Equinor doubles Afrodite gas discovery estimate after appraisal well

• Equinor on October 29, 2026, reported recoverable volumes at the North Sea’s Afrodite discovery could exceed twice previous estimates.
• An appraisal well put recoverable gas and condensate volumes at 77 million to 180 million barrels of oil equivalent.
• The discovery is considered commercially viable, with a potential subsea development tied back to the Kvitebjørn platform under evaluation.
• Gas could reach the European market through existing infrastructure via the Kollsnes processing plant in Øygarden.
• Low reservoir permeability limits recovery, with total reservoir volumes about three times the estimated recoverable resources.
