近海勘探项目重振安哥拉石油产业

原标题：近海勘探项目重振安哥拉石油产业

中国石化新闻网讯 据世界石油1月17日报道，安哥拉境况不佳的石油行业本周获得了提振，埃尼(Eni SpA)和道达尔(Total SA)均对这个欧佩克产油国做出了承诺。

埃尼集团在Agogo-1深水油田开始生产，并获得了纳米贝盆地第28区块的勘探权，而在安哥拉活跃了60多年的道达尔则获得了第29区块的勘探权。咨询公司Rystad Energy AS表示，如果这个位于非洲西南部的国家想要重振石油产量，获得新的油气发现至关重要。

Rystad在一份报告中表示:“通过新的发现来增加资源产量似乎是唯一的出路。”报告称，如果没有新的发现，到2025年，石油日产量可能会降至100万桶以下。

过去10年，安哥拉石油产量下降了三分之一，每日不足140万桶，反映出多年来对新项目的投资不足。安哥拉大部分的收入依赖于石油出口，为了吸引投资和扭转经济下滑的趋势，政府推出了减税和设立独立监管机构等改革措施。

近几个月来，安哥拉海域的钻井平台数量有所增加，道达尔将自己定位为该国最大的外国运营商。这家法国石油公司计划在未来几周内开始钻探世界上最深的海上油井。

安哥拉石油业监管机构周四表示：意大利埃尼集团及其合作伙伴已经开始在Agogo-1油田每日开采1万桶石油，预计未来几个月产量将增加一倍。

据Rystad表示，安哥拉在过去五年内开展的项目的产量将在2022年达到峰值，达到54.9万桶/天左右。

New offshore projects revitalize flagging Angolan oil production

Angola’s ailing oil industry got a shot in the arm this week, with Eni SpA and Total SA both showing their commitment to the OPEC producer.

Eni started production at the Agogo-1 deepwater field and won exploration rights to Block 28 in the Namibe Basin, while Total, active in Angola for more than 60 years, was awarded Block 29. New discoveries are vital if the southwest African country is going to revive faltering output, according to consultants Rystad Energy AS.

“Adding significant resource through new discovery seems to be the only way out,” Rystad said in a report. Without fresh finds, volumes could drop below 1 million barrels a day by 2025, it said.

Oil production in Angola has slumped by a third in the past decade to less than 1.4 million barrels a day, reflecting years of underinvestment in new projects. The government, which relies on oil exports for most of its revenue, has introduced reforms such as tax relief and a standalone regulator as part of efforts to lure investment and reverse the decline.

The number of rigs in Angolan waters has increased in recent months, with Total positioning itself to be the country’s top foreign operator. The French major plans to drill the world’s deepest offshore well in a campaign that begins in the next few weeks.

Italy’s Eni and its partners have started pumping 10,000 barrels a day at Agogo-1, and expect to double that volume in the coming months, Angola’s oil-industry regulator said Thursday.

Production from Angolan projects that started in the last five years will peak in 2022 at about 549,000 barrels a day, according to Rystad.
