埃尼在阿曼进行首次深海钻井作业

中国石化新闻网讯 据2月20日Offshore Energy报道，意大利石油和天然气巨头埃尼集团已经开始在阿曼海域钻探第一口深海海上探井。

消息人士证实，这家意大利公司确实已经开始在阿曼进行钻井作业。但是，没有提供进一步的细节。

据目前的消息可知，埃尼去年年底为阿曼一口深海油井的钻探雇佣了太平洋钻井公司旗下的“Pacific Bora”钻井船，租期估计为30天。该合同包括500万美元的调动费和500万美元的复员费。

此外，该合同计划从2月开始，到2020年3月结束，日租金为19万美元。这艘2010年建造的钻井船之前也曾为埃尼集团在尼日利亚的近海项目进行工作，日租金为15万美元。

埃尼公司是52号区块的运营商，该区块位于阿曼南部，是一个尚未开发的地区，有碳氢化合物开采的潜力。该区块面积约9万平方公里，水深从10米到3000多米不等。

早在2017年11月，阿曼苏丹国石油公司、阿曼石油勘探与生产公司(OOCEP)和埃尼集团就52号区块达成了勘探与生产共享协议。埃尼集团持有该区块55%的股份，其合作伙伴卡塔尔石油公司(Qatar Petroleum)和OOCEP分别持有30%和15%的股份。

Eni kicks off drilling operations on Oman’s first deepwater offshore well

Italian oil and gas major Eni has started drilling what is reportedly the first-ever deepwater offshore exploration well in Oman’s waters.

According to media reports earlier this week, Eni has started drilling Oman’s first deepwater offshore well.

What we do know is that Eni late last year hired the Pacific Drilling-owned drillship, Pacific Bora, for one firm well in Oman. The duration of the well was estimated at 30 days. The contract included a $5 million mobilization fee and a $5 million demobilization fee.

Further, the contract was scheduled to start in February and end in March 2020 with a dayrate of $190,000. The 2010-built drillship also previously worked for Eni offshore Nigeria under the dayrate of $150,000.

When it comes to Eni’s offshore presence in Oman, the company is the operator of Block 52, which is an underexplored area with hydrocarbons potential located offshore in the southern region of Oman. Block 52 has an area of approximately 90,000 km2, with water depths ranging from 10 to over 3,000 meters.

The Government of the Sultanate of Oman, Oman Oil Company Exploration and Production (OOCEP), a subsidiary of state company Oman Oil Company SAOC (OOC), and Eni entered into an exploration and production sharing agreement for Block 52 back in November 2017. Eni holds a 55% stake in the block while its partners Qatar Petroleum and OOCEP hold a 30% and 15% stake, respectively.
