Equinor has made two hydrocarbon discoveries in the North Sea, finding oil in the Troll area and gas and condensate near the Sleipner hub, with both considered commercially viable.
The Byrding C discovery was made about five kilometers northwest of the Fram field in the Troll area and is estimated to contain between 4 million and 8 million barrels of recoverable oil.
The Frida Kahlo discovery was drilled from the Sleipner B platform northwest of the Sleipner Vest field and is estimated to contain 5 million to 9 million barrels of oil equivalent of gas and condensate. The well is expected to be brought on stream as early as April.
Byrding C was drilled by the COSL Innovator rig in exploration well 35/11-32 S within production license 090 HS. The license partners are Equinor with a 75% stake and INPEX Idemitsu Norge with 25%.
