據世界天然氣網 4月27日消息，耗資90億美元的WND開發項目包括跨越地中海北亞歷山大和西地中海深水特許區塊的五個氣田。英國石油公司及其合作伙伴，與石油部合作，分三個階段開發WND。

　　Raven是在Taurus-Libra和Giza-Fayoum項目之后，這兩個項目分別于2017年和2019年開始生產。它向一個新的陸上加工設施生產天然氣，與現有的西尼羅河三角洲陸上加工廠一起。

　　英國石油公司周一表示，Raven油田目前每天生產約6億標準立方英尺天然氣（mmscf/d）。在高峰期，Raven油田有可能每天生產900 mmscf和30,000桶凝析油。

　　BP首席執行官Bernard Looney說。"在面臨諸多挑戰的情況下完成這一重大的多階段開發，證明了BP對埃及的長期承諾以及我們與合作伙伴和政府的良好工作關系。

　　"西尼羅河三角洲將為滿足埃及日益增長的能源需求做出重要貢獻，通過該國自身的資源提供具有成本競爭力和彈性的天然氣供應"。

　　英國石油公司北非地區總裁Karim Alaa補充說："如果沒有團隊的承諾和密切合作，Raven在一個極其困難的時期安全啟動是不可能的。

　　"與石油部和我們的合作伙伴一起工作，我們現在可以探索西尼羅河三角洲設施的潛在用途，開發未來的填充和附近的勘探機會"。

　　西尼羅河三角洲開發項目總共包括25口井，通過三條長距離海底連接線向陸上加工廠生產天然氣。

　　陸上設施--包括新的Raven設施--現在擁有每天約14億標準立方英尺的天然氣處理能力。所有生產的天然氣都輸入埃及的國家電網。

　　英國石油公司是運營商，在西尼羅河三角洲開發項目中擁有82.75%的股份，Wintershall Dea持有其余17.25%的股份。

　　BP flows first gas from third stage of West Nile Delta project

　　The $9 billion WND development includes five gas fields across the North Alexandria and West Mediterranean deepwater offshore concession blocks in the Mediterranean Sea. BP and its partners, working with the Ministry of Petroleum, have developed the WND in three stages.

　　Raven follows the Taurus-Libra and Giza-Fayoum projects, which started production in 2017 and 2019 respectively. It produces gas to a new onshore processing facility, alongside the existing West Nile Delta onshore processing plant.

　　BP said on Monday that the Raven field was currently producing around 600 million standard cubic feet of gas per day (mmscf/d). At its peak, the Raven field has the potential to produce 900 mmscf/d and 30,000 barrels per day of condensate.

　　Bernard Looney, BP CEO, said: “Completing this major multi-stage development in the face of many challenges is testament to BP’s long-term commitment to Egypt and our excellent working relationships with partners and the government.

　　“West Nile Delta will make an important contribution to meeting Egypt’s growing energy needs, by providing a cost-competitive and resilient gas supply from the country’s own resources”.

　　Karim Alaa, BP regional president for North Africa, added: “The safe start-up of Raven in an extremely difficult period would not have been possible without commitment and close co-operation from the team.

　　“Working together with the Ministry of Petroleum and our partners we can now explore the potential use of the West Nile Delta facilities for developing future infill and nearby exploration opportunities”.

　　In total, the WND development includes 25 wells producing gas to the onshore processing plant via three long-distance subsea tie-backs.

　　The onshore facilities – including the new Raven facility – now have a total gas processing capacity of around 1.4 billion standard cubic feet of gas per day. All gas produced is fed into Egypt’s national grid.

　　BP is the operator and has an 82.75 per cent stake in the West Nile Delta development, with Wintershall Dea holding the remaining 17.25 per cent interest.
