石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据迪拜普氏能源资讯5月28日消息，沙特阿拉伯国家石油公司(Saudi Aramco)已向哈里伯顿公司(Halliburton)授予非常规天然气增产服务的合同。沙特阿拉伯正寻求进一步减少国内原油的燃烧，释放出口或炼油的原油。 Aramco在周日的一份声明中表示，该合同将“进一步改善沙特阿拉伯国家石油公司的非常规资源项目”。该合同包括主要的水力压裂和油井干预行动。 这个非常规的项目涵盖了沙特阿拉伯的三个地区——北部的阿拉伯地区，东部省份的南部Ghawar，以及东南部的“Rub al-Khali”(空白地区)的Jafurah盆地。然而，问题仍然在于，这些非常规天然气资源能否以足够低的成本开采出来，从而使生产变得可行。 “我们欢迎他们在非常规资源方面的专业知识，我们对我们在这个重要的增长领域实现运营和成本效益的联合能力非常有信心，”Aramco首席执行官Amin Nasser说。 近年来，这家能源巨头把天然气作为重点，签署了一系列有关天然气项目合作的国际谅解备忘录。根据美国能源情报署(US Energy Information Administration)的数据，沙特阿拉伯拥有全球第五大天然气储量，拥有超过300个Tcf。但该行业仍不发达，主要是由于慷慨的能源补贴导致国内天然气价格被人为压低。 液体燃料继续占目前能源组合的一半。根据总部位于利雅得的联合组织数据倡议(Data Initiative)的数据，去年沙特阿拉伯的发电厂平均消耗了45.8万桶原油，6月份达到了68万桶的峰值。 政府希望在未来10年内将天然气的比例提高到70%，到2026年将目前的天然气产量增加一倍，达到23亿立方英尺每天。它在2016年处理了12亿立方英尺每天的历史最高产量，生产了8.3亿立方英尺每天的销售天然气。该公司去年6月发布的年度报告显示，2015年该公司的销售额约为8亿桶。 胡晶晶摘译自普氏能源资讯 原文如下 Saudi Aramco has awarded a contract to Halliburton for unconventional gas stimulation services, as Saudi Arabia seeks to further reduce its domestic crude oil burn, freeing barrels for export or refining. The contract, which includes major hydraulic fracturing and well intervention operations, will “further improve the economics of Saudi Aramco’s unconventional resources program,” Aramco said in a statement Sunday. The unconventional program covers three areas of the kingdom — North Arabia, South Ghawar in the eastern province and the Jafurah basin in the Rub al-Khali (Empty Quarter) in the southeast. However, the question remains over whether the unconventional gas resources are recoverable at a cost that is low enough to make production viable. “We welcome their expertise in unconventional resources, and we have great confidence in our joint ability to achieve operational and cost efficiencies for this important growth area,” Aramco CEO Amin Nasser said. The energy giant has in recent years made gas an increasing focus, signing a number of international memorandums of understanding for cooperation on gas projects. Saudi Arabia holds the world’s fifth largest gas reserves, with more than 300 Tcf, according to the US Energy Information Administration. But the sector remains underdeveloped, largely as a result of generous energy subsidies that have kept domestic gas prices artificially low. Liquid fuels continue to account for half of the current energy mix. Saudi Arabia burned an average of 458,000 b/d of crude last year in its power plants, with a peak of 680,000 b/d in June, according to the Riyadh-based Joint Organisations Data Initiative. The government hopes to increase the share of gas used to 70% over the next 10 years, nearly doubling its current gas production to 23 Bcf/d by 2026. It processed an all-time high of 12 Bcf/d of raw gas in 2016, producing 8.3 Bcf/d of sales gas. That was up from around 8 Bcf/d of sales gas in 2015, according to its annual review released last June.
