Equinor has made an oil and gas discovery near one of the largest offshore fields in Norway, potentially adding resources to the field.
Energy major Equinor has made an oil and gas discovery near Oseberg, one of the top fields offshore Norway, which could add additional resources to the field, the Norwegian Petroleum Directorate said on Friday. Equinor and its partners in the license, Petoro, TotalEnergies, and ConocoPhillips, made the discovery about four kilometers 2.5 miles west of the Oseberg field in the North Sea. Discoveries were made in two different formations, Eiriksson and Cook.
The Oseberg field was proven in 1979 and came on stream in 1988. Crude from the Oseberg field is one of five grades from North Sea fields that are included in the Dated Brent assessment alongside grades produced in the fields Brent, Ekofisk, Troll, and Forties. As of June 2023, the U.S. grade WTI Midland was added to the Brent basket of crude grades.
