Repsol makes the largest U.S. onshore oil discovery in 30 years

摘要

Repsol and partner Armstrong Energy have made in Alaska the largest U. S. onshore conventional hydrocarbons discovery in 30 years. The Horseshoe-1 and 1A wells drilled during the 2016-2017 winter campaign confirm the Nanushuk play, as a significant emerging play in Alaska's North Slope. The contingent resources identified with the existing data in the Nanushuk play in Alaska could amount to approximately 1.2, billion b of recoverable light oil. Repsol holds a 25% working interest in the Horseshoe discovery arid a 49% working interest in the Pikka Unit. Armstrong holds the remaining working interest and is currently the operator.
