埃尼集团在埃及近海发现天然气

据7月1日Offshore Energy报道称，埃尼集团已获得埃及北厄尔哈默德的第一口探井许可证，该探井位于在尼罗河三角洲的埃及水域，在一个叫Bashrush的地方。

意大利埃尼集团是该区块的运营商，英国石油和道达尔是合作伙伴。

埃尼集团周三表示，新发现的天然气位于22米水深处，距海岸11公里，西北距努罗斯油田12公里，距离巴尔的摩西南油田约1公里，两处都已在生产。

该井在Abu Madi组Messian砂岩中发现了一个152米厚的气柱，具有良好的岩石物理性质。目前，这口井将进行试产。

据埃尼集团称，Bashrush的发现表明，在埃及近海浅水区，梅西尼亚地层具有巨大的天然气和凝析油潜力，也将Abu Madi组储层的天然气潜力扩大到西部，这些储层是在所谓的“大努罗斯地区”发现和生产的。

Eni cheers new gas discovery offshore Egypt

Eni has successfully drilled the first exploration well in the North El Hammad license, in the conventional Egyptian waters of the Nile Delta, on the prospect called Bashrush.

Italy’s Eni is the operator of the block with BP and Total as partners.

Eni said on Wednesday that the new discovery is located in 22 meters of water depth, 11 km from the coast and 12 km North-West from the Nooros field and about 1 km west of the Baltim South West field, both already in production.

The well discovered a single 152 meters thick gas column within the Messinian age sandstones of the Abu Madi formation with excellent petrophysical properties. The well will be tested for production.

According to Eni, the discovery of Bashrush demonstrates the significant gas and condensate potential of the Messinian formations in this sector of the Egyptian Offshore shallow waters.

The discovery of Bashrush further extends to the west the gas potential of the Abu Madi formation reservoirs discovered and produced from the so-called “Great Nooros Area”.
