Equinor finds more oil close to major Johan Castberg project

摘要

London—Norway’s state-controlled Equinor has made an oil discovery estimated at 31 million-50 million barrels near its flagship Johan Castberg complex in the Barents Sea, in a potential boost for the industry’s expansion goals in the Arctic region, it said March 10. Equinor said the well, some 230 km northwest of the far northern town of Hammerfest, had struck a 109-meter oil section in the early Jurassic age Sto and Nordmela formations, without encountering an expected gas cap.
