Narrative:
The aircraft had previously flown that day. A two engine taxi was used and engine anti-ice used due to the temperature and dew point spread. Aircraft weight was 147.3 for takeoff. Normal engine acceleration was observed; auto throttles engaged and aircraft accelerated normally. Simultaneously; at V1; we felt significant compressor stalls accompanied by EPR fluctuations on the right engine. The captain immediately aborted the takeoff as I called 'engine failure;' remaining and stopping on centerline of runway. We notified the tower of our abort and our intention to evaluate the situation on the runway.after noting normal engine parameters and brake temperatures; we advised the tower that we could taxi clear of runway. Once we taxied clear; an announcement to the passengers was made; and then a cabin evaluation was requested of the flight attendants. The flight attendants advised no issues in the cabin. Further evaluation of the engine issue revealed no throttle response from the right engine; but it had normal idle indications and no vibrations were observed. Engine was secured and shutdown normally. The company was notified and a gate was requested. Brake temperatures were monitored and ATC cleared us to the gate. Company was notified to remain clear of main gear. Brakes began cooling during long slow taxi to gate. No emergency was declared.
