石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据今日油价1月9日报道，本世纪初，在2010年“深水地平线”(Deepwater Horizon)钻井平台事故发生后， BP和墨西哥湾对英国石油巨头来说是一个尴尬而不安的搭配。 近10年来，BP已经支付了600多亿美元的赔偿金，如今已将其在美国墨西哥湾的业务和重大生产和项目扩张计划转向下一个十年。 BP的两大增长支柱是提高现有中心附近油田的产量，并利用先进的地震技术和分析技术，更好地识别墨西哥湾油田的资源。 在过去的几年里，BP和许多其他主要石油公司一样，越来越多地使用先进的新技术来寻找更多的石油，同时降低了地震图像分析的成本和时间。 BP开发了Wolfspar地震源技术，该技术可以“看到”墨西哥湾盐层以下，从而更好地规划石油钻探地点。BP高管表示，这项技术可以获取低频地震信号，帮助BP估计亚特兰蒂斯、雷马和疯狗开发项目中还剩多少石油。 BP本周表示，由于拥有先进的专有地震成像技术和储层特征分析技术，该公司目前已在雷马油田确认了10亿桶石油储量，在亚特兰蒂斯油田确认了另外4亿桶石油储量。 BP表示，该公司增强地震成像的专有算法，使得原本需要一年时间分析的地震数据，在短短几周内就能得到处理。 孔丽炜 摘译自今日油价 原文如下： Earlier this decade, BP and the Gulf of Mexico was an awkward and uneasy collocation for the UK oil supermajor after the 2010 Deepwater Horizon disaster. Nearly a decade and more than US$60 billion in damages paid later, BP has now turned the corner in its U.S. Gulf of Mexico operations and plans for significant production and project expansion into the next decade. BP’s two key pillars of growth are raising production from fields close to existing hubs, and using advanced seismic technology and analytics to better identify the resources at its oil fields in the Gulf of Mexico. In the past few years, BP, like many other major oil companies, has been increasingly using advanced new technologies to search for more oil while cutting costs and time for seismic image analysis. BP has created Wolfspar, a seismic source technology that can ‘see’ beneath the salt in the Gulf of Mexico to enable better planning for where to drill for oil. The tech acquires low-frequency seismic signals and could help BP to estimate how much oil there is still left in the Atlantis, Thunder Horse, and Mad Dog developments, BP executives say. Thanks to advanced proprietary seismic imaging and reservoir characteristics analysis, BP has now identified an additional 1 billion barrels of oil in place at its Thunder Horse field, and an additional 400 million barrels of oil in place at the Atlantis field, the UK supermajor said this week. BP’s proprietary algorithms to enhance seismic imaging allow seismic data that would have previously taken a year to analyze to be processed in only a few weeks, the company says.
