BP计划在墨西哥湾深水区大幅增长油气产量进口肉干

中国石化新闻网讯 据休斯顿《World Oil》1月8日消息，英国石油公司已批准在美国墨西哥湾的亚特兰蒂斯油田进行一次重大扩建，并已确定了大量额外的石油资源，这些资源可能会在该地区运营的生产中心周围创造进一步的开发机会。

13亿美元的亚特兰蒂斯3期开发项目是英国石油公司通过其在海湾地区现有的生产设施提高优势石油产量的最新范例。最近英国石油公司在高级地震成像和储层特征研究方面取得突破，在亚特兰蒂斯油田发现了额外的4亿桶石油后，才批准了这一最新开发。

应用同样的技术和分析，现在已经在雷马油田发现了额外的10亿桶石油。在其他地方，纳基卡生产设施附近的两个新发现可能提供进一步的回接开发机会。

“英国石油公司在墨西哥湾的业务是我们提高优势高利润石油产抹灰工量战略的关键。英国石油公司（BP）上游首席执行官Bernard Looney表示：“我们正在建立世界一流的地位，通过技术、生产率轧面机和勘探成功，提升我们油田的资源。”“而且这些油田还很年轻，到目前为止，我们海湾地区的油气产量只有12%。我们可以看到许多进一步发展的机会，提供了在未来十年中及以后继续创造磷酸盐砖巨大价值的潜力。”

BP plans significant growth in deepwater Gulf of Mexico

BP has approved a major expansion at the Atlantis field in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico and has also identified significant additional oil resources that could create further development opportunities around the production hubs it operates in the region.

The $1.3 billion Atlantis Phase 3 development is the latest example BP’s strategy of growing advantaged oil production through its existing production facilities in the Gulf. The approval for this latest development comes after recent BP breakthroughs in advanced seismic imaging and reservoir characterization revealed an additional 400 MMbbl of oil in place at the Atlantis field.

Application of the same technology and analysis has now identified an additional 1 Bbbl of oil in place at the Thunder Horse field. Elsewhere, two new discoveries near the Na Kika production facility could provide further tie-back development opportunities.

“BP’s Gulf of Mexico business is key to our strategy of growing production of advantaged high-margin oil. We are building on our world-class position, upgrading the resources at our fields through technology, productivity and exploration success,” said Bernard Looney, BP’s upstream chief executive. “And these fields are still young – only 12% 天然胶of the hydrocarbons in place across our Gulf portfolio have been produced so far. We can see many opportunities for further development, offering the potential to continue to create significant value through the middle of the next decade and beyond.“
