埃尼获得阿联酋陆上区块

据钻机地带4月20日消息称，埃尼公司周一透露，埃尼通过子公司埃尼哈伊马角公司获得了阿拉伯联合酋长国Ras Al Khaimah陆上的7号区块。

埃尼哈伊马角公司将担任该区块的运营商，该区块占地面积166平方英里，有90％的参与权益。Ras Al Khaimah的国家石油公司哈伊马角天然气公司将持有该资产的其余10％的股份。

埃尼在一份公司声明中说，7号区块位于一个复杂的冲断带地质环境中，与最近在邻近的沙迦酋长国发现的Mahani区块相似。该公司指出，新收购的3D地震技术将使合资企业能够评估该地区的地质环境，并最终释放其油气潜力。埃尼补充称，该酋长国现有的天然气处理设施将允许任何发现都得到迅速发展。

今年1月，埃尼宣布Mahani油田开始生产，该油田位于阿拉伯联合酋长国沙迦酋长国的陆上特许经营区B区。据悉，此举是进一步评估Mahani天然气和凝析油发现的第一步，该发现于2020年1月首次宣布。埃尼集团强调，据估计，Mahani气田拥有“重要”的天然气和相关凝析油资源。

根据埃尼网站的数据，在IOC于阿联酋拥有的业务中，埃尼目前拥有的最大的勘探面积，面积超过10000平方英里，包括横跨阿布扎比、Ras Al Khaimah和沙迦的8个陆上和浅海勘探区块。埃尼的网站显示，2019年，埃尼在阿联酋生产了1800万桶石油和凝析油，以及30亿立方英尺天然气。

Eni Awarded Onshore UAE Block

Eni S.p.A, through its subsidiary Eni RAK, has been awarded Block 7 in the onshore of Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates, the company revealed on Monday.

Eni RAK will act as the operator of the block, which covers an area of 166 square miles, with a 90 percent participating interest. Ras Al Khaimah’s National Oil Company RAK Gas will hold the remaining ten percent stake in the asset.

Block 7 represents an underexplored acreage in a complex thrust belt geological setting, similar to that of the recent discovery of Mahani in the adjacent Sharjah Emirate, Eni said in a company statement. The company noted that newly acquired 3D seismic will allow the joint venture to assess the geological setting of the area and eventually unlock its hydrocarbon potential. Eni added that the presence of existing gas processing facilities in the Emirate would allow a rapid development of any discoveries.

In January this year, Eni announced the production start up of the Mahani field, which is located in onshore Concession Area B of the Sharjah Emirate, United Arab Emirates. The move was said to be the first step in the further evaluation of the Mahani gas and condensate discovery, which was first announced back in January 2020. The Mahani find is estimated to hold “significant” resources of natural gas and associated condensate, Eni highlighted.

According to Eni’s website, the company holds the largest exploration acreage among IOCs present in the UAE, with more than 10,000 square miles comprising eight exploration blocks onshore and in shallow waters offshore across the Emirates of Abu Dhabi, Ras Al Khaimah, and Sharjah. Eni produced 18 million barrels of oil and condensate, and three billion cubic feet of gas, in the UAE in 2019, its website shows.
