荷兰运营商减少北海油田的天然气生产

据7月13日Offshore Energy报道称，由于天然气价格较低，荷兰勘探和生产运营商Tulip Oil已经减少了位于北海荷兰区Q10-A气田的天然气产量。

Q10-A油田于2019年2月开始产气。开发需要安装一条从Q10-a位置到P15d平台的42km管道，以便出口。

在2020年第一季度，Tulip Oil从该气田生产了1.98亿标准立方米天然气。然而，根据最新消息，鉴于目前天然气价格较低，Q10-A油田的产量已部分减少，以保留天然气。因此，今年第二季度天然气产量已达1.19亿标准立方米。

第二季度实现的平均天然气价格为5.6欧元/MWh，上一季度为9.9欧元/MWh。

Tulip Oil说，目前产量维持在每天100万立方米左右。储层模型已经过校准，并继续为未来的两个Q10井做准备。

目前还采取措施，通过激活现有的第三方压缩设备，大幅度提高生产能力。闲置产能正与天然气价格前景一起管理。该公司补充说，它将继续成熟额外的新钻井目标，主要用于评估Q10-A油田附近的储层。

Dutch operator curbs gas production from North Sea field over low prices

Dutch exploration and production operator Tulip Oil has reduced its gas production from the Q10-A gas field located in the Dutch sector of the North Sea due to low gas prices.

The Q10-A field started producing gas in February 2019. The development required the installation of a 42km pipeline from the Q10-A location to the P15d platform for export.

In the first quarter of 2020, Tulip produced 198 million standard cubic meters of gas from the field.

However, according to Tulip’s update on Monday, the production from the Q10-A field has been partially reduced to “leave gas in the ground” in view of the current low gas prices.

As a result, 119 million standard cubic meters of gas have been produced during the second quarter of the year.

The average realized gas price was 5.6 €/MWh during 2Q compared with 9.9 €/MWh in the previous quarter.

Tulip said that the production is being maintained at some 1 million cubic meters of gas per day. The reservoir models have been calibrated and preparations continue for two additional future Q10 wells.

Steps are also being taken to increase production capacity substantially by activating existing third-party compression facilities. Spare production capacity is being managed in conjunction with the gas price outlook.

Tulip Oil added it continues to mature additional new drilling targets predominantly to appraise reservoirs near the producing Q10-A field.
