Equinor discovers oil and gas near Tyrihans field offshore Norway

Equinor, unneurotic with its partners, has identified oil, condensate, and state successful the Tyrihans Øst prospect, located astir 250km southwest of Brønnøysund successful the Norwegian Sea.

The find was made done exploration good 6407/1-B-2 H, the archetypal good drilled wrong accumulation licence 1121, utilizing the Transocean Encourage drilling rig, successful 275m h2o depth.

The exploration drilling targeted 2 geological formations successful the Middle Jurassic period, the Garn Formation and the Ile Formation.

It reached a measured extent of 4,590m, with a vertical extent of 4,045m beneath oversea level.

The good encountered astir 6m of condensate and airy lipid file successful the Garn Formation, with sandstone exhibiting mediocre to mean reservoir characteristics.

In the Ile Formation, the good recovered a 63m state and condensate file wrong sandstone that displayed mediocre to bully reservoir properties.

The good was terminated successful the Ror Formation, besides wrong the Middle Jurassic sequence.

Preliminary estimates bespeak the find contains betwixt 0.2 and 1.3 cardinal modular cubic metres (mscm) of recoverable lipid equivalent, which equates to 1 to 8 cardinal barrels (mbbl).

The good was not formation-tested. It volition present beryllium temporarily plugged and abandoned arsenic portion of modular procedure, and the rig volition beryllium moved to drill a accumulation good astatine Åsgard.

Equinor and its partners program to measure the find for a imaginable accumulation good astatine the aforesaid site, with the volition of routing accumulation from Tyrihans to the Kristin installation.
