埃尼在埃及西部沙漠发现更多储量并迅速投产

据石油新闻2020年7月28日伦敦报道，意大利石油巨头埃尼公司7月28日在罗马宣布，在位于埃及西南Meleiha区块的一口新探井投产以后，埃尼公司在该区块的石油日产量已提高至1.2万多桶。

SWM-A-6X新探井位于埃及西部沙漠法格胡尔盆地，在总深度达到15800英尺以后，其钻遇的纯产油层厚度达到了130英尺。埃尼公司表示，这口产油井已经与生产网络连接，目前日产油大约5000桶。

埃尼公司表示，在这口新发现产油井中还发现了新的石油资源，但埃尼公司没有对新发现的规模或这个区块的预估储量做出估计。

从西南Meleiha区块的石油生产在2019年7月开始，由于新发现的贡献，仅一年时间，该区块的石油日产量就上升到了1.2万桶。

埃尼公司在一份声明中称，“通过与埃及石油总公司组建的合资企业AGIBA，埃尼公司正在成功实施其在埃及西部沙漠的近油田勘探战略，并迅速启动新发现资源的生产。”

埃尼公司自1954年开始一直在埃及从事油气勘探和生产作业，是埃及国内最大的石油生产商，目前其权益油产量超过30万桶油当量/天。

截至去年年底，埃尼公司在埃及的探明油气储量为12.3亿桶油当量，其中液体储量为2.64亿桶。

Eni boosts output, finds more oil in Egypt's Western Desert

Eni has raised oil production from Egypt's South West Meleiha concession to over 12,000 b/d after bringing on stream a new exploration well on the block, the Italian oil major said July 28.

Exploration well SWM-A-6X -- drilled in the Western Desert's Faghur basin -- hit 130 feet of net oil pay after reaching a total depth of 15,800 feet. The well is already connected to the production network and pumping around 5,000 b/d, Eni said.

Eni said the well also discovered new oil resources but gave no estimate of the scale of the find or the block's estimated reserves.

Oil production from the South West Meleiha concession began in July 2019 and in just one year has ramped up to 12,000 b/d thanks to the contribution of new discoveries.

"Eni is successfully implementing its near-field exploration strategy in the Egyptian Western Desert through AGIBA, a joint venture with the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation, quickly turning on production of the newly discovered resources," Eni said in a statement.

Present in Egypt since 1954, Eni is the country's largest oil and producer with equity production currently above 300,000 b/d of oil equivalent.

Eni's proved oil and gas reserves in Egypt stood at 1.23 billion boe at the end of last year, of which liquids amounted to 264 million barrels.
