石油圈中國石化新聞網訊 據普氏能源資訊1月22日報道稱，英國勘探商凱恩能源集團今年將把勘探和評估支出增加一倍以上，重點放在墨西哥和英國。得益于2017年投產的北海油田的股權，這兩個國家的財務狀況已趨于穩定。 凱恩能源周二在一份聲明中表示，預計今年將花費1.7億美元進行勘探和評估，高于去年的9000萬美元，并將參與在墨西哥，英國和挪威近海鉆探多達7口井。 該公司計劃在今年下半年成為三個英國和兩個墨西哥勘探井的運營商，并將參與其他公司運營的探井活動。它還在進行或計劃在Surname和Cote d’Ivoire進行地震采集。 凱恩在2018年主要依賴于勘探活動，從Premier石油公司和EnQuest分別運營的英國Catcher和Kraken油田獲得了17,500桶/天的石油當量。該公司將2018年的平均生產成本定為20美元/桶。由于行業低迷，該公司被迫放慢勘探步伐，該公司在本世紀初曾在格陵蘭島近海進行過一次不成功的勘探活動。 凱恩首席執行官西蒙湯姆森表示： “進入2019年，凱恩能源將擁有強大的資產負債表和來自北海生產的現金流，為重要的增長機會提供資金?！?徐蕾 摘譯自 普氏能源資訊 原文如下： UK’s Cairn Energy plans exploration step-up in 2019 UK explorer Cairn Energy will more than double its exploration and appraisal spending this year, focusing on Mexico and the UK having stabilized its finances thanks to stakes in North Sea fields that came on stream in 2017. In a statement, Cairn said Tuesday it expected to spend $170 million on exploration and appraisal this year, up from $90 million last year, and would participate in drilling up to seven wells offshore Mexico, the UK and Norway. It will be the operator of three UK and two Mexican exploration wells planned for the second half of the year, and will participate in additional wells operated by other companies. It also has seismic acquisition underway or planned in Surname and Cote d’Ivoire. Cairn gained a full year of production in 2018 after previously relying on exploration, deriving 17,500 b/d of oil equivalent from its stakes in the UK Catcher and Kraken fields, operated by Premier Oil and EnQuest respectively. It put its average production costs for 2018 at $20/boe. The company had been forced to rein in exploration due to the industry downturn, and before that due to an unsuccessful campaign offshore Greenland early in the decade. “Cairn enters 2019 with balance sheet strength and cash flow from North Sea production to fund significant growth opportunities,” CEO Simon Thomson said. ?
