Equinor's (EQNR) first offshore exploration well in Argentina's North Argentine Basin shows no sign of oil or gas, marking a setback for the local oil industry.
The contract follows Equinor (EQNR) and its partners' decision to invest more than $1.13 billion (NOK 12 billion) to advance the gas infrastructure in the Troll West gas prospect.
Equinor (EQNR) states that the additional well is a part of PL 827 SB in Norway and the drilling operations will be carried out by the Deepsea Atlantic semisubmersible rig.
