據(jù)海上工程師網(wǎng)10月11日多哈報(bào)道，卡塔爾能源部長(zhǎng)兼卡塔爾能源公司負(fù)責(zé)人薩阿德·卡阿比周一表示，卡塔爾能源公司希望加快開(kāi)發(fā)今年早些時(shí)候與合作伙伴在納米比亞海上獲得的兩個(gè)石油發(fā)現(xiàn)。  

卡阿比表示，鉆井作業(yè)預(yù)計(jì)將在2023年進(jìn)行，以期更好地了解產(chǎn)量和產(chǎn)能，但沒(méi)有說(shuō)明這兩個(gè)石油發(fā)現(xiàn)將在何時(shí)投產(chǎn)。

卡塔爾能源公司擁有Venus X1油田30%的股份，而該石油發(fā)現(xiàn)的運(yùn)營(yíng)商法國(guó)道達(dá)爾能源公司則持有40%的股份。Impact石油和天然氣公司擁有20%的股份，納米比亞國(guó)家石油公司NAMCOR擁有10%的股份。  

在Graff1油田中，殼牌公司和卡塔爾能源公司各持有45%的股份，而NAMCOR擁有剩余10%的股份。 

這兩個(gè)石油發(fā)現(xiàn)可能使歐佩克成員國(guó)安哥拉的南部鄰國(guó)納米比亞成為非洲大西洋沿岸的另一個(gè)產(chǎn)油國(guó)。

納米比亞礦業(yè)和能源部長(zhǎng)今年9月表示，兩家公司尚未詳細(xì)說(shuō)明發(fā)現(xiàn)的儲(chǔ)量，但可能有數(shù)十億桶。  

卡阿比在訪問(wèn)南非時(shí)在溫得和克對(duì)記者說(shuō)：“我們正努力盡快加快這一進(jìn)程，以確保我們能最終完成開(kāi)發(fā)。”

“開(kāi)發(fā)這些石油發(fā)現(xiàn)通常需要數(shù)年的時(shí)間，這不是一件可以很快完成的事情，而且這是深海開(kāi)發(fā)，所以它有其復(fù)雜性?！笨ò⒈热缡钦f(shuō)。

納米比亞能源部長(zhǎng)Tom Alweendo上個(gè)月在達(dá)喀爾舉行的一次石油會(huì)議上說(shuō)，合作伙伴可以在4年內(nèi)開(kāi)始這兩個(gè)油田的石油生產(chǎn)。

Qatar Wants to Speed Up Development of Namibia Offshore Oil Discoveries

The head of QatarEnergy, who is also Qatar's energy minister, said on Monday the company wants to speed up the development of two oil wells it discovered off the Namibian coast with joint venture partners earlier this year.

Saad al-Kaabi said drilling work is expected for 2023 to get a better understanding of deliverability and capacity but did not indicate when the two oil finds will be brought into production.

QatarEnergy has a 30% interest in the Venus X1 while the field's operator TotalEnergies TTEF.PA has 40%, Impact Oil and Gas owns 20% and Namibia's state-owned NAMCOR has 10%.

In the Graff-1 well, Shell Plc and QatarEnergy each hold a 45% stake, while NAMCOR owns the remaining 10%.

The discoveries could make Namibia, the southern neighbor of OPEC member Angola, another oil producer along the African Atlantic coast.

The companies have not yet detailed the quantities found, but the discoveries are likely in billions of barrels, Namibia's mines and energy minister said in September. 

"We are trying to expedite that as fast as possible to ensure we can get the development finalized," Al-Kaabi told reporters in Windhoek during a visit to the southern African nation.

"These developments always take years to develop, it's not something that can be done very fast and this is deep offshore development, so it has its complications."

Namibia's energy minister Tom Alweendo told an oil conference in Dakar last month that the joint venture partners could start production in four years.
