埃尼将在两个月内开始埃及努尔气田天然气勘探

中国石化新闻网讯 据WENews.com网站7月1日开罗报道，埃及石油部发言人哈姆迪·阿齐兹周四对路透社记者表示，意大利石油巨头埃尼公司将在两个月内在其位于埃及西奈半岛北部地区的努尔气田（Noor field）开钻第一口勘探井。

今年3月份，埃及政府内阁批准了一项价值1.05亿美元的旨在勘探地中海西奈半岛北部地区的协议。

2015年，埃尼公司在埃及地中海发现了巨型气田祖尔大气田（Zohr），祖尔大气田估计拥有大约30万亿立方英尺的天然气储量，这引起了外国公司对埃及天然气勘探的兴趣。

阿齐兹说，埃尼公司还没有说他们预计努尔气田将拥有多少天然气储量，但这口探井将有助于开始确定这个气田的天然气储量。

Eni To Begin Gas Exploration At Egypt Noor Field In Two Months

Italian oil company Eni will begin drilling an exploratory well at its Noor field in Egypt's North Sinai in two months, Egyptian oil ministry spokesman Hamdi Abel Aziz told Reuters on Thursday.

Egypt's cabinet approved the $105 million deal to explore the North Sinai region of the Mediterranean Sea in March.

Eni's discovery of the giant Mediterranean gas field Zohr in 2015, estimated to hold about 30 trillion cubic feet of gas, has raised interest in gas exploration in Egypt.

The company has not said what level of reserves they expect Noor to contain, and the exploratory well will help to begin determine that, Abdelaziz said.
