Equinor ASA said Monday that it and partners PGNiG Upstream Norway and Longboat Energy Norway have found oil in an exploration well in the Norwegian Sea.

The company said preliminary estimates from the 6407/1-9 - Egyptian Vulture well show that between 3 million and 10 million standard cubic meters of recoverable oil equivalents have been proven in the well, corresponding to 19 million-62 million barrels.

The discovery is the sixth Equinor has made on the Norwegian shelf so far this year, it said.

This is the first exploration well in production license 939, which was awarded in 2017.
