Equinor和BP在加拿大近海发现新油田

    中国石化新闻网讯 据美国钻井网站奥斯陆报道，挪威能源巨头Equinor10月29日在奥斯陆宣布，Equinor和英国石油公司（BP）加拿大分公司日前在加拿大纽芬兰近海发现了两个新油田。

    Equinor在发给美国钻井网站的一份电子邮件中指出，今年夏天，《Transocean Barents号》半潜式钻机在加拿大Flemish Pass盆地所钻的两口井Cappahayden井和Cambriol井已经证实了碳氢化合物的存在。

    拥有60%权益的运营商Equinor补充说，现在提供这些井的具体储量还为时过早。这两口发现井位于距离圣约翰、纽芬兰和拉布拉多以东大约311英里(500公里)处的海域。

    Equinor负责国际海上勘探作业的高级副总裁Paul McCafferty说：“这些结果证明了我们团队的努力工作和奉献精神，特别是考虑到Covid-19大流行期间面临的独特挑战，他们执行了一项安全宣传活动并取得了积极成果。”

    Equinor称Cappahayden井和Cambriol井的水深分别约为3281英尺(1000米)和1969英尺(600米)。Equinor还指出，其2020年勘探计划包括在锡特卡远景构造钻一个顶部井眼。

    Equinor and BP Strike Oil Offshore Canada

    Equinor and BP Canada have made two oil discoveries offshore Newfoundland, Canada, Equinor reported Thursday.

    Drilled this summer by the Transocean Barents semi-submersible rig, the two wells at the Cappahayden and Cambriol prospects in the Flemish Pass Basin have proven the presence of hydrocarbons, Equinor noted in a written statement emailed to Rigzone. The operator, which owns a 60-percent interest, added that it is too soon to provide specifics on volumes for the wells – located roughly 311 miles (500 kilometers) east of St. John’s, Newfoundland and Labrador.

    “The results are a testament to the hard work and dedication of our team, who have executed a safe campaign with positive results – particularly considering the unique challenges faced during the COVID-19 pandemic,” remarked Paul McCafferty, Equinor’s senior vice president for international offshore exploration.

    Equinor stated the water depths for Cappahayden and Cambriol are approximately 3,281 feet (1,000 meters) and 1,969 feet (600 meters), respectively. The company also noted that its 2020 exploration campaign has included a top-hole drilled at the Sitka prospect.
