Equinor flies high at Orn

摘要

NORWEGIAN operator Equinor has made a gas discovery that could add resources to production facilities in the northern part of the Norwegian Sea. The Orn (Eagle) wildcat found between 8 billion and 15 billion cubic metres of natural gas in a prospect about 12 kilometres south-west of the Vaar Energi-operated subsea field Marulk, which is tied back to the Norne floating production, storage and offloading vessel. The probe encountered a total gas column of 40 metres in the Middle Jurassic Gam and Not formations, without reaching the gas/water contact.
