Drilling Activity Summary
Description
Equinor announced that it made two offshore Newfoundland oil discoveries. The two wells at the Cappahayden and Cambriol prospects in the Flemish Pass Basin have proven the presence of hydrocarbons; however, it is too early to provide specific information on volumes. The #1-Cappahayden well was drilled in about 1,000 m of water, and the #1-Cambriol well was drilled in about 600 m of water. Equinor was the operator for the wells. As part of the 2020 exploration campaign, Equinor has also drilled a top-hole at the Sitka prospect. Stavanger-based Equinor operates three discoveries with partner BP in the Flemish Pass Basin — Bay du Nord, Harpoon (discovered in 2013) and Mizzen (discovered in 2010).
