加拿大Valeura Energy公司在泰国近海的石油产量提升

据6月13日离岸能源报道，总部位于加拿大的油气公司Valeura Energy已经完成了其在泰国近海油田的填充钻井活动，这使得该油田的石油产量得以提高。

Valeura Energy于2023年6月13日星期二证实，该公司已经完成了Nong Yao油田的填充钻探活动，该油田最近从Mubadala Petroleum的子公司Busrakham Oil and Gas收购。Valeura在泰国G11/48区块的这个油田钻了两口水平井，Valeura拥有该油田90%的运营权益。

据该公司称，钻井作业是安全的，低于预算提前完成。这两口井在水平段分别遇到了约1000英尺和700英尺的净产油层，证实了钻前油藏模拟结果。这两口井已投入生产，初始总产量约为1350桶/天。

这家加拿大公司强调，除了2023年初Jasmine油田钻井计划的贡献外，新的Nong Yao油井在6月11日的总石油产量平均为23700桶/天，比公司投资组合中的四个资产较2023年第一季度的平均利率增长了约16%。

Valeura Energy总裁兼首席执行官Sean Guest评论道，“我们Nong Yao钻井活动取得了成功，其结果支持了我们的投资理念，即我们的资产有潜力通过增加产量和有针对性地加密钻井增加新的储量来进一步增加价值。我对团队在执行项目中的安全表现感到满意，他们对高效运营的承诺也得到了强有力成本和进度结果的证明。为了利用这一势头，我们已经调整了钻井计划，现在将在2023年只使用一个钻井平台来执行我们所有的钻井计划。这一变化构成了前Mubadala能源资产和KrisEnergy资产之间重要的运营协同作用。随着继续整合在泰国收购的业务，我们正在寻找更多提高效率机会，成为利益相关者增加价值的进一步途径”。

此外，Valeura解释道，Mubadala于2022年7月聘请的Borr Drilling的Mist钻井平台目前位于Manora油田，该公司计划在那里钻三口井，旨在提高油田的产量，并增加该资产的经济寿命。预计在2023年8月初完成Manora作业后，该钻井平台将转移到Wassana油田，进行该公司的五口井填充钻井计划。

Thanks to infill drilling campaign, more oil flows from Thai field

Canada-based oil and gas company Valeura Energy has wrapped up its infill drilling campaign at a field offshore Thailand, which has enabled it to ramp up oil production at the field.

Valeura Energy confirmed on Tuesday, 13 June 2023, that it had completed its infill drilling campaign at the Nong Yao field, which was recently acquired from Mubadala Petroleum’s subsidiary, Busrakham Oil and Gas. Two horizontal infill wells were drilled on this oil field in Licence G11/48 in Thailand, in which Valeura holds a 90 per cent operated working interest.

According to the company, the drilling operations were executed safely, below budget, and ahead of schedule. The wells encountered approximately 1,000 and 700 ft of net oil pay in their horizontal sections, respectively, confirming pre-drill reservoir simulation results. Both wells have come onstream as oil producers at a combined initial gross rate of approximately 1,350 bbls/d.

The Canadian player highlights that the new Nong Yao wells, in addition to contributions from the Jasmine oil field drilling programme earlier in 2023, have resulted in aggregate oil production rates from during the 11 days of June averaging 23,700 bbls/d (net to the company’s working interest), an increase of approximately 16 per cent over average 1Q 2023 rates from the four assets in the firm’s portfolio.

Sean Guest, President and CEO of Valeura Energy, commented: “Our Nong Yao drilling campaign has been a success and the results bolster our investment thesis that our assets offer the potential to add further value through increased production and new reserve additions through targeted infill drilling. I am pleased with the team’s safety performance in executing the programme and their commitment to efficient operations as evidenced by a strong cost and schedule outcome.

“To capitalise on this momentum, we have adjusted our drilling schedule such that we will now utilise only one rig to execute all our drilling plans in 2023. This change constitutes an important operational synergy between the former Mubadala Energy assets and the KrisEnergy assets. As we continue to integrate the businesses we have acquired in Thailand, we are identifying more opportunities for efficiency gains as a further way to add value for our stakeholders.”

Furthermore, Valeura explains that the Borr Drilling’s Mist rig, which Mubadala hired in July 2022, is now on location at the Manora oil field, where the company plans to drill three wells aimed at increasing production from the field and by extension, adding to the economic life of the asset. Upon completion of operations at Manora – anticipated in early August 2023 – the rig will move to the Wassana field for the firm’s five-well infill drilling programme.
