bp启动雷马南扩建二期项目

　　中国石化新闻网讯 据NS Energy 9月29日消息，英国石油和天然气公司（bp）已开始在其位于墨西哥湾的雷马南扩建二期项目中进行生产。

　　雷马油田发现于1999年，是墨西哥湾最大的油田之一。

　　二期项目预计将从最初的两口井回接开始，将油田的年平均总产量提高到每天25,000桶石油当量。

　　该项目的整体开发包括总共钻探8口井。

　　雷马南部扩建二期项目的启动是bp努力的一部分，该公司希望到2020年代中期将墨西哥湾石油和天然气产量提高到每天约40万桶石油当量。

　　bp项目、生产和运营高级副总裁Ewan Drummond表示：“这是bp的另一个重要里程碑，完成了我们计划的2021年重大项目的交付。”

　　“我为整个团队以及他们对雷马南扩建项目第2期安全启动的承诺感到非常自豪。”

　　“这个项目是一个很好的例子，说明了我们在专注于高品位投资的同时，将继续提供快速回报、高回报的捆绑销售机会。”

　　雷马位于新奥尔良东南150英里（241公里）处，是bp在墨西哥湾最大的生产和钻井平台。

　　bp拥有雷马75%的股份，其余25%的股份由美国石油和天然气公司埃克森美孚持有。

　　该平台旨在每天处理多达25万桶石油和2亿立方英尺的天然气。

　　雷马南扩建二期项目是bp计划在2021年启动五个重大项目的一部分。二期项目也标志着该计划的完成。

　　最近，bp通过其英国石油特立尼达和多巴哥公司(bpTT)装置，从特立尼达海上的 Matapal海底天然气开发项目中获得了第一批天然气。

　　今年7月，该公司及其合作伙伴开始在阿塞拜疆海上价值280亿美元的Shah Deniz 2项目的东南侧进行生产。

　　BP starts up Thunder Horse South expansion phase 2 project

　　British oil and gas company BP has commenced production from its Thunder Horse South Expansion Phase 2 project in the Gulf of Mexico.

　　Discovered in 1999, Thunder Horse is one of the largest fields in the Gulf of Mexico.

　　The phase 2 project is expected to increase the annual average gross production from the field to 25,000 barrels of oil equivalent a day from the initial two well tie-back.

　　The overall development of the project includes drilling of a total of eight wells.

　　The start-up of the Thunder Horse South Expansion phase 2 project is part of BP’s efforts to grow its Gulf of Mexico oil and gas production to around 400,000 barrels of oil equivalent a day net by the mid-2020s.

　　BP projects, production and operations senior vice president Ewan Drummond said: “This is another significant milestone for bp, completing the delivery of our planned major projects for 2021.

　　“I am extremely proud of the entire team and their commitment to the safe start-up of Thunder Horse South Expansion Phase 2.

　　“This project is a great example of the type of fast-payback, high-return tie-back opportunities we continue to deliver as we focus and high-grade our portfolio.”

　　Located 150 miles (241km) southeast of New Orleans, Thunder Horse is BP’s largest production and drilling platform in the Gulf of Mexico.

　　BP owns a 75% stake in Thunder Horse, while the remaining stake of 25% is held by US oil and gas company ExxonMobil.

　　The platform is designed to process up to 250,000 barrels of oil and 200 million cubic feet of natural gas per day.

　　The Thunder Horse South Expansion Phase 2 project is part of BP’s programme to start-up five major projects in 2021. The phase 2 also marks the completion of the programme.

　　Recently, BP, through its bp Trinidad and Tobago (bpTT) unit, has achieved first gas from the Matapal subsea gas development offshore Trinidad.

　　In July this year, the company and its partners started production from the East South flank of the $28bn Shah Deniz 2 project, offshore Azerbaijan.
