Equinor's recent 9.4-14.5MMboe discovery at Drivis Tubåen adds to the Johan Castberg field's 450-650MMboe reserves, leveraging its $6.7B FPSO and subsea infrastructure to minimize development costs.

. With six new wells planned and the Isflak tie-in (2028), recoverable reserves could expand by 250-550MMboe, creating a low-cost, scalable production hub. Synergies with Vår Energi's Goliat-led drilling campaigns unlock underexplored Arctic prospects, while Brent's $90/bbl trajectory amplifies margins.
