安哥拉旨在扭转石油产量下降局面

据离岸工程网站8月27日消息 据安哥拉国家通讯社报道，非洲第二大石油出口国安哥拉公布了2020-2025年能源规划，预计将开采高达570亿桶原油和27万亿立方英尺天然气。

周三晚些时候，该通讯社报告称，安哥拉将努力扭转该国1.88亿美元的经济收入下降趋势。

根据报告中引用的新油气勘探战略，安哥拉目前已探明的石油储量仅为70亿桶。

本周早些时候，国家油气机构Gas e Biocombustiveis (ANPG)发布的一份研究报告预计，从2008年开始，现有油田的原油产量将大幅下降，到2040年将加速至几乎为零。

但是，由于冠状病毒大流行造成的油价暴跌，道达尔、埃尼和BP等国际巨头今年的所有石油开采活动都陷入停顿。

道达尔本月宣布，其勘探活动已恢复，拥有一艘钻井船。卡塔尔石油公司与道达尔和安哥拉国家石油公司签署勘探协议，可能标志着国际社会对安哥拉具有挑战性的海上油田重新感兴趣。

据路透社船舶跟踪数据显示，Maersk Voyager 号在1月份与道达尔签订合同，钻探有史以来最深的油井，但4月份闲置，于周三开工，并将恢复工作。

Angola Aims to Reverse Oil Output Decline

Africa's second-biggest oil exporter, Angola, has unveiled a 2020-2025 energy roadmap which foresees oil discoveries of up to 57 billion barrels of crude oil and 27 trillion cubic feet of gas, state news agency ANGOP reported.

The plans involve $679 million in foreign investment and $188 million by the Angolan state, the agency reported late on Wednesday, part of an effort to reverse years of declining oil output and boost revenue for an economic reform drive.

Angola's proven oil reserves currently stand at just seven billion barrels, according to the new Hydrocarbon Exploration Strategy cited in the report.

A study published earlier this week by the state hydrocarbon body, the Agencia Nacional de Petroleo, Gas e Biocombustiveis (ANPG), projected a sharp decline in crude production from existing fields beginning in 2008 and set to accelerate to almost nothing by 2040.

But cratering oil prices wrought by the coronavirus pandemic saw all oil drilling activity by international majors like Total, Eni and BP grind to a halt this year.

Total announced this month that its exploration activity had resumed with one drillship, and the entrance of Qatar Petroleum into an exploration agreement with Total and the state oil company Sonangol may signal renewed international interest in Angola's challenging offshore fields.

According to Reuters ship tracking data, the Maersk Voyager ship contracted in January by Total to drill the deepest ever oil well, but idled in April, got underway on Wednesday and is set to resume work.
