据钻机区网2019年10月23日报道，意大利能源巨头埃尼公司周三报告称，该公司已经开始在尼日利亚Obiafu 41发现生产天然气和凝析油，而这口生产井在3周前才完井。
埃尼公司在发给钻机区网的一份书面声明中指出，尼日尔三角洲发现的天然气储量约为280亿立方米，凝析油储量约为6000万桶。此外，该公司还表示，来自Obiafu 41发现的天然气主要用于尼日利亚国内发电市场。
埃尼公司指出，由埃尼公司运营的Ob-Ob厂将处理来自Obiafu 41发现的天然气，而另一家由美国电气公司运营的奥拜发电厂将使用这些天然气来发电。此外，埃尼公司表示，这家独立的发电厂正在进行升级改造，旨在把其发电量从500兆瓦提高一倍，达到1000兆瓦。
埃尼公司表示：“一旦升级完成，埃尼公司将生产尼日利亚全国20%的电力，成为该国最大的电力生产商。”

Eni to Become Nigeria's Top Power Producer
Eni S.p.A. reported Wednesday that it has begun natural gas and condensate production from the Obiafu 41 discovery in Nigeria just three weeks after completing the well.
The Niger Delta discovery holds approximately 28 billion cubic meters of gas and 60 million barrels of condensate, Eni noted in a written statement emailed to Rigzone. Also, the company stated that gas from Obiafu 41 is destined largely to the domestic market for power generation.
The Eni-operated Ob-Ob plant will process gas from Obiafu 41, and another Eni-run facility – the Okpai Power Plant – will use the gas to generate electricity, the firm noted. In addition, Eni stated the independent power plant is undergoing an upgrade to double its capacity from 500 megawatts to 1 gigawatt.
“Once the upgrade is complete, Eni will generate 20 percent of the entire national electricity production, establishing itself as the leading electricity producer in the country,” the company stated.
