石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据世界石油休斯顿1月8日消息称，英国石油公司已经批准在美国墨西哥湾的亚特兰蒂斯油田进行大规模扩建，并且还确定了大量额外的石油资源，这些石油资源可以为其在该地区运营的生产中心创造进一步的开发机会。 耗资13亿美元的亚特兰蒂斯三期开发项目是英国石油公司通过海湾现有生产设施提高优势石油产量的最新战略。最近英国石油在先进的地震成像和油藏描述方面取得突破成绩，并在亚特兰蒂斯油田又发现了4亿桶额外的石油，随后这项最新发展获得批准。 同样的技术和分析的应用使得目前已在Thunder Horse油田确定了额外的1百万桶石油。在其他地方，Na Kika生产设施附近的两个新发现可以提供进一步的回接开发机会。 “英国石油公司的墨西哥湾业务是我们增加优质高利润石油产量战略的关键。BP公司上游首席执行官伯纳德•鲁尼表示，我们正在建立世界一流的地位，通过技术、生产率和勘探成功来提升我们油田的资源。“而且这些油田还很年轻，到目前为止，我们在海湾地区投资组合中的油气产量只有12%。我们可以看到许多进一步发展的机会，有可能在未来十年或更长时间内继续创造更大的价值。“ 在过去的五年中，BP在墨西哥湾的净产量增长了60％以上，从2013年的不到20万桶增加到今天的30多万桶。英国石油公司目前是海湾地区最大的石油生产商，预计其产量将在未来十年中期增加至约40万桶。 最近的项目创业公司将支持这一增长，包括Thunder Horse Northwest和Thunder Horse South的扩张以及Thunder Horse注水项目，以及在Mad Dog油田增加第二个平台（Argos），这些都是预算之内并按计划于2021年底上线。 英国石油公司海湾海上油田未来的潜在开发项目包括亚特兰蒂斯4期和5期，Thunder Horse的进一步开发Na Kika海底连接和Mad Dog油田的扩建。 曹海斌 摘译自 世界石油 原文如下： BP plans significant growth in deepwater Gulf of Mexico BP has approved a major expansion at the Atlantis field in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and has also identified significant additional oil resources that could create further development opportunities around the production hubs it operates in the region. The $1.3 billion Atlantis Phase 3 development is the latest example BP’s strategy of growing advantaged oil production through its existing production facilities in the Gulf. The approval for this latest development comes after recent BP breakthroughs in advanced seismic imaging and reservoir characterization revealed an additional 400 MMbbl of oil in place at the Atlantis field. Application of the same technology and analysis has now identified an additional 1 Bbbl of oil in place at the Thunder Horse field. Elsewhere, two new discoveries near the Na Kika production facility could provide further tie-back development opportunities. “BP’s Gulf of Mexico business is key to our strategy of growing production of advantaged high-margin oil. We are building on our world-class position, upgrading the resources at our fields through technology, productivity and exploration success,” said Bernard Looney, BP’s upstream chief executive. “And these fields are still young – only 12% of the hydrocarbons in place across our Gulf portfolio have been produced so far. We can see many opportunities for further development, offering the potential to continue to create significant value through the middle of the next decade and beyond.“ Over the last five years, BP’s net production in the Gulf of Mexico has increased by more than 60%, rising from less than 200,000 boed in 2013 to more than 300,000 boed today. BP is currently the top oil producer in the Gulf, and anticipates its production growing to around 400,000 boed through the middle of the next decade. The growth will be supported by recent project startups, including Thunder Horse Northwest and Thunder Horse South expansions and the Thunder Horse Water Injection project, as well as the addition of a second platform (Argos) at the Mad Dog field, which is on budget and on schedule to come online in late 2021. Future potential developments at BP’s offshore fields in the Gulf include Atlantis Phase 4 and 5, further developments at Thunder Horse, Na Kika subsea tiebacks and Mad Dog field extensions.
