埃尼在埃及近海有新天然气发现

据阿纳多卢新闻9月17日消息称，本周三，意大利能源巨头埃尼集团宣布与英国石油公司合作，在埃及近海的尼罗河三角洲常规水域发现了一处新的天然气。

声明说，新的天然气发现位于水深16米处，距海岸5公里，位于2015年7月发现的Nooros油田以北4公里。

声明说，对钻井结果的初步评估表明，Great Nooros地区的天然气储量估计超过4万亿立方英尺(近1130亿立方米)。

埃尼和BP将与埃及石油部门合作，筛选这一新发现的开发方案。

自1954年以来，埃尼就一直通过其子公司国际埃及石油生产公司（IEOC Production）在埃及开展业务。IEOC目前的股本产量约为每天30万桶石油当量。

Eni announces new gas discovery offshore Egypt

Italian energy giant Eni on Wednesday announced a new gas discovery in the conventional waters of the Nile Delta, offshore Egypt in collaboration with British energy company BP.

The new discovery is located in 16 meters of water depth, 5 km from the coast and 4 km north from the Nooros field, discovered in July 2015, according to the statement.

The statement said the preliminary evaluation of the well results indicates that the Great Nooros Area gas in place can be estimated in excess of 4 trillion cubic feet (nearly 113 billion cubic meters).

Eni and BP will begin screening the development options of this new discovery in coordination with Egypt's petroleum sector.

Eni has been present in Egypt since 1954, where it operates through its subsidiary, IEOC Production. The current equity production of IEOC is about 300,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
