安哥拉旨在扭轉(zhuǎn)石油產(chǎn)量下降局面

據(jù)離岸工程網(wǎng)站8月27日消息 據(jù)安哥拉國家通訊社報(bào)道，非洲第二大石油出口國安哥拉公布了2020-2025年能源規(guī)劃，預(yù)計(jì)將開采高達(dá)570億桶原油和27萬億立方英尺天然氣。

周三晚些時(shí)候，該通訊社報(bào)告稱，安哥拉將努力扭轉(zhuǎn)該國1.88億美元的經(jīng)濟(jì)收入下降趨勢(shì)。

根據(jù)報(bào)告中引用的新油氣勘探戰(zhàn)略，安哥拉目前已探明的石油儲(chǔ)量?jī)H為70億桶。

本周早些時(shí)候，國家油氣機(jī)構(gòu)Gas e Biocombustiveis (ANPG)發(fā)布的一份研究報(bào)告預(yù)計(jì)，從2008年開始，現(xiàn)有油田的原油產(chǎn)量將大幅下降，到2040年將加速至幾乎為零。

但是，由于冠狀病毒大流行造成的油價(jià)暴跌，道達(dá)爾、埃尼和BP等國際巨頭今年的所有石油開采活動(dòng)都陷入停頓。

道達(dá)爾本月宣布，其勘探活動(dòng)已恢復(fù)，擁有一艘鉆井船?？ㄋ柺凸九c道達(dá)爾和安哥拉國家石油公司簽署勘探協(xié)議，可能標(biāo)志著國際社會(huì)對(duì)安哥拉具有挑戰(zhàn)性的海上油田重新感興趣。

據(jù)路透社船舶跟蹤數(shù)據(jù)顯示，Maersk Voyager 號(hào)在1月份與道達(dá)爾簽訂合同，鉆探有史以來最深的油井，但4月份閑置，于周三開工，并將恢復(fù)工作。

Angola Aims to Reverse Oil Output Decline

Africa's second-biggest oil exporter, Angola, has unveiled a 2020-2025 energy roadmap which foresees oil discoveries of up to 57 billion barrels of crude oil and 27 trillion cubic feet of gas, state news agency ANGOP reported.

The plans involve $679 million in foreign investment and $188 million by the Angolan state, the agency reported late on Wednesday, part of an effort to reverse years of declining oil output and boost revenue for an economic reform drive.

Angola's proven oil reserves currently stand at just seven billion barrels, according to the new Hydrocarbon Exploration Strategy cited in the report.

A study published earlier this week by the state hydrocarbon body, the Agencia Nacional de Petroleo, Gas e Biocombustiveis (ANPG), projected a sharp decline in crude production from existing fields beginning in 2008 and set to accelerate to almost nothing by 2040.

But cratering oil prices wrought by the coronavirus pandemic saw all oil drilling activity by international majors like Total, Eni and BP grind to a halt this year.

Total announced this month that its exploration activity had resumed with one drillship, and the entrance of Qatar Petroleum into an exploration agreement with Total and the state oil company Sonangol may signal renewed international interest in Angola's challenging offshore fields.

According to Reuters ship tracking data, the Maersk Voyager ship contracted in January by Total to drill the deepest ever oil well, but idled in April, got underway on Wednesday and is set to resume work.
