Equinor has struck out again at the highly-touted Korpfjell prospect in the Barents Sea off Norway after a second wildcat bit the dust at a deeper target.
The probe at Korpfjell Deep was drilled as a follow-up to the initial well drilled in 2017 at the Korpfjell prospect in Equinor-operated production licence 859 that turned up only a non-commercial gas find, even though analysts earlier believed it to hold resource potential of up to 10 billion barrels.
