據(jù)世界石油網(wǎng)2023年7月28日報道，奧地利石油天然氣集團（OMV）7月28日宣布Wittau Tief-2a勘探井是一個已獲確認的新天然氣發(fā)現(xiàn)。OMV運營的這口勘探井位于奧地利南部，經(jīng)過5個月的鉆井作業(yè)，最終深度達到5000米。

OMV執(zhí)行董事會主席兼首席執(zhí)行官Alfred Stern表示：“我們勘探鉆井的積極成果對OMV及其客戶來說是令人興奮的消息。隨著我們繼續(xù)致力于實現(xiàn)天然氣供應(yīng)來源多樣化的戰(zhàn)略，這一新的天然氣發(fā)現(xiàn)標志著我們對客戶的天然氣供應(yīng)作出了重大貢獻，特別是在奧地利，預(yù)計我們在當(dāng)?shù)氐奶烊粴猱a(chǎn)量將增加。”

初步評估表明，發(fā)現(xiàn)井潛在可采資源量約為2800萬桶油當(dāng)量。在全面開發(fā)這個發(fā)現(xiàn)后，OMV預(yù)計其在奧地利的天然氣總產(chǎn)量將增加50%。

OMV目前正在考慮不同的方案來進一步評估這個氣田，并與OMV在阿德克拉運營的天然氣設(shè)施一起進行快速開發(fā)，該天然氣設(shè)施距離新發(fā)現(xiàn)約10公里。

這個發(fā)現(xiàn)是在OMV與bp簽署一份為期10年的液化天然氣買賣協(xié)議的同一天宣布的。

OMV makes largest natural gas discovery in 40 years in Austria

OMV announced the Wittau Tief-2a exploration well to be a confirmed new natural gas discovery. The OMV-operated well is located in lower Austria and was drilled at a final depth of 5,000 meters after five months of operations.

“The positive result of our exploration is exciting news for OMV and its customers. As we continue to work on our strategy to diversify our supply sources of natural gas, this new find marks a major contribution to the natural gas supply of our customers especially in Austria, with an expected increase of our local production,” said Alfred Stern, Chairman of the Executive Board and CEO of OMV AG.

A preliminary evaluation indicates potential recoverable resources of approximately 28 MMboe. After full development of the discovery, OMV expects its natural gas production in Austria to increase by 50%.

OMV is currently considering different options to further appraise the field, as well as a fast-track development in conjunction with the OMV-operated natural gas facility in Aderklaa, situated 10 km from the new discovery.

The discovery was announced on the same day that OMV signed a 10-year LNG deal with bp.
