据10月16日Offshore Energy报道,Rystad Energy周三表示,尽管今年迄今为止全球海上勘探活动一直停滞不前,但挪威大陆架(NCS)的情况要乐观得多,到今年年底,那里的钻井数量可能会突破历史最高水平。
Rystad预计,这种活跃的生产状态将持续到2020年。能源信息署表示,到2023年,每年将钻探30至50口探井。
Rystad Energy 海上钻井团队的分析师Eivind Drabl?s表示:“我们的初步分析显示,今年可能会钻探130口井,比2018年增加16%。今年剩余时间增加的项目主要涉及勘探钻井,将完成约55口井的钻探。”
预计从2020年开始,海底开发井将经历持续数年的快速增长。几个即将进行的大型水下油田开发项目,如Johan Castberg、Snorre Expansion和Wisting,也将增加挪威适用于恶劣环境的半潜式钻井平台的需求。与此同时,与井口平台相关联的开发井,即所谓的干井,将呈现出更加平稳的发展趋势。

Norway’s offshore wells in 2019 could challenge all-time high levels, Rystad says
While global offshore exploration activity has been flat year-to-date, the situation has been far more buoyant on the Norwegian Continental Shelf (NCS), where the number of wells drilled could challenge all-time high levels by the end of the year, Rystad Energy said in a report on Wednesday.
Rystad Energy expects that this high activity level will be sustained through the winter season and into 2020. Around 30 to 50 exploration wells will be drilled per year towards 2023, the energy intelligence group said.
“Our preliminary analysis shows that a total of 130 wells are likely to be drilled this year – a 16% increase compared to 2018. The increased activity this year relates primarily to an uptick in exploration drilling, a segment that will see around 55 wells completed,” said Eivind Drabl?s, an analyst on Rystad Energy’s offshore rig team.
Subsea development wells are forecast to experience a growth spurt beginning in 2020 and lasting several years. Several large upcoming subsea field developments, such as Johan Castberg, Snorre Expansion, and Wisting, will also spark an increase in long-term contracts for harsh-environment semi-submersible rigs authorized for operations in Norway. Meanwhile, development wells associated with wellhead platforms – so-called dry wells – will see a flatter forward trend.
