BP公司在阿布扎比巴布油田开发天然气气顶装饰灯

中国石化新闻网讯 据普氏能源资讯11月13日阿布扎比消息称，英国石油公司一位官员周二表示，英国石油公司正在阿布扎比的陆上Bab油田进行研究开发天然气气顶。

英国石油公司中东地区总裁迈克尔·汤恩森德在阿布扎比举行的ADIPEC的简报会上表示，“我们在Bab油田的资产领先主要是在石油方面。我们正在进行大量的研究工作来研究如何做一个天然气气顶。”

气顶是油藏上方的气体层。通常情况下，一旦原油资源被开采，首先开发石油然后开采天然气，但Townshend表示BP正在寻找共同开发资源的可能。

他说：“在未来的十年里，你会看到更多的天然气，可能是10亿立方米或更多，这些都来自气顶。”

英国石油公司发布消息之前，阿布扎比国家石油公司发布了一系列声明，概述了该公司加大天然气勘探的承诺。

ADNOC的目标是成为一个天然气净出口国，并表示在尚未开发的气田中，其天然气储量估计总计为15万亿立方英尺。它的目标是到2030年底非常规天然气产量为10亿立方英尺/天。

该公司本周与道达尔、埃尼和沙特阿美公司签署了有关天然气的协议。

ADNOC上游主管Abdulmunim Saif Al Kindy在ADIPEC会议期间告诉普氏，埃尼获得Hail、Ghasha和Dalma这些区块25％的股份，预计将于2024年投产。

道达尔周日还签署了开发Ruwais Diyab非常规天然气的协议，并预计在几周内进行第一次水力压裂。根据道达尔勘探和生产总裁Arnaud Breuillac的说法，最早可能在一年后首次投产。

BP eyes gas cap project at Abu Dhabi's Bab field

BP is carrying out studies to develop a gas cap at its onshore Bab field in Abu Dhabi, a company official said T压力锅uesday.

"We have an asset lead on Bab principally around oil. We are carrying out quite a lot of study work on how you would do a gas cap," Michael Townshend, BP's regional president for the Middle East, said during a briefing at the ADIPEC conference in Abu Dhabi.

A gas cap is the layer of gas above an oil reservoir. Normally oil is developed first and then gas once the crude resource is exploited, but Townshend said BP is looking at options for co-developing the resources.

"In the next ten years you'll see a lot more gas, probably [1 Bcm] or more, coming from gas caps," he said.

The news from BP follows a series of announcements from state-owned Abu Dhabi National Oil Company outlining the company's commitment to ramping up gas exploration.

ADNOC is aiming to become a net gas exporter and has said it has an estimated total of 15 Tcf of gas reserves in untapped discoveries. It is targeting an unconventional gas production rate of 1 Bcf/d by the end of 2030.

The company inked deals with Tota造纸机l, Eni and Saudi Aramco this week related to gas.

Eni was awarded a 25% stake in the Hail, Ghasha and Dalma concessions with production from these blocks expected in 2024, Abdulmunim Saif Al Kindy, director of upstream at ADNOC told S&P Global Platts on the sidelines of the ADIPEC conference.

Total also signed a deal Sunday to develop the Ruwais Diyab unconventional gas concession and first fracking is expected within weeks. First produc电枢tion could be as early as one year from today, according to Arnaud Breuillac, the president of exploration and production at Total.
