据离岸工程网12月15日报道 Equinor的一位高级管理人员周二表示，2022年Equinor将在挪威附近钻探更多的油气探井，以帮助维持公司未来的现金流。

Equinor挪威勘探部负责人Jez Averty向路透社表示，公司计划在挪威钻25口探井，今年为16口，重点放在其现有油田和平台附近的地区。

他说：“勘探是挪威大陆架未来价值创造的关键，未来价值创造是现金流的关键，现金流是实现能源转型的关键。”

Jez Averty表示，Equinor明年将在现有油田附近（包括北极巴伦支海）钻探约80%的探井，因为潜在的发现可能会在短时间内开发出来。

Jez Averty表示，计划在挪威开采的25口探井预计耗资3-4亿美元。Equinor公司的一位发言人表示，公司计划明年在美国墨西哥湾、加拿大近海、安哥拉和巴西以及俄罗斯陆上的东西伯利亚钻探10-13口井。

Equinor计划今年在全球范围内投资约9亿美元用于勘探，但其不再为2022年提供可比的指导。

Equinor to Drill More Oil and Gas Exploration Wells Off Norway in 2022

Equinor will drill more oil and gas exploration wells off its native Norway in 2022 than this year to help sustain the company's future cash flow, a senior executive said on Tuesday.

The majority state-owned company plans to drill 25 exploration well in Norway, up from 16 wells this year, focusing on areas near its existing fields and platforms, Equinor's head of exploration Norway, Jez Averty, told Reuters.

"Exploration is the key to future value creation on the Norwegian continental shelf, future value creation is the key to cash flow, which is the key to delivering on the energy transition," he said.

Equinor will drill about 80% of its exploration wells next year near existing fields, including in the Arctic Barents Sea, as potential discoveries could be developed in a short time, Averty said.

Averty said the planned 25 exploration wells in Norway were estimated to cost between $300 million and $400 million. Internationally, Equinor plans to drill around 10-13 exploration wells next year, including in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, offshore Canada, Angola, and Brazil, as well as in East Siberia, onshore Russia, a spokesperson for the company said.

Equinor plans to spend around $900 million on exploration globally this year, but it no longer provides a comparable guidance for 2022.
