中国石化新闻网讯 据《能源年》网站8月28日报道，意大利能源巨头埃尼(Eni)周一宣布，该公司已经启动了位于科特迪瓦近海Baleine油田三个计划生产阶段中的第一个阶段。
第一阶段涉及Baleine FPSO的生产，其日产能为1.5万桶石油和70.8万立方米(2500万立方英尺)天然气。
该FPSO于2023年4月从迪拜出发，驶向该许可区。
该项目的第二阶段已经开始，最终投资决定（FID）于2022年12月做出，计划于2024年12月启动。
第二阶段将使用Voyageur Spirit FPSO将该油田的石油日产量提高到5万桶，天然气日产量提高到198万立方米(7000万立方英尺)。
第三阶段将石油日产量提高到15万桶，天然气日产量提高到566万立方米(2亿立方英尺)。
所有阶段的天然气生产将通过一条新建的管道输送到陆上。
Baleine的第一批石油是埃尼集团业务的一个里程碑。埃尼集团首席执行官Claudio Descalzi表示，“由于勘探取得了非凡的成功，我们从宣布商业发现开始，在不到两年内实现了行业领先的上市时间”。
该油田的开发已经签署了几份合同，包括与贝克休斯2023年6月签署的海底采油树合同，与Saipem于2023年3月签署钻井工作合同。
于2021年发现的Baleine油田，是该国最大的油气田，估计资源量为25亿桶石油及935亿立方米(3.3万亿立方英尺) 伴生气储量。
该油田延伸至CI-101和CI-802区块，埃尼与其当地合作伙伴科特迪瓦国家石油运营公司一起运营。
埃尼集团及其合作伙伴还拥有该国CI-205、CI-501、CI-401和CI-801区块的权益。

Eni starts production at Baleine field in C?te d’Ivoire
Eni has started up the first of three planned production phases on the Baleine field offshore C?te d’Ivoire, the Italian energy giant announced on Monday.
The first phase involves production from the Baleine FPSO, which has a capacity of 15,000 bopd and 708,000 cubic metres (25 mcf) per day of gas.
The vessel set sail from Dubai towards the concession in April 2023.
The second phase of the project is already underway, with the FID taken in December 2022 and start up planned for December 2024.
The second phase will up production from the field to 50,000 bopd and 1.98 mcm (70 mcf) per day of gas using the Voyageur Spirit FPSO.
The third phase involves raising production to 150,000 bopd and 5.66 mcm (200 mcf) per day of gas.
Gas production from all phases is to be delivered onshore through a newly constructed pipeline.
“The first oil from Baleine is a milestone in Eni’s operations. Stemming from an extraordinary exploration success, we have achieved an industry-leading time-to-market of under two years from the declaration of commercial discovery,” said Claudio Descalzi, CEO of Eni.
Several contracts have been signed for the development of the field, including with Baker Hughes for provision of subsea trees in June 2023 and Saipem for drilling works in March 2023.
Discovered in 2021, the Baleine field is the largest oil and gas find in the country with estimated resources of 2.5 billion barrels and 93.5 bmc (3.3 tcf) of associated gas.
The field extends over blocks CI-101 and CI-802, which Eni operates alongside its local partner Société Nationale d’Opérations Pétrolières de la C?te d’Ivoire.
Eni and its partner also own interest in blocks CI-205, CI-501, CI-401 and CI-801 in the country.
