石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据休斯顿彭博社3月14日消息，埃克森美孚计划将二叠纪的石油开采成本降低到15美元/桶左右，这一水平仅见于中东的巨型油田。 “埃克森的钻井规模意味着它可以将成本分摊到如此大的作业上，以至于该盆地将与世界上几乎任何地方都具有竞争力，”超级巨头页岩部门XTO能源总裁Staale Gjervik在接受采访时说。 在休斯顿IHS Markit召开的塞拉韦克会议期间，他表示，开发、运营和土地收购成本将“在15美元/桶左右”。 页岩革命使二叠纪成为世界上最大的页岩气田，产量超过400万桶/天，几乎相当于欧佩克第二大成员国伊拉克。但是快速的增长往往意味着生产商消耗现金流来再投资扩张，促使投资者呼吁他们在2019年更加关注回报。 埃克森计划今年在二叠纪部署55个钻井平台，这是迄今为止最大的一个钻井平台，因为它的目标是到2024年将该地区的产量增加5倍，达到约100万桶/天。它的战略还包括建设自己的外送基础设施，从分离罐到管道，甚至还加入了一个巨大的管道项目，以确保它的石油不会陷入曾使西德克萨斯州价格下跌的瓶颈。 胡晶晶摘译自彭博社 原文如下 Exxon aims for $15/bbl costs in large Permian operation Exxon Mobil plans to reduce the cost of pumping oil in the Permian to about $15/bbl, a level only seen in the giant oil fields of the Middle East. The scale of Exxon’s drilling means that it can spread its costs over such a big operation that the basin will become competitive with almost anywhere in the world, Staale Gjervik, president of XTO Energy, the supermajor’s shale division, said in an interview. Development, operating and land acquisition costs will be “in and around $15/bbl,” he said on the sidelines of the CERAWeek Conference by IHS Markit in Houston. The shale revolution has made the Permian into the world’s largest shale field, with production topping 4 MMbpd, almost as much as Iraq, OPEC’s second-biggest member. But the rapid growth has often meant that producers burn cash flow to reinvest in the expansion, prompting investors to call on them to focus more on returns in 2019. Exxon plans to deploy 55 rigs in the Permian this year, by far the most of any driller, as it aims to increase output in the region fivefold to about 1 MMbpd by 2024. Its strategy also includes building its own takeaway infrastructure from separation tanks to pipelines, and it’s even joining a giant conduit project to make sure its oil doesn’t get stuck in bottlenecks that have depressed prices in West Texas.
