據全球能源新聞網5月30日報道，阿布扎比國家石油公司（ADNOC）近日宣布在阿布扎比酋長國近海發現天然氣資源。

埃尼公司運營的阿布扎比近海區塊2勘探承租區的第一口勘探井的中期業績表明，原始天然氣儲量在1.5萬億-2萬億標準立方英尺之間。

這一發現標志著阿布扎比海上勘探承租區的首次發現，突顯出阿布扎比國家石油公司的區塊競標的持續成功及其戰略合作伙伴關系的擴展。2019年，埃尼集團和PTT勘探與生產公共有限公司（PTTEP）領導的一個財團獲得了海上2號區塊的勘探權，這是ADNOC首輪區塊競標的一部分。

工業和先進技術部長、ADNOC董事總經理兼集團首席執行官Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber表示，海上2號區塊的重大天然氣資源的發現表明，ADNOC擴大戰略伙伴關系的方法使我們能夠加速阿布扎比未開發的碳氫化合物資源的勘探和開發，并在領導層明智的指示下為阿聯酋創造長期價值。

海上2號區塊位于阿布扎比西北方向，面積4033平方公里。該區塊的發現得益于目前正在阿布扎比進行的世界上最大的陸上和海上三維（3D）大型地震勘探的新見解。

鉆井作業繼續深入地層，充分釋放海上2號區塊的資源量，并進一步探索整個區塊以及海上1號區塊和3號勘探承租區的潛力，這些勘探區也被授予給了埃尼和PTTEP。

這一成就是在2021年12月宣布在INPEX/JODCO運營的陸上4號區塊勘探承租區內發現高達10億桶石油當量之后取得的。

ADNOC分別于2018年和2019年啟動了阿布扎比的第一和第二輪競爭性區塊競標，代表阿布扎比政府向國際公司提供了一系列主要的陸上和海上區塊。根據詳細的石油系統研究、地震調查、勘探和評估井數據的現有數據表明，估計這些區塊擁有數十億桶石油和數萬億立方英尺天然氣。

ADNOC REPORTS NEW GAS DISCOVERY IN BLOCK II OFFSHORE ABU DHABI

The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) announced the discovery of natural gas resources offshore of the Emirate of Abu Dhabi.

Interim results from the first exploration well in Abu Dhabi’s Offshore Block 2 Exploration Concession operated by Eni, indicate between 1.5 – 2 trillion standard cubic feet (TSCF) of raw gas in place.

This discovery marks the first from Abu Dhabi’s offshore exploration concessions, highlighting the continued success of ADNOC’s block bid rounds and its expanded approach to strategic partnerships. A consortium led by Eni and PTT Exploration and Production Public Company Limited (PTTEP) were awarded the exploration rights for Offshore Block 2 in 2019 as part of ADNOC’s debut competitive block bid round.

His Excellency Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber, Minister of Industry and Advanced Technology and ADNOC Managing Director and Group CEO, said: “The discovery of material natural gas resources in Offshore Block 2 underscores how ADNOC’s expanded approach to strategic partnerships is enabling us to accelerate the exploration and development of Abu Dhabi’s untapped hydrocarbon resources and create long-term value for the UAE, in line with the Leadership’s wise directives.”

Offshore Block 2 covers an area of 4,033 square kilometers northwest of Abu Dhabi. The discovery in the block was enabled by new insights from the world’s largest combined onshore and offshore three-dimensional (3D) mega seismic survey currently underway in Abu Dhabi.

Drilling operations continue to reach deeper formations to fully unlock the resource volume in Offshore Block 2 and further explore the promising potential across the block as well as across Offshore Blocks 1 and 3 exploration concession areas, which were also awarded to Eni and PTTEP.

This achievement follows the announcement in December 2021 of the discovery of up to 1 billion barrels of oil equivalent (BBOE) in onshore Block 4 Exploration Concession, operated by INPEX/JODCO.

ADNOC launched Abu Dhabi’s first and second competitive block bid rounds in 2018 and 2019 respectively, offering a set of major onshore and offshore blocks to international companies, on behalf of the Government of Abu Dhabi. based on existing data from detailed petroleum system studies, seismic surveys, exploration and appraisal wells data, estimates suggest the blocks hold multiple billion barrels of oil and multiple trillion cubic feet of natural gas.
