not part of established exploration models on the Norwegian Shelf.”

The Ofelia drilling programme confirmed an oil/water contact at a total vertical depth of 2,639 metres.

Neptune Energy’s Managing Director for Norway and the UK, Odin Estensen, said: “Gj?a is an important growth area for Neptune in Norway, where existing infrastructure allows for low cost and low carbon developments.”
