道达尔荣获全球最受钦佩上游勘探公司

据美国钻井网站2020年7月7日报道，根据伍德麦肯兹的最新年度勘探调查结果，法国油气巨头道达尔公司日前荣获了全球最受钦佩上游勘探公司的殊荣。

伍德麦肯兹此次调查询问受访者，除了他们自己的公司之外，他们最钦佩全球哪家上游勘探公司，但调查没有将问题限制在特定的时期或领域。法国道达尔公司是在今年在线举办的伍德麦肯兹年度勘探峰会上获得这一殊荣的。

伍德麦肯兹全球勘探研究副总裁安德鲁· 莱瑟姆在发给美国钻井网站的一份公司声明中表示：“在过去的12年里，伍德美肯兹在整理了我们行业领先的年度勘探调查后每年确定了全球业内最受钦佩的勘探公司。”

莱瑟姆说：“今年，我们的总冠军是法国道达尔公司。道达尔公司最近取得了一系列重大油气发现，包括在苏里南海上的石油发现。

莱瑟姆继续说，道达尔公司在南非海上还完成了首个大型凝析气田布鲁尔帕达发现。道达尔公司在塞浦路斯获得了巨型天然气田Glaucus发现和其它发现，在墨西哥湾侏罗纪地层中获得了最大发现Ballymore发现，在英国获得了重大的Glendronach和Glengorm天然气发现，还有许多其它的发现。

莱瑟姆指出，想要赢得这个殊荣的公司需要有重大发现，最理想的是作为运营商，最理想的是在新领域。在评选的前5年里，英国图洛石油公司每年都获得了这个奖项。随后美国阿纳达科石油公司连续两年摘得此桂冠，随后意大利埃尼公司上演帽子戏法，而美国埃克森美孚公司赢得了一次殊荣。

伍德麦肯兹在颁奖典礼上还颁发了其他3个奖项，包括年度发现奖，年度新冒险者奖和能源转型最适应奖。美国独立的阿帕奇公司凭借苏里南Maka Central发现夺得了年度发现奖，卡塔尔石油公司获得了年度新冒险者奖，而荷兰皇家壳牌公司被评为最适合能源转型的勘探公司。

Who is the Most Admired Upstream Explorer?

The answer to that question is French oil and gas major Total, according to Wood Mackenzie’s (WoodMac) latest annual exploration survey.

The survey asked respondents which explorer, aside from their own company, they most admired, without restricting the question to a particular time period or sector. Total was awarded the accolade at WoodMac’s annual exploration summit, which was held online this year.

“For the past 12 years, Wood Mackenzie has named the industry’s most-admired explorer after collating the results of our industry-leading annual exploration survey,” Andrew Latham, WoodMac’s vice president of global exploration research, said in a company statement which was sent to Rigzone.

“This year, our overall winner is Total. Total has enjoyed a string of big wins recently, including offshore Suriname,” he added in the statement.

“It also completed the play-opening Brulpadda find in South Africa. Total is in Glaucus and others in Cyprus, Ballymore in the Gulf of Mexico Jurassic, Glendronach and Glengorm in the UK, and many other finds,” Latham continued.

Companies that want to win this award need to make big discoveries, ideally as an operator and ideally in new frontiers, Latham noted. Tullow Oil won the award every year for the first five years of its existence. Anadarko then picked it up for two years in a row, followed by a hat-trick for Eni and a single win for ExxonMobil.

WoodMac also handed out three other awards at its event. These comprised discovery of the year, new venturer of the year and explorer best adapted for the energy transition. U.S. independent Apache scooped the discovery of the year prize for Maka Central in Suriname, Qatar Petroleum was crowned new venturer of the year and Shell was named the explorer best adapted for the energy transition.

WoodMac is an energy research and consultancy company based in Edinburgh, Scotland. Established in 1923, the company has several locations all around the world.
