據(jù)油田技術(shù)2月22日消息稱，英國石油公司在墨西哥灣啟動(dòng)了赫歇爾擴(kuò)建項(xiàng)目。

赫歇爾是計(jì)劃于2022年在全球交付的四個(gè)主要項(xiàng)目中的第一個(gè)。赫歇爾擴(kuò)建項(xiàng)目的第一階段包括一個(gè)新的海底生產(chǎn)系統(tǒng)的開發(fā)，以及與Na Kika平臺(tái)相連的三口井中的第一口。在其高峰期，第一口井預(yù)計(jì)將使平臺(tái)的年總產(chǎn)量增加1.06萬桶/天。

bp運(yùn)營的井鉆深度約為 19000 英尺，位于 Na Kika 平臺(tái)東南部，距離新奧爾良海岸約 140 英里。該項(xiàng)目為未來的油井連接提供了基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施。英國石油和殼牌各持有赫歇爾開發(fā)項(xiàng)目50%的開采權(quán)益。

bp負(fù)責(zé)墨西哥灣和加拿大業(yè)務(wù)的高級副總裁Starlee Sykes表示:“BP通過將高質(zhì)量的項(xiàng)目上線，繼續(xù)擴(kuò)大其在墨西哥灣的地位。就像最近在墨西哥灣的其他初創(chuàng)企業(yè)一樣，我們與赫歇爾公司一起，利用現(xiàn)有的基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施來生產(chǎn)世界上最高效的一些石油。bp的戰(zhàn)略核心是將我們的油氣業(yè)務(wù)集中在這些高質(zhì)量的資源上。安全地、提前完成任務(wù)并在預(yù)算范圍內(nèi)完成任務(wù)，是對團(tuán)隊(duì)能力的證明。”

bp負(fù)責(zé)項(xiàng)目、生產(chǎn)和運(yùn)營的高級副總裁Ewan Drummond表示:“赫歇爾是我們繼續(xù)提供快速回報(bào)、高回報(bào)回接機(jī)會(huì)的一個(gè)很好的例子，我們專注于高質(zhì)量的碳?xì)浠衔锿顿Y組合。我要感謝這個(gè)團(tuán)隊(duì)，感謝他們在安全和早期執(zhí)行這個(gè)項(xiàng)目方面的承諾。”

BP starts up Herschel Expansion in Gulf of Mexico

BP has started up the Herschel Expansion project in the Gulf of Mexico.

Herschel is the first of four major projects scheduled to be delivered globally in 2022. Phase 1 of the Herschel Expansion project comprises development of a new subsea production system and the first of up to three wells tied to the Na Kika platform. At its peak, this first well is expected to increase platform annual gross production by an estimated 10 600 boe/d.

The BP-operated well, drilled to a depth of approximately 19 000 ft, is located southeast of the Na Kika platform, approximately 140 miles off the coast of New Orleans. The project provides infrastructure for future well tie-in opportunities. BP and Shell each hold a 50% working interest in the Herschel development.

Starlee Sykes, BP senior vice president Gulf of Mexico and Canada said: “BP continues to grow its position in the Gulf of Mexico by bringing online high-quality projects. Like other recent start-ups in the Gulf of Mexico, with Herschel we are tying into existing infrastructure to produce some of the most efficient barrels in the world. Focusing our hydrocarbons business on the highest quality resources such as these sits at the heart of BP’s strategy. Doing so safely, ahead of schedule and under budget is testament to the caliber of the team.”

Ewan Drummond, BP senior vice president, projects, production and operations said: “Herschel is a great example of the type of fast-payback, high-return tie-back opportunities we continue to deliver as we focus and high-grade our hydrocarbons portfolio. I would like to thank the team for their commitment in the safe and early execution of this project.”
