低油价可能使得加拿大新油田的发现徘徊不前
根据加拿大纽芬兰和拉布拉多政府最新地震报告,加拿大东部海上深水油田可能拥有255亿桶的原油,可能会成为该国最大的海上资源。但是,在纽芬兰东北300km的海上West Orphan盆地,政府仍在为如何吸引投资者参加11月的招标而努力,原因是长期的低油价,造成投资者兴趣不大。该地区钻一口勘探井,需要花费2~2.5亿美元。该报告还指出,该盆地具有20.6万亿立方英尺的天然气。(路透社,Rigzone,8月26日消息)

数十亿美元的并购又回到了谈判桌。Wood Mackenzie报道,随着油价恢复、市场预期也逐渐稳定,7月全球宣布并购交易超过110亿美元。这是今年月并购交易最高的一个月,自5月以来,并购交易总额达到320亿美元,是前三个月的三倍。根据咨询企业报告,今后随着油价稳定,并购交易将继续加速增长。Exxon Mobil上个月以36亿美元收购了Inter Oil Corp,此外,近期还在与Eni谈判收购其莫桑比克项目的股份。Statoil上个月同意以25亿美元收购巴西国家石油公司一个石油区块,这是该公司自2011年以来最大并购交易。随着油价逐步稳定,油气并购市场还将会继续活跃。(小编点评:不知道这两年中国公司在国际油气并购市场跑到哪里去了?油价高的时候大肆收购,现在油气价格暴跌,油气资产价值大幅度缩水,但是很少看到中国公司出手并购?为什么?有钱乎?缺钱乎?)(彭博社,Rigzone,8月26日消息)
为了在低油价下寻找发大财的机会,美国一些油气公司正在加强在俄克拉荷马州STACK和SCOOP地区的投资与勘探开发活动。STACK是指Sooner Trend Anadarko Basin Canadian and Kingfisher Counties,SCOOP是指South Central Oklahoma Oil Province。6月,马拉松石油公司(Marathon Oil Corp)称其将收购在STACK地区油气生产商PayRockEnergy Holdings LLC。马拉松石油公司收购STACK资产是该公司应对低油价战略的一部分。Devon公司也扩大了STACK地区的投资与加强油气勘探开发活动,这包括去年末以19亿美元收购Felix Energy LLC的阿纳达克盆地资产。Devon计划今年投资2亿美元进行勘探开发。新田公司(Newfield Exploration Co)也在该地区进行了勘探开发。这两个地区也将成为美国非常规油气勘探开发的又一热点地区。(Rigzone,8月25日消息)
在美国墨西哥湾进行油气勘探的Byron Energy将放弃位于路易斯安那州沿海的South Marsh Island第6区块。
Byron分别于2014和2016年在该区块钻取两口探井,发现油气资源,并记录测井数据。然而,今年六月该公司表示不会继续钻探SM6 #2号井。该井自三月起已被暂时弃置,原因是公司对该井的钻井孔机械完整性和钻井地质条件十分担忧。Byron称:SM6 #2号探井的钻遇压力大大超出预期,这意味着最大钻探深度下有遇到砂层的高风险。此外,公司还对固井作业忧虑重重,随后决定弃井。
向海洋能源管理局(BOEM)交回第6区块后,Byron将集中精力在South Marth Island 71区块进行油气勘探与开发。

U.S. Gulf of Mexico operator Byron Energy is relinquishing its South Marsh Island Block 6 Lease, located offshore Louisiana.
The company drilled two wells in the lease and found and logged hydrocarbons in 2014 and 2016. In June the company said it wouldn’t re-enter its SM6 #2 well which had been left temporarily abandoned since March 2016. The reason for not finishing the job at the well, Byron said, were concerns about the wellbore’s mechanical integrity and geologic conditions encountered while drilling. Byron said that the SM6 #2 well in 2016 encountered pressures that were much higher than expected, which indicates a high geologic risk of the presence of sand below the deepest penetration. In addition, concerns about the cement job in the SM6 #2 were high and the well was then abandoned.
After relinquishing the SM6 lease to BOEM, Byron will put its focus on its other lease at the South Marth Island Block 71.

VAALCO Energy, Inc.近日宣布位于加蓬海上钻井平台的Avouma2号井已开始进行潜油作业,现在的生产速度基本稳定。
正如之前宣布的那样,Avouma2号井的首次潜油作业失败。在开始二次潜油作业之前,VAALCO和电动潜油泵设备制造商以及安装商开展紧密合作,以优化启动程序。上周下泵成功启动后,潜油泵的性能保持稳定。油井的日产量达到了1850桶。在第一次潜油故障之前,油井能生产约2700桶石油。VAALCO目前可以在监测电动潜油泵性能的同时使油井保持低速率的流动。

VAALCO Energy, Inc. (NYSE: EGY) has announced that the secondary electric submersible pump (ESP) in the Avouma 2-H well on the Avouma Platform offshore Gabon in the Etame Marin Permit was recently started and the well is now producing at a stable rate.
As previously announced, the primary ESP failed in the Avouma 2-H well, and prior to attempting to start the secondary ESP, VAALCO and the manufacturer and installer of the ESP worked closely to optimize the startup procedure. The lower pump was successfully started last week and performance is stable with the well producing approximately 1,850 barrels of oil per day (BOPD) gross or 450 BOPD net to VAALCO. The well was producing approximately 2,700 gross BOPD or 660 BOPD net to VAALCO prior to the first ESP failure. VAALCO is currently flowing the well at a lower rate while monitoring the performance of the ESP.

Renaissance Oil Corp.近日宣布已签署许可合同,获得了墨西哥韦拉克鲁斯Ponton区块的开发权益。Ponton占地面积约12平方公里(2965英亩),现在是墨西哥的第四大油田资产。虽然目前没有生产,但Ponton之前已累计生产约80万桶的轻质原油。Renaissance正在制定新的油田开发计划,以对该区块进行重新规划并增加石油产量。特许合同包括整个区块的地层柱状图,Renaissance仅需额外支付21.39%的版税,这与公司的目标是一致的。
Renaissance还宣布90天的过渡期已经过去,现在公司对该区域拥有100%的运营权。随后公司又与PEMEX签署了Chiapas区块有关油气生产的买卖协议,以确保未来能够进入市场。该区块7月的总产量达到了1700桶油当量/天,其中包括约45%的原油。

Renaissance Oil Corp. (TSX-V: ROE) is pleased to announce the Company has entered into a license contract for the development of the Pontón block in Veracruz, Mexico. Pontón is approximately 12km2 (2,965 acres) and now the fourth property, in Mexico, to be operated by Renaissance. Although not currently producing, Pontón has cumulatively produced approximately 800,000 barrels of light oil (34° API). Renaissance is preparing field development plans with the objective to re-establish and grow production on this block. The Pontón license contract includes the entire stratigraphic column and was awarded to Renaissance with an additional royalty of only 21.39%, significantly contributing to the Company's objective of reducing the average royalty rate of its portfolio properties in Mexico.
Renaissance is also pleased to announce it has completed the 90 day transition period and has now assumed full operatorship of the one hundred percent (100%) held Mundo Nuevo, Topén and Malva blocks in Chiapas, Mexico (the 'Chiapas Blocks'). The Company has subsequently entered into a sale and purchase agreement with Petróleos Mexicanos ('PEMEX') for the oil and natural gas production from the Chiapas Blocks, ensuring access to market for future production. Aggregate production from the Chiapas Blocks for July averaged approximately 1,700 barrels of oil equivalent per day of which approximately 45% comprises crude oil.

Altura Energy Inc.近日宣布其已签署协议,将以400万美元的价格对阿尔伯塔中东部高质量的石油资产进行战略性收购。此次收购将使日产量增加125桶,同时未来还将建设相关基础设施以及天然气管道。收购自2016年8月1日起生效,预计将在2016年9月21日完成。
此次收购与Altura对于浅层、低成本、多区域中层油的追求是一致的。该资产还包括Upper Mannville地层125桶油当量/天的石油产量,以及距离阿尔伯塔的温赖特以西约40英里、集中在基拉姆地区的7.3净截面的土地资源。资产的运营率为100%,优质砂岩储层每年的油产量以10%的速率递减。管理层已根据目前批准的井距确定了12个水平钻井的位置。扩大该油田水冲采油试点区域也可以提高石油产量。

Altura Energy Inc. (TSX Venture: ATU) is pleased to announce it has entered into an agreement to purchase high quality oil assets strategically located in east central Alberta for cash consideration of $4.0 million, subject to customary closing adjustments. The Assets add 125 boe/d of low decline production and include facility infrastructure and a natural gas pipeline for future growth. The Acquisition is effective August 1, 2016 and is expected to close by September 21, 2016.
The Acquisition is consistent with Altura's return on capital strategy focused on acquiring under developed assets targeting the shallow, low cost, multi-zone, medium oil weighted section of the Upper Mannville. The Assets include 125 boe/d (55% oil and liquids) of 28° API oil from the Upper Mannville Formation and 7.3 net sections of land concentrated in the Killam area of Alberta, approximately forty miles west of Wainwright, Alberta. The Assets are 100 percent operated and have a low base production decline estimated at 10 percent per year from a high quality sandstone reservoir. Management has identified 12 Upper Mannville horizontal drilling locations based on current approved well spacing. In addition to the drilling inventory there is potential to improve oil recovery by expanding the pilot waterflood throughout other prospective areas in the field.

英国北海地区收入受各年波动及多种因素影响。这些因素包括石油价格、英镑对美元汇率、产量、经营开支、资本投资及现行的财政体制。近年来,大多数因素都使得收入下降。过去两年,石油价格下降更是起到了极大的作用。

Scotland’s illustrative share of UK North Sea revenue fell from £1.8bn ($2.37bn) in 2014-15 to just £60mn in 2015-16, reflecting a decline in total UK North Sea revenue, the new Government Expenditure and Revenue Scotland (GERS) statistics show.
North Sea revenue comes from four sources: petroleum revenue tax, corporation tax, licence fees, and the emissions trading scheme. UK North Sea revenue was £11.0bn in 2011-12, , but has been declining since, owing to lower production, rising expenditure, and, since 2014-15, lower oil prices.
North Sea revenue is subject to annual fluctuations and is driven by a number of factors, including the oil price, the sterling dollar exchange rate, production, operating expenditure, capital investment, and the prevailing fiscal regime. Most of these factors have been acting to reduce revenue in recent years, with lower oil prices in particular having an impact over the past two years.

8月24日,由中国石油和SPE(国际石油工程师学会)联合主办的2016SPE亚太水力压裂大会在京开幕。19个国家300余名油气行业企业管理者和专家学者共同交流研讨水力压裂技术的发展趋势和应用情况。发展高效益、低成本、环境友好型压裂技术,为油气产量增长释放巨大潜能,成为与会代表的共识。
中国石油集团副总经理、股份公司总裁汪东进出席开幕式并致辞。他指出,作为SPE活动的积极参与者、推动者和受益者,中国石油与SPE密切合作、相互支持,致力于业界专家学者开展广泛的学术交流与合作,共同推动油气工业的持续健康发展。近年来,全球油气市场供需格局重塑,国际油气价格持续低位运行,依靠管理和科技创新、技术进步获取竞争新优势,显得更加迫切。压裂技术与水平井技术的跨越式发展大幅度降低了开发成本,未来,油气勘探开发向“致密低渗透、深层、深水和非常规”领域不断拓展,对工程技术依赖程度更高,为水力压裂技术的颠覆性创新带来了机遇和挑战。放眼未来,加强创新与合作才能把握机遇、应对挑战,推动油气工业可持续发展。
与会代表们纷纷表达了对未来油气资源开发的信心和期待。本次大会技术委员会联席主席、美国得州农工大学石油工程系主任丹·希尔教授在开幕式上表示:“未来,更加完善的水力压裂技术将在全球范围内广泛普及,能够进一步提高油气开采效率。”
中国石油集团总经理助理李鹭光在主旨发言中介绍了页岩油气等非常规油气资源开发的历史和现状,国内压裂技术的发展与应用情况,以及水力压裂技术对油气工业产生的深远影响。2016SPE主席、壳牌中国代表分别阐述了水力压裂技术的应用情况及发展趋势。
参会代表有着不同的视角和感受。“水力压裂是油气增产的关键技术,在低油价下保证能源供应的同时降低操作成本,还需要不断推动技术创新。”一名来自中国石油勘探开发研究院的代表表示。来自斯伦贝谢的企业代表认为,会议为企业搭建了跟客户更好沟通的平台,有助于他们更准确地把握技术发展动向,优化生产管理。在中国石油大学(北京)等院校学生看来,这是一次难得的学习机会。
SPE致力于为油气、油服公司及科研院所等会员提供相关技术或服务,SPE技术大会始于1924年,是世界油气行业最高水平的专业性国际会议之一。近年来,SPE每年在全球范围内举办不同主题的专业技术会议,此次会议是SPE首次在中国举办水力压裂技术会议。
中国石油股份公司副总裁吕功训主持开幕式暨全体大会。会议将于8月26日闭幕,与会代表将在专题和技术分会上交流论文等学术成果。
