Equinor hopes to make 'pretty big' Namibia oil discovery STAVANGER, Norway, Aug 25 (Reuters) - Equinor EQNR.OL hopes to make a "pretty big" oil discovery in Namibia's PEL 90 exploration licence, the Norwegian company said on Tuesday.
Equinor last week announced it had bought a 17.4% stake in the Chevron-operated CVX.N prospect and that exploration drilling will take place later this year.
Equinor's head of international operations, Philippe Mathieu, on Tuesday told reporters that the company was hoping for a discovery akin to those made nearby by TotalEnergies TTEF.PA and Galp GALP.LS.
