赤道几内亚将在2021年加强勘探开发活动

    中国石化新闻网讯 据油田技术12月30日消息称，根据矿业和碳氢化合物部的消息，赤道几内亚将于2021年在Trident能源运营的G区块钻探三口勘探井，并对其他资产进行翻新和油井干预工作。

    Trident能源公司将于2021年在G区块钻三口井，预计每口井需要33天完成，预计于4月开始钻探。G区块位于赤道几内亚近海15公里处，是塞巴（Ceiba）和奥克梅（Okume）油田的所在地，该公司在2020年第一季度获得4D地震数据后，将为该区块带来新的开发机会。

    诺布尔能源公司将在10天内对其Aseng浮式生产存储和卸载（FPSO）装置进行翻新工作，目的是维护基础设施的安全性、可靠性和生产率，并遵守ABS(美国领先的离岸船级社)的规定。5P井和WI-1井也将进行油井干预工作。

    与此同时，萨菲洛、杰德和思普缇娜基础设施将进行维护工作，并在2022年杰德平台修井之前进行执行计划活动，同时还将优化闲置井的生产和管理。作为该国最多产的资产，由埃克森美孚运营的萨菲洛油田通过杰德固定生产和钻井平台和思普缇娜FPSO每日生产9万桶石油（COVID-19以前的水平）。

    截至10月，2020年该国原油总产量为3515万桶，平均日产量为115250桶。凝析油总产量为948万桶，平均日产量为31079桶。能源部的目标是促进外国资本的流入，并使运营商能够在2021年开展资本密集型的勘探开发活动，从而提高油气产量。

    Equatorial Guinea set to intensify E&P activity in 2021

    Equatorial Guinea will see three exploration wells drilled in Trident Energy-operated Block G in 2021, along with refurbishment and well intervention works across other assets, according to the Ministry of Mines and Hydrocarbons.

    Trident Energy will drill three wells in Block G in 2021 – each of which is expected to take 33 days to complete – with an estimated start date in April. Located 15 km offshore Equatorial Guinea, Block G is home to the Ceiba and Okume fields, and is set to yield new development opportunities following the company’s acquisition of 4D seismic in 1Q20.

    Noble Energy will conduct refurbishment work on its Aseng floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) unit over a period of 10 days, with the objective of maintaining safety, reliability and productivity of the infrastructure, as well as complying with regulations of the ABS (leading US offshore classification society). Intervention works will also be carried out in wells 5P and WI-1.

    Meanwhile, maintenance works will be conducted on the Zafiro, Jade and Serpentina infrastructures, with execution planning activities carried out ahead of well repairs on the Jade Platform by 2022, along with optimization of production and management of inactive wells. Serving as the country’s most prolific asset, the ExxonMobil-operated Zafiro field was producing 90 000 bpd (pre-COVID-19) via the Jade fixed production and drilling platform and Serpentina FPSO.

    As of October, total crude oil production in the country in 2020 stands at 35.15 million bbl, translating to an average daily production of 115 250 bpd. Total condensate production amounts to 9.48 million bbl, translating to an average daily production of 31 079 boe/d. The Ministry has set its sights on boosting hydrocarbon output by facilitating the influx of foreign capital and enabling operators to carry out capital-intensive E&P activities in 2021.
