据美国钻井网站5月21日报道，欧洲领先的独立油气公司德国温特斯豪Dea宣布，该公司日前在位于挪威海Haltenbanken地区的Dvalin North远景区获得了重大油气发现。发现了大量的天然气、凝析油和石油储量。

　　温特斯豪Dea强调，Dvalin North发现距离其运营的Dvalin油气田仅7英里多一点，预计总储量在7100万桶至1.57亿桶油当量之间。温特斯豪Dea表示，许可证合作伙伴现在将评估这个重大发现的开发选项，其中可能包括与Dvalin油气田的连接共同开发。

　　Dvalin North远景区是温特斯豪Dea在Haltenbanken地区两口井勘探和评价项目中的第一口井。承担发现井钻井作业的“深海阿伯丁号”钻机目前正在对这个2020年获得的位于伯克纳普油田附近的发现进行评价。

　　温特斯豪Dea首席技术官、负责全球勘探作业的执行董事会成员Hugo Dijkgraaf在一份公司声明中表示：“这个发现所在区域既有已运营的基础设施，也有未运营的基础设施。”

　　他补充说：“这一重大发现支持了我们的战略，即主要投资于基础设施主导的勘探活动，这个发现将与现有油田产生协同效应。”

　　Dijkgraaf 说，“挪威是我们收益增长的核心领域之一。我们将继续勘探和开发油田，以支持我们在挪威大陆架的增长战略。”

　　温特斯豪Dea挪威公司总经理Alv Solheim说：“随着Maria, Dvalin，以及现在Dvalin North的发现，Haltenbanken地区已经成为温特斯豪Dea在挪威的战略核心区域。”“下一步将是将这些发现转化为生产油田。这一发现确保了我们在该地区的地位，并承诺在未来几年支持更多的活动。”

　　根据其网站，温特斯豪Dea是欧洲领先的独立天然气和石油公司。公司总部位于德国的卡塞尔和汉堡，在13个国家勘探和生产天然气和石油。

　　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.
