New discovery by North Sea Troll field
Equinor has made an oil and gas discovery close to the Troll field in the North Sea. This is the seventh discovery in this area since the autumn of 2019.
The name of the discovery is Røver Sør. According to preliminary estimates the size of the discovery is between 17 and 47 million barrels of recoverable oil equivalent, of which the majority is oil.
Equinor is operator of the production licence. The partners are DNO, Wellesley Petroleum and Petoro.
The two exploration wells of the discovery were drilled by the Transocean Spitsbergen rig.
The six discoveries that Equinor have made earlier in this area are:
Echino Sør: 2019
Swisher: 2020
Røver Nord: 2021
Blasto: 2021
Toppand: 2022
Kveikje: 2022
There is uncertainty as to the size of the discoveries, but an average of the various estimates gives a total volume of around 350 million barrels of oil equivalent, corresponding to a medium-sized Norwegian oil or gas field, and the size of the Aasta Hansteen field in the Norwegian sea.
