據(jù)離岸工程網(wǎng)站5月11日消息 石油巨頭殼牌在休斯頓東南偏南約245英里（394公里）的美國墨西哥灣深水區(qū)的Leopard有重大發(fā)現(xiàn)。
據(jù)殼牌公司稱，Leopard井在多個(gè)層面遇到了超過600英尺（183米）的凈產(chǎn)油量，目前正在進(jìn)行評估，以進(jìn)一步確定開發(fā)方案。
殼牌深水區(qū)執(zhí)行副總裁Perdido Corridor表示：“Leopard擴(kuò)大了我們在墨西哥灣的領(lǐng)先地位，是我們核心投資組合中令人興奮的新成員，特別是考慮到它靠近佩爾迪多走廊的現(xiàn)有基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施和其他勘探區(qū)。”
他說：“由于美國墨西哥灣的產(chǎn)量是世界上溫室氣體排放強(qiáng)度最低的區(qū)域一，殼牌仍對墨西哥灣充滿信心，這一最新發(fā)現(xiàn)將有助于我們實(shí)現(xiàn)戰(zhàn)略，將重點(diǎn)放在有價(jià)值、高利潤的石油上，同時(shí)我們將上游的物質(zhì)現(xiàn)金流維持到2030年代。”
殼牌公司表示，Leopard發(fā)現(xiàn)是一個(gè)機(jī)會(huì)，以提高在佩爾迪多走廊的產(chǎn)量，殼牌公司的Great White、Silvertip和Tobago油田已經(jīng)投產(chǎn)。
Leopard位于OCS block Alaminos Canyon（AC）691，距離Whale勘探區(qū)以東約20英里（32公里），最近評估的Blacktip勘探區(qū)以南約20英里（32公里），距離Perdido 33英里（53公里）。
Leopard由殼牌（50%）運(yùn)營和雪佛龍（50%）共同所有。

Shell Makes 'Significant' Discovery in Deepwater Gulf of Mexico
Oil major Shell has made a significant discovery at the Leopard prospect in the deepwater U.S. Gulf of Mexico, some 245 miles (394 km) south-southeast of Houston.
According to Shell, the Leopard well encountered more than 600 feet (183 meters) net oil pay at multiple levels, and evaluation is underway to further define development options.
"Leopard expands our leading position in the Gulf of Mexico and is an exciting addition to our core portfolio, especially given its proximity to existing infrastructure and other discoveries in the Perdido Corridor," said Paul Goodfellow, Shell's Deepwater Executive Vice President.
"With our US Gulf of Mexico production among the lowest GHG intensity in the world, Shell remains confident about the GoM and this latest discovery will help us deliver on our strategy to focus on valuable, high margin barrels as we sustain material Upstream cash flows into the 2030s," he said.
Shell said that the Leopard discovery was an opportunity to increase production in the Perdido Corridor, where Shell's Great White, Silvertip and Tobago fields are already producing.
Meanwhile, Shell, one of the largest deep-water leaseholders in the US Gulf of Mexico, said that the Whale discovery, also in the Perdido Corridor, was progressing toward a final investment decision in 2021.
Leopard is located in OCS block Alaminos Canyon (AC) 691, approximately 20 miles (32 kilometers) east of the Whale discovery, 20 miles (32 km) south of the recently appraised Blacktip discovery, and 33 miles (53 km) from the Perdido host.
Leopard is operated by Shell (50%) and co-owned by Chevron (50%).
