中国石化新闻网讯 据油价网5月25日消息称，挪威能源公司Aker BP周四报告称，该公司在北海Yggdrasil地区发现了超过预期的石油。

初步估计表明，总可采储量为4000万至9000万桶油当量，远高于该公司此前预计的1800万至4500万桶油当量。

这一发现将大大增强Aker BP在Yggdrasil开发方面的资源基础，此前估计该地区的油当量为6.5亿桶。该油田位于873和442生产许可证范围内，在873许可证范围内，Equinor ASA和PGNiG Upstream Norway是合作伙伴。该项目的开发和运营计划(PDO)于2022年12月提交给挪威当局，计划于2027年开始生产。

北海拥有大量已知的石油和天然气储量。根据石油和天然气管理局的一份报告，到2020年底，北海已知的石油和天然气储量达到44亿桶油当量。

根据石油和天然气管理局发布的2035年愿景，考虑到未来的勘探，从现在到2035年，可能会开采149亿桶石油当量。

Aker BP Makes Big Oil Discovery In The North Sea

Norway"s Aker BP has made a much bigger-than-expected oil discovery in the Yggdrasil area of the North Sea, the energy company reported on Thursday.

Preliminary estimates indicate a gross recoverable volume of 40 million-90 million barrels of oil equivalent (boe), much higher than the company’s earlier projection of between 18 million and 45 million boe.

The discovery will significantly enhance Aker BP’s resource base for the Yggdrasil development, which previously was estimated at 650M gross boe. The oil discovery is located within production licenses 873 and 442: In license 873, with Equinor ASA (NYSE:EQNR) and PGNiG Upstream Norway as partners. The plan for development and operations (PDO) for this project was submitted to Norwegian authorities in December 2022, with production scheduled to start in 2027.

The North Sea is home to substantial known oil and gas reserves. According to a report produced by the Oil and Gas Authority, known reserves of oil and gas in the North Sea at the end of 2020 amounted to 4.4 billion barrels of oil equivalent (BOE).

According to Oil and Gas Authority’s Vision 2035, taking into account future exploration, 14.9 billion BOE could potentially be extracted between now and 2035.
