苏里南海上3个新发现估计拥有14亿桶油当量资源

据今日石油2020年9月21日报道，挪威著名能源研究和商业情报公司雷斯塔能源公司（Rystad energy）说，到目前为止，在苏里南海上获得的3个新石油发现估计蕴藏着将近14亿桶油当量的油气资源。

Maka Central-1井和Sapakara West-1是最早获得的两个石油发现，据报道，经过进一步评估，这两个石油发现具有加速开发首批石油的潜力。运营商美国阿帕奇公司报告称，在Kwaskwsi -1井获得的第3个石油发现是迄今为止所钻的最好的发现井。

雷斯塔能源公司上游研究副总裁Sonya Boodoo说，在第58号区块中获得的3个石油发现估计拥有14亿桶油当量的油气资源。这些都是雷斯塔能源公司基于每次发现的净远景区做出的估算。

她说，雷斯塔能源公司估计Kwaskwasi发现的可采油当量资源为7.28亿桶。“我们认为，Maka Central发现大约有4亿桶油当量资源，而Sapakara West发现大约有2.5亿桶油当量资源。”

Boodoo表示，目前苏里南两个陆上油田的日产量约为1.6万至2万桶。“如果这3个最新石油发现被开发，它将导致苏里南石油产量的显著增加。如果按照我们认为的方式开发，我们可以看到这些油田的最高平均日产量为45万桶左右。”

阿帕奇公司日前表示，Noble Sam Croft号钻井船已经在Keskesi East-1探井开始钻井作业，该探井位于Sapakara West-1井东南大约14公里处海域。

第58号区块位于圭亚那和苏里南接壤的边界上，这表明它可能与埃克森美孚公司在圭亚那发现的储量相似。

阿帕奇公司持有第58号区块50%的开采权益，并将继续担任Keskesi井的作业者。道达尔公司持有剩余的50%的开采权益。

Suriname oil discoveries estimated at 1.4 billion barrels – Rystad Energy

Norway-based independent energy research and business intelligence company, Rystad Energy, says the three discoveries made offshore Suriname to date are estimated to contain combined oil equivalent resources of almost 1.4 billion barrels.

Maka Central-1 and Sapakara West-1 were the first two discoveries and are reportedly significant with the potential for accelerated first oil subjected to further evaluation. Operator Apache has reported that the third discovery at Kwaskwasi-1 was the best well drilled to date.

“The three discoveries made in Block 58 have estimated about 1.4 billion barrels of oil equivalent resources. These are Rystad Energy’s estimates based on the net pay in each discovery,” said Sonya Boodoo, Vice President of Upstream Research at Rystad Energy.

She said Rystad Energy estimates the Kwaskwasi discovery at 728 million barrels of recoverable oil equivalent resources. “We think that Maka Central has around 400 million barrels of oil equivalent and we think Sapakara West has around 250.”

Boodoo said current production in Suriname from two onshore fields stands at around 16,000 to 20,000 barrels of oil per day. “If the three recent discoveries are developed this will result in a significant increase in production. If it is developed in the way we think it would, we can see production from them averaging around 450,000 barrels per day at the peak.”

Apache Corporation said last week the Noble Sam Croft drill ship has commenced operations at the Keskesi East-1 exploration well, approximately 14 kilometers (9 miles) southeast of Sapakara West-1. The Keskesi well will test upper Cretaceous targets in the Campanian and Santonian.

Block 58 lies along the Guyana/Suriname border, suggesting it may share similar reservoir qualities as the vast resource footprint ExxonMobil has uncovered in Guyana.

Apache holds a 50% working interest in Block 58 and will continue to be the operator through the completion of the Keskesi well. Total S.A. holds the remaining 50% working interest.
