EQNR•EQNR•EQNR•EQNR•Appraisal drilling more than doubled estimated recoverable resources at Orlen’s Afrodite discovery to a mean 128 million barrels of oil equivalent from 50 million. Operator Equinor estimates a range of 77 million to 180 million barrels, depending on the development concept.
Appraisal drilling raised the mean recoverable resource estimate at Orlen’s Afrodite discovery to 128 million barrels of oil equivalent from 50 million. Operator Equinor estimates a range of 77 million to 180 million barrels, depending on the development concept.
The 25% stake acquired in February 2026 represents more than 32 million barrels of oil equivalent, with net recoverable gas resources attributable to the stake exceeding 4 billion cubic meters. A potential tieback to existing Kvitebjørn infrastructure could reduce development costs and accelerate first production.
