ADNOC称在阿布扎比近海发现天然气资源

据全球能源新闻网5月30日报道，阿布扎比国家石油公司（ADNOC）近日宣布在阿布扎比酋长国近海发现天然气资源。

埃尼公司运营的阿布扎比近海区块2勘探承租区的第一口勘探井的中期业绩表明，原始天然气储量在1.5万亿-2万亿标准立方英尺之间。

这一发现标志着阿布扎比海上勘探承租区的首次发现，突显出阿布扎比国家石油公司的区块竞标的持续成功及其战略合作伙伴关系的扩展。2019年，埃尼集团和PTT勘探与生产公共有限公司（PTTEP）领导的一个财团获得了海上2号区块的勘探权，这是ADNOC首轮区块竞标的一部分。

工业和先进技术部长、ADNOC董事总经理兼集团首席执行官Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber表示，海上2号区块的重大天然气资源的发现表明，ADNOC扩大战略伙伴关系的方法使我们能够加速阿布扎比未开发的碳氢化合物资源的勘探和开发，并在领导层明智的指示下为阿联酋创造长期价值。

海上2号区块位于阿布扎比西北方向，面积4033平方公里。该区块的发现得益于目前正在阿布扎比进行的世界上最大的陆上和海上三维（3D）大型地震勘探的新见解。

钻井作业继续深入地层，充分释放海上2号区块的资源量，并进一步探索整个区块以及海上1号区块和3号勘探承租区的潜力，这些勘探区也被授予给了埃尼和PTTEP。

这一成就是在2021年12月宣布在INPEX/JODCO运营的陆上4号区块勘探承租区内发现高达10亿桶石油当量之后取得的。

ADNOC分别于2018年和2019年启动了阿布扎比的第一和第二轮竞争性区块竞标，代表阿布扎比政府向国际公司提供了一系列主要的陆上和海上区块。根据详细的石油系统研究、地震调查、勘探和评估井数据的现有数据表明，估计这些区块拥有数十亿桶石油和数万亿立方英尺天然气。

ADNOC REPORTS NEW GAS DISCOVERY IN BLOCK II OFFSHORE ABU DHABI

The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) announced the discovery of natural gas resources offshore of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.

Interim results from the first exploration well in Abu Dhabi’s Offshore Block 2 Exploration Concession operated by Eni, indicate between 1.5 – 2 trillion standard cubic feet (TSCF) of raw gas in place.

This discovery marks the first from Abu Dhabi’s offshore exploration concessions, highlighting the continued success of ADNOC’s block bid rounds and its expanded approach to strategic partnerships. A consortium led by Eni and PTT Exploration and Production Public Company Limited (PTTEP) were awarded the exploration rights for Offshore Block 2 in 2019 as part of ADNOC’s debut competitive block bid round.

His Excellency Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and ADNOC Managing Director and Group CEO, said: “The discovery of material natural gas resources in Offshore Block 2 underscores how ADNOC’s expanded approach to strategic partnerships is enabling us to accelerate the exploration and development of Abu Dhabi’s untapped hydrocarbon resources and create long-term value for the UAE, in line with the Leadership’s wise directives.”

Offshore Block 2 covers an area of 4,033 square kilometers northwest of Abu Dhabi. The discovery in the block was enabled by new insights from the world’s largest combined onshore and offshore three-dimensional (3D) mega seismic survey currently underway in Abu Dhabi.

Drilling operations continue to reach deeper formations to fully unlock the resource volume in Offshore Block 2 and further explore the promising potential across the block as well as across Offshore Blocks 1 and 3 exploration concession areas, which were also awarded to Eni and PTTEP.

This achievement follows the announcement in December 2021 of the discovery of up to 1 billion barrels of oil equivalent (BBOE) in onshore Block 4 Exploration Concession, operated by INPEX/JODCO.

ADNOC launched Abu Dhabi’s first and second competitive block bid rounds in 2018 and 2019 respectively, offering a set of major onshore and offshore blocks to international companies, on behalf of the Government of Abu Dhabi. based on existing data from detailed petroleum system studies, seismic surveys, exploration and appraisal wells data, estimates suggest the blocks hold multiple billion barrels of oil and multiple trillion cubic feet of natural gas.
