BUMPER FIND EAST OF ABERDEEN GENERATES EXCITEMENT IN OIL AND GAS INDUSTRY

摘要

INTERNATIONAL GIANTS have made a bumper gas find east of Aberdeen,which they say shows there is still lots to go for in the mature North Sea.Total made the find,estimated to contain 250 million barrels recoverable,with a well drilled with China's CNOOG and Edison of Italy,reports the Herald Scotland.Experts believe that the find could be the biggest made on the United Kingdom Continental Shelf for more than a decade.The success comes after Total made a major gas discovery West of Shetland with the Glendronach well in September.This stoked excitement about the potential of the relatively under-explored waters off Shetland,which is still considered to be a frontier area.
