据哈特能源4月6日消息，意大利埃尼(Eni)集团4月6日表示，该公司以基础设施为主导的勘探工作，已在安哥拉近海Cuica 远景区发现了预计高达2.5亿桶的石油储量。
Cuica-1 NFW井位于Armada Olombendo FPSO (东部枢纽)附近，位于15/06区块，由Libongos钻井船钻探至垂直深度4100米。这家意大利能源公司表示，这口井在中新世砂岩中发现了80米长的轻质油柱，并描述其岩石物理性质良好。该地区水深约500米。
该公司在一份新闻稿中表示:“这一发现证实了该区块的勘探潜力，并证实了埃尼公司通过有效的专有技术和迅速将资源转化为生产的能力，进一步释放该地区的价值的坚定承诺。”
这家意大利运营商与Sonangol P&P(36.8421%)和SSI Fifteen Ltd.(26.3158%)合作，计划对该井进行上倾角侧钻，以获得最佳的生产井位置。
Cuica位于东部枢纽的海底网络附近，为快速对接铺平了道路。预计将在6个月内开始生产。埃尼称，数据显示，日产能可能在1万桶左右。
埃尼公司称Cuica是Cabaça开发区内第二个重大的石油发现。此次勘探胜利，是该公司在2020年疫情后勘探活动重新启动和油价暴跌后在该区块首次商业发现，此前在2018年至2020年期间，发现了Kalimba、Afoxé、Ndungu、Agidigbo和Agogo并进行了评估。
该区块也是埃尼运营的西部枢纽的所在地，该枢纽于2014年底开始生产。
埃尼表示，安哥拉最近将15/06区块的勘探期限延长了3年，至2023年11月。
埃尼表示:“自1980年以来，安哥拉一直是埃尼集团有机增长战略的关键。除了15/06区块的两个生产中心和正在开发的Agogo中心外，埃尼目前在勘探阶段的1/14区块(刚果近海下游盆地)、Cabinda Norte和Cabinda Centro区块(陆上)进行作业，并将很快增加其在纳米贝盆地近海28区块的作业面积。”

Italy’s Eni Makes Light Oil Discovery Offshore Angola
Eni’s infrastructure-led exploration efforts have led to the discovery of up to an estimated 250 million barrels of oil in place at the Cuica prospect offshore Angola, the company said April 6.
Located near the Armada Olombendo FPSO (East Hub), the Cuica-1 NFW well was drilled on Block 15/06 by the Libongos drillship to a vertical depth of 4,100 m. The Italian energy company said the well hit an 80-m light oil column in Miocene-aged sandstones and described the petrophysical properties as good. Water depth in the area is about 500 m.
“The discovery confirms the exploration potential of the block and Eni’s strong commitment to further unlock the value of the area through effective proprietary technologies and its capability to quickly turn resources into production,” the company said in a news release.
The Italian operator, working in partnership with Sonangol P&P (36.8421%) and SSI Fifteen Ltd. (26.3158%), plans to sidetrack the well updip for optimal positioning as a producer well.
Cuica’s location near the subsea network of the East Hub paves the way toward a fast-track tie-in. Production is expected to start within six months. Data indicate production capacity could be about 10,000 barrels of oil per day, according to Eni.
Eni described Cuica as the second significant oil discovery in the Cabaça Development Area.
The exploration win, the company’s first commercial discovery on the block following the post-2020 COVID-19 exploration campaign relaunch and oil price crash, follows the Kalimba, Afoxé, Ndungu, Agidigbo and Agogo discoveries as well as appraisals between 2018 and 2020.
The block is also home to the Eni-operated West Hub, where production began in late 2014.
Angolan authorities recently extended the exploration period for Block 15/06 by three years until November 2023, Eni said.
“Angola plays a key role in the strategy for organic growth of Eni, which has been present in the country since 1980,” Eni said. Besides the two producing hubs on Block 15/06 and the Agogo hub being developed, “Eni currently operates in exploration phase Block 1/14 (offshore Lower Congo Basin), Blocks Cabinda Norte and Cabinda Centro (onshore) and will soon increase its operated areas with Block 28 in the offshore Namibe Basin.”
