Equinor is looking at a likely subsea tie-back of the Echino South discovery to existing infrastructure at the nearby Troll field after making the find in the mature North Sea off Norway.
A wildcat drilled at the prospect by semi-submersible Deepsea Atlantic unearthed between 38 million and 100 million barrels of oil equivalent in recoverable resources, making it one of the largest finds off Norway this year, according to the state-controlled operator.
