据彭博新闻社2023年4月24日报道,莫桑比克监管机构4月24日表示,意大利石油和天然气巨头埃尼公司正准备在莫桑比克开钻该国约8年来的第一口海上勘探井。
“West Capella号”钻井船已经开始在Raa-1井进行初步钻探,该井将勘探莫桑比克海岸附近可能出现的新油气盆地。钻井位置位于鲁伍马盆地以南约375英里(604公里)的Angoche附近,埃尼公司去年开始在那里生产液化天然气(LNG)。
目前还不清楚埃尼公司是否会在Angoche附近发现具有经济价值的石油和天然气储量,但此次钻探作业可能是埃尼公司对莫桑比克碳氢化合物行业新一轮投资的开始。埃尼公司于2018年与莫桑比克当局签署了A5-A地区的勘探合同,该地区属于莫桑比克第五轮油气区块拍卖。埃尼公司拒绝置评。
莫桑比克国家石油监管机构周一通过电子邮件表示,2015年年中,阿纳达科石油公司完成了莫桑比克最后一口海上勘探井。

Eni to drill first exploration well in eight years offshore Mozambique
Eni SpA, the Italian oil and gas major, is preparing to drill Mozambique’s first offshore exploration well in about eight years, according to the southeast African country’s regulator.
The West Capella vessel has already started initial drilling at the Raia-1 well that will explore what could be a new oil and gas basin off Mozambique’s coast. The target is near Angoche, about 375 miles (604 kilometers) south of the Rovuma basin, where the Rome-based company began producing liquefied natural gas (LNG) last year.
While it’s unknown whether Eni will find economic deposits of oil and gas off Angoche, the drilling could be the start of a new round of investments in Mozambique’s hydrocarbon industry. The company in 2018 signed the exploration contract with the authorities for Area A5-A, which fell under Mozambique’s fifth round of hydrocarbon block auctions. Eni declined to comment.
Anadarko Petroleum Corp. completed Mozambique’s last offshore exploration well in mid-2015, Instituto Nacional de Petroleo, the country’s oil and gas regulator, said by email Monday.
