據美國鉆井網站5月21日報道，歐洲領先的獨立油氣公司德國溫特斯豪Dea宣布，該公司日前在位于挪威海Haltenbanken地區的Dvalin North遠景區獲得了重大油氣發現。發現了大量的天然氣、凝析油和石油儲量。

　　溫特斯豪Dea強調，Dvalin North發現距離其運營的Dvalin油氣田僅7英里多一點，預計總儲量在7100萬桶至1.57億桶油當量之間。溫特斯豪Dea表示，許可證合作伙伴現在將評估這個重大發現的開發選項，其中可能包括與Dvalin油氣田的連接共同開發。

　　Dvalin North遠景區是溫特斯豪Dea在Haltenbanken地區兩口井勘探和評價項目中的第一口井。承擔發現井鉆井作業的“深海阿伯丁號”鉆機目前正在對這個2020年獲得的位于伯克納普油田附近的發現進行評價。

　　溫特斯豪Dea首席技術官、負責全球勘探作業的執行董事會成員Hugo Dijkgraaf在一份公司聲明中表示：“這個發現所在區域既有已運營的基礎設施，也有未運營的基礎設施。”

　　他補充說：“這一重大發現支持了我們的戰略，即主要投資于基礎設施主導的勘探活動，這個發現將與現有油田產生協同效應。”

　　Dijkgraaf 說，“挪威是我們收益增長的核心領域之一。我們將繼續勘探和開發油田，以支持我們在挪威大陸架的增長戰略。”

　　溫特斯豪Dea挪威公司總經理Alv Solheim說：“隨著Maria, Dvalin，以及現在Dvalin North的發現，Haltenbanken地區已經成為溫特斯豪Dea在挪威的戰略核心區域。”“下一步將是將這些發現轉化為生產油田。這一發現確保了我們在該地區的地位，并承諾在未來幾年支持更多的活動。”

　　根據其網站，溫特斯豪Dea是歐洲領先的獨立天然氣和石油公司。公司總部位于德國的卡塞爾和漢堡，在13個國家勘探和生產天然氣和石油。

　　Wintershall Dea Makes Significant Discovery

　　Wintershall Dea has announced that it has made a significant gas, condensate, and oil discovery at the Dvalin North prospect in the Haltenbanken area of the Norwegian Sea.

　　The Dvalin North find, which is just over seven miles from the company’s operated Dvalin field, is estimated to hold combined resources of between 71 million and 157 million barrels of oil equivalent, Wintershall highlighted. The company said the license partners will now evaluate development options for the discovery, which could include a tie back to the Dvalin field.

　　Dvalin North is the first well of a two well exploration and appraisal program for Wintershall Dea in the Haltenbanken area. The Deepsea Aberdeen rig, which drilled the discovery well, is now moving on to appraise the nearby Bergknapp discovery, which was made in 2020.

　　“The discovery is in an area with existing operated as well as non-operated infrastructure,” Hugo Dijkgraaf, Wintershall Dea’s chief technology officer and the company’s responsible executive board member for global exploration, said in a company statement.

　　“This important find supports our strategy of primarily investing in infrastructure-led exploration activity which will yield synergies with existing fields,” he added.

　　“Norway is one of our core areas for growth. We will continue to explore and develop fields to support our growth strategy on the Norwegian Continental Shelf,” the Wintershall Dea representative went on to say.

　　Alv Solheim, the managing director of Wintershall Dea Norge, said, “with Maria, Dvalin, and now this discovery in Dvalin North, the Haltenbanken area has emerged as a strategic core area for Wintershall Dea in Norway”.

　　“The next step will be to turn these discoveries into producing fields. This find secures our position in the area and promises to support more activity in the years to come,” Solheim added.

　　According to its website, Wintershall Dea is Europe’s leading independent natural gas and oil company. The business is headquartered in Kassel and Hamburg, in Germany, and explores for, and produces, gas and oil in 13 countries.
