据钻机地带4月7日消息称，壳牌周一透露，该公司在纳米比亚近海又发现了一处深水油田。
该公司在其网站上发布的一份声明中指出，壳牌、卡塔尔能源和纳米比亚国油（Namcor）“安全、成功地”结束了在PEL 0039许可证下钻探Jonker-1X探井的作业。壳牌强调，该井的钻井深度为6168米，水深为2210米，钻井作业证实了轻质油油藏的存在。
壳牌在声明中表示，需要进一步进行动态数据收集的评估活动，以表征岩石性质的可变性，并确定该发现的规模和可采潜力。
壳牌是PEL 0039油田的运营商，拥有45%的开采权益。卡塔尔能源持有45%的股份，纳米比亚国油持有剩余10%的股份。
壳牌纳米比亚公司主席Dennis Zekveld在一份公司声明中表示：“我们对进一步的深水发现感到鼓舞，这是我们在纳米比亚的第三个发现，我们很高兴确认井的安全结论。”
他补充说：“Jonker探井的成功再次表明了合资企业推进纳米比亚石油和天然气勘探的坚定承诺，并在去年的发现之后推进后续机会。”
“我们期待着继续与纳米比亚政府的良好合作。”他继续说道。
卡塔尔能源事务国务部长兼卡塔尔能源首席执行官Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi在评论这一发现时表示：“我们对这一令人鼓舞的发现感到高兴。”
他补充说：“我想借此机会向我们的合作伙伴壳牌公司和纳米比亚国油表示祝贺，并向纳米比亚表示祝贺和感谢，他们非常支持这次勘探工作。”
纳米比亚国油上游勘探主管Victoria Sibeya也对这一发现发表了评论，他说：“我们希望借此机会祝贺我们的合作伙伴壳牌和卡塔尔能源安全钻探Jonker-1X深水井。”

Shell Makes Deepwater Discovery Offshore Namibia
Shell revealed Monday that it has made another deepwater discovery offshore Namibia.
In a statement posted on its website, the company noted that it, QatarEnergy, and Namcor, “safely and successfully” concluded operations to drill exploration well Jonker-1X in the PEL 0039 license. The well was drilled to a total depth of 6,168 meters in a water depth of 2,210 meters, Shell highlighted, adding that drilling operations established the presence of a reservoir with light oil.
Further appraisal activities with dynamic data gathering are required to characterize the variability of rock properties and to determine the size and recoverable potential of the discovery, Shell said in the statement.
Shell is the operator of PEL 0039 with a 45 percent working interest. QatarEnergy also holds a 45 percent stake and Namcor holds the remaining 10 percent interest.
“We are encouraged by a further deepwater discovery, our third in Namibia, and pleased to confirm the safe conclusion of the well,” Dennis Zekveld, Shell’s Country Chair in Namibia, said in a company statement.
“Jonker again demonstrated the joint venture’s strong commitment to advancing oil and gas exploration in Namibia and to progressing follow-up opportunities after last year’s discoveries,” he added.
“We look forward to continuing our excellent collaboration with the Government of the Republic of Namibia,” he continued.
Commenting on the find, Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, the Qatari Minister of State for Energy Affairs and the President and CEO of QatarEnergy, said, “we are pleased with this encouraging discovery”.
“I would like to take this opportunity to congratulate our partners Shell and Namcor, and to congratulate and thank the Government of the Republic of Namibia, which has been very supportive of this exploration effort,” he added.
Also commenting on the discovery, Victoria Sibeya, Namcor’s executive of upstream exploration, said, “Namcor would like to take this opportunity to congratulate our partners Shell and QatarEnergy for safely drilling the Jonker-1X deepwater well”.
