據(jù)美國鉆井網(wǎng)站2023年1月12日報(bào)道，英國石油和天然氣巨頭殼牌在位于英國北海南部彭薩科拉的高影響力井發(fā)現(xiàn)天然氣。

位于英國海上P2252許可證區(qū)塊內(nèi)被命名為41/05a-2的彭薩科拉勘探井由擁有65%開采權(quán)益的殼牌公司擔(dān)任作業(yè)者。

殼牌公司與三角洲能源公司和ONE-Dyas公司合作，三角洲能源公司和ONE-Dyas公司分別持有30%和5%的開采權(quán)益。

這個(gè)項(xiàng)目的合作伙伴三角洲能源公司在一份聲明中表示，作為彭薩科拉勘探井作業(yè)者的殼牌公司報(bào)告稱在儲(chǔ)集層中鉆遇了天然氣，并建議合作伙伴實(shí)施全面試井方案。

根據(jù)三角洲能源公司的說法，合資公司同意了作業(yè)者的建議，即進(jìn)行一次全面試井，以評估彭薩科拉遠(yuǎn)景構(gòu)造的商業(yè)價(jià)值，并更新地質(zhì)模型。

三角洲能源公司補(bǔ)充說，該公司將在完成試井后發(fā)布關(guān)于彭薩科拉高影響力井的鉆井更新公告，試井作業(yè)預(yù)計(jì)需要大約30天。

三角洲能源公司說，“我們很高興在彭薩科拉勘探井鉆井作業(yè)中間階段鉆遇了碳?xì)浠衔铩Ｎ覀儸F(xiàn)在期待著與作業(yè)者在試井項(xiàng)目上進(jìn)行合作，一旦試井項(xiàng)目完成，我們就會(huì)更新鉆井作業(yè)結(jié)果。”

在之前的聲明中，三角洲能源公司曾表示，該遠(yuǎn)景構(gòu)造可能擁有3090億立方英尺的天然氣儲(chǔ)量，地質(zhì)成功幾率為55%。三角洲能源公司認(rèn)為，這將使彭薩科拉遠(yuǎn)景構(gòu)造成為近年來天然氣盆地中最具影響力的勘探目標(biāo)之一。

Shell Finds Gas In Pensacola High-Impact Well Off UK

Oil and gas supermajor Shell has encountered gas in the Pensacola high-impact well in the Southern North Sea.

The Pensacola exploration well, otherwise designated as 41/05a-2, on the P2252 license is operated by Shell which has a 65 percent interest.

Shell is partnered with Deltic Energy which holds 30 percent and ONE-Dyas which holds the remaining 5 percent of working interests.

Deltic Energy, the partner in the project, said in a statement that Shell, as the operator of the Pensacola exploration well reported that gas had been encountered in the reservoir and had recommended to the joint venture partners that a full well testing program be undertaken.

According to the company, the JV endorsed the operator's recommendation to undertake a full well test to evaluate the commerciality of the Pensacola prospect and update the geological model.

Deltic added that it would provide a drilling update announcement in respect of Pensacola on completion of well testing which is expected to take approximately 30 days.

In previous statements, Deltic stated that the prospect could contain gross P50 Prospective Resources of 309 billion cubic feet of gas, with a 55 percent geological chance of success. This, Deltic believes, would put Pensacola as one of the highest-impact exploration targets to be drilled in the gas basin in recent years.
