据油气新闻7月14日消息称，根据雷斯塔能源对上游数据的年中评估，全球常规油气发现继续显示出良好的增长前景，2019年上半年新发现的油当量为67亿桶。

今年迄今为止每月平均石油发现达11.23亿桶，较2018年的8.27亿桶油当量相比大约上涨了35％。到目前为止，2019年是天然气发现的一年，与液体相比，天然气占大多数(63%)，这是自2016年以来从未出现过的现象。

雷斯塔能源高级分析师Rohit Patel表示：“俄罗斯、圭亚那、塞浦路斯、南非和马来西亚的海上发现，推动了国际勘探开发公司本已非常成功的一年。由于深水发现贡献了一半的发现储藏量，我们可以推断，深海地区高风险边沿油田重新回到了勘探者的视野中。”

大型以及综合性的国有石油公司在主导常规勘探方面表现突出，占2019年探明储量的80%以上。迄今为止，雷斯塔能源分析已确定了56项全球常规发现，其中30项位于海上。

今年上半年，俄罗斯是世界上发现资源最多的国家，其次是圭亚那、塞浦路斯、南非和马来西亚。

Rystad Energy: 1H19 new finds amount to 6.7 billion boe

Global discoveries of conventional oil and gas continue to show promising growth, with new finds totalling 6.7 billion barrels of oil equivalent (boe) in the first half of 2019 (1H19), according to the mid-year assessment of upstream data by Rystad Energy.

The 1123 million boe average monthly discovered volumes year-to-date reflect an approximate 35% uplift compared to the 827 million boe seen in 2018. So far, 2019 has been a year of gas discoveries, which hold a majority (63%) share compared to liquids, a phenomenon not seen since 2016.

“Offshore discoveries in Russia, Guyana, Cyprus, South Africa and Malaysia are propelling what is already a very successful year for international E&P companies. With deepwater finds contributing half of the discovered volumes, it can be inferred that high-risk frontier plays in the deepwater are back on the map for explorers,” says Rohit Patel, Senior Analyst at Rystad Energy.

Majors and integrated national oil companies have been exceptional in dominating conventional exploration performance, accounting for more than an 80% share of 2019 discovered volumes. Rystad Energy analysis has identified 56 global conventional discoveries so far this year, 30 of which are located offshore.

In 1H19, Russia was the leader of the pack in terms of total discovered resources, followed by Guyana, Cyprus, South Africa and Malaysia.
