Fossil Energy – Discovery
Equinor has struck oil and gas near the Fram field in the North Sea.
The discovery is estimated at between 13 and 28 million barrels of oil equivalent.
An exploration well with sidetrack has been drilled about 10 kilometres north of the Troll field in the North Sea. Petroleum was struck in both well trajectories.
Both oil and gas were discovered, slightly more than half being gas. The discoveries were made on the Rhombi prospect.
The license owners will consider tie-in to existing infrastructure and other prospects in the area.
The well was drilled by the Deepsea Atlantic semi-submersible rig.
