三大巨头联合开发Greater Ekofisk地区

ConocoPhillips, Statoil and Total have joined forces to collectively develop three oil and gas discoveries in the Greater Ekofisk area of the Norwegian North Sea.Upstream understands that licence partners in the Conoco­Phillips-operated Tor 2 and Tommeliten Alpha projects and Norwegian giant Statoil’s King Lear and Julius prospects have put together a team to study the possibility of a joint project under the name Greater Ekofisk Area. France’s Total, which holds significant interests in Tor 2 and Tommeliten Alpha, has joined the two operators in study work on the potential project, sources added. If these efforts succeed then a new development could emerge involving the exploitation of several hundred million barrels of oil equivalent in the Greater Ekofisk Area. The companies involved are reluctant to provide details about the work at present.
