據(jù)6月13日離岸能源報道，總部位于加拿大的油氣公司Valeura Energy已經(jīng)完成了其在泰國近海油田的填充鉆井活動，這使得該油田的石油產(chǎn)量得以提高。

Valeura Energy于2023年6月13日星期二證實，該公司已經(jīng)完成了Nong Yao油田的填充鉆探活動，該油田最近從Mubadala Petroleum的子公司Busrakham Oil and Gas收購。Valeura在泰國G11/48區(qū)塊的這個油田鉆了兩口水平井，Valeura擁有該油田90%的運營權(quán)益。

據(jù)該公司稱，鉆井作業(yè)是安全的，低于預(yù)算提前完成。這兩口井在水平段分別遇到了約1000英尺和700英尺的凈產(chǎn)油層，證實了鉆前油藏模擬結(jié)果。這兩口井已投入生產(chǎn)，初始總產(chǎn)量約為1350桶/天。

這家加拿大公司強調(diào)，除了2023年初Jasmine油田鉆井計劃的貢獻外，新的Nong Yao油井在6月11日的總石油產(chǎn)量平均為23700桶/天，比公司投資組合中的四個資產(chǎn)較2023年第一季度的平均利率增長了約16%。

Valeura Energy總裁兼首席執(zhí)行官Sean Guest評論道，“我們Nong Yao鉆井活動取得了成功，其結(jié)果支持了我們的投資理念，即我們的資產(chǎn)有潛力通過增加產(chǎn)量和有針對性地加密鉆井增加新的儲量來進一步增加價值。我對團隊在執(zhí)行項目中的安全表現(xiàn)感到滿意，他們對高效運營的承諾也得到了強有力成本和進度結(jié)果的證明。為了利用這一勢頭，我們已經(jīng)調(diào)整了鉆井計劃，現(xiàn)在將在2023年只使用一個鉆井平臺來執(zhí)行我們所有的鉆井計劃。這一變化構(gòu)成了前Mubadala能源資產(chǎn)和KrisEnergy資產(chǎn)之間重要的運營協(xié)同作用。隨著繼續(xù)整合在泰國收購的業(yè)務(wù)，我們正在尋找更多提高效率機會，成為利益相關(guān)者增加價值的進一步途徑”。

此外，Valeura解釋道，Mubadala于2022年7月聘請的Borr Drilling的Mist鉆井平臺目前位于Manora油田，該公司計劃在那里鉆三口井，旨在提高油田的產(chǎn)量，并增加該資產(chǎn)的經(jīng)濟壽命。預(yù)計在2023年8月初完成Manora作業(yè)后，該鉆井平臺將轉(zhuǎn)移到Wassana油田，進行該公司的五口井填充鉆井計劃。

Thanks to infill drilling campaign, more oil flows from Thai field

Canada-based oil and gas company Valeura Energy has wrapped up its infill drilling campaign at a field offshore Thailand, which has enabled it to ramp up oil production at the field.

Valeura Energy confirmed on Tuesday, 13 June 2023, that it had completed its infill drilling campaign at the Nong Yao field, which was recently acquired from Mubadala Petroleum’s subsidiary, Busrakham Oil and Gas. Two horizontal infill wells were drilled on this oil field in Licence G11/48 in Thailand, in which Valeura holds a 90 per cent operated working interest.

According to the company, the drilling operations were executed safely, below budget, and ahead of schedule. The wells encountered approximately 1,000 and 700 ft of net oil pay in their horizontal sections, respectively, confirming pre-drill reservoir simulation results. Both wells have come onstream as oil producers at a combined initial gross rate of approximately 1,350 bbls/d.

The Canadian player highlights that the new Nong Yao wells, in addition to contributions from the Jasmine oil field drilling programme earlier in 2023, have resulted in aggregate oil production rates from during the 11 days of June averaging 23,700 bbls/d (net to the company’s working interest), an increase of approximately 16 per cent over average 1Q 2023 rates from the four assets in the firm’s portfolio.

Sean Guest, President and CEO of Valeura Energy, commented: “Our Nong Yao drilling campaign has been a success and the results bolster our investment thesis that our assets offer the potential to add further value through increased production and new reserve additions through targeted infill drilling. I am pleased with the team’s safety performance in executing the programme and their commitment to efficient operations as evidenced by a strong cost and schedule outcome.

“To capitalise on this momentum, we have adjusted our drilling schedule such that we will now utilise only one rig to execute all our drilling plans in 2023. This change constitutes an important operational synergy between the former Mubadala Energy assets and the KrisEnergy assets. As we continue to integrate the businesses we have acquired in Thailand, we are identifying more opportunities for efficiency gains as a further way to add value for our stakeholders.”

Furthermore, Valeura explains that the Borr Drilling’s Mist rig, which Mubadala hired in July 2022, is now on location at the Manora oil field, where the company plans to drill three wells aimed at increasing production from the field and by extension, adding to the economic life of the asset. Upon completion of operations at Manora – anticipated in early August 2023 – the rig will move to the Wassana field for the firm’s five-well infill drilling programme.
