据普氏能源资讯8月5日迪拜报道，阿曼石油开发公司(POD)，阿曼苏丹国最大的原油和凝析油生产商，有望在五年内将其产能增加10％以上，达到67万桶/日，为它增加了勘探活动并提高了现有产能。

PDO技术总监Sami Baqi表示，该公司正在加强勘探，尤其是在阿曼中部地区，并通过提高石油采收率(EOR)技术提高石油产量。阿曼政府持有PDO 60%的股份，荷兰皇家壳牌持有34%的股份。

Baqi上周在电话中表示：“如果你看一下预测，鉴于我们目前所拥有的投资组合的丰富性，我们有信心在未来五年将日产量提高至67万桶以上。”2018年，PDO的平均日产量为610,710桶，是自2005年以来的最高水平。

阿曼是石油输出国组织(OPEC)以外最大的中东产油国，去年在这个苏丹国东北方向发现了马布鲁克气田，从而扩大了勘探工作。该油田拥有超过4万亿立方英尺的天然气和1.12亿桶凝析油，目前由国有阿曼石油公司、壳牌和法国道达尔共同开发。今年6月，该国的石油和凝析油日产量平均为971,070桶。

壳牌和道达尔正在阿曼开发各自的下游天然气项目，壳牌将在阿曼建设一座天然气液化工厂，道达尔将在阿曼建设一座液化天然气加气站，预计该油田及相关项目的总投资将超过200亿美元。苏丹国还在BP的帮助下开发其大型气田Khazzan，预计到2021年将把日产量从目前的10亿立方英尺提高到15亿立方英尺。

上周，阿曼与埃尼集团(Eni)和BP阿曼公司签署了一项勘探和生产共享协议，共同开发位于阿曼中部、占地2734平方公里的77号区块。在勘探阶段，埃尼集团和BP将各自持有该协议50%的股权，埃尼集团担任运营商。

PDO正在加大对天然气的勘探力度，但这种大宗商品的产量取决于该国每年不同的需求。2018年，PDO天然气日产量23亿立方英尺，凝析油日产量63500桶。PDO估计，到2019年底，该国的原油储量为32.85亿桶，天然气储量为13.3万亿立方英尺。

该公司于7月开始从耗资40亿美元的Rabab Harweel综合项目中生产石油、天然气和凝析油。该项目是PDO历史上规模最大的项目，可追溯到1937年。含硫原油和天然气项目将增加5亿桶油当量，储备和生产可以持续20多年。

Baqi表示：“Yibal Khuff项目是目前正在建设的另一个数十亿美元的项目。这是另一个Harweel类型的复杂项目，开发含硫原油和天然气。这将增加超过3亿桶油当量。预计将在2021年投产。”

除了这两个含硫原油和天然气项目，该公司预计到2025年，其石油产量将从提高一倍以上，从目前的石油采收率11%增至23%。

提高采收率的项目包括注入聚合物、一种可替代较重原油的重质液体和蒸汽注入。

Oman's top oil producer set to boost output 10% in 5 years

Petroleum Development Oman, the largest oil and condensate producer in the sultanate, is on track to increase its output capacity by more than 10% to top 670,000 b/d in five years as it ramps up exploration activity and pumps more out of existing fields,.

PDO, in which the Omani government has a 60% stake and Royal Dutch Shell a 34% share, is beefing up exploration, particularly in central Oman, and boosting oil production through enhanced oil recovery (EOR) techniques, said Sami Baqi, the company's technical director.

"If you look at the projected forecast, given the richness of our portfolio we have today, we are confident that we can grow to above 670,000 b/d over the next five years," Baqi said by phone last week. PDO's output averaged 610,710 b/d in 2018, the highest level since 2005.

Oman, the biggest Middle East oil producer outside OPEC, has benefited from expanded exploration efforts, with the discovery of the Mabrouk gas field northeast of the sultanate last year. The field, which holds more than 4 trillion cf of gas and 112 million barrels of condensate, is being developed by state-run Oman Oil Co., Shell and France's Total. The country's total oil and condensate production averaged 971,070 b/d in June.

Shell and Total are developing their own downstream gas projects in Oman -- a gas-to-liquids plant by Shell and an LNG bunkering facility by Total -- taking total investment expected in the field and associated projects to more than $20 billion. The sultanate is also developing its giant Khazzan gas field with the help of BP, which is expected to boost production from the current 1 billion cf/day to 1.5 billion cf/day by 2021.

Oman last week signed an exploration and production sharing agreement with Eni and BP Oman for Block 77, which covers an area of 2,734 sq km in central Oman. During the exploration phase, Eni and BP will each hold a 50% interest in the agreement, with Eni acting as operator.

PDO is ramping up exploration for gas, but its production of the commodity depends on the country's needs, which varies from year to year. In 2018, PDO produced 2.3 billion cf/day of gas and 63,500 b/d of condensate. PDO's estimated reserves by the end of 2018 was 3.285 billion barrels of crude and 13.3 trillion cf of gas.

The company began in July producing oil, gas and condensate from the $4 billion Rabab Harweel integrated project, the biggest project PDO has undertaken over its history that dates back to 1937. The sour oil and gas project will add 500 million barrels of oil equivalent (boe) to reserves and production could last over 20 years, he said.

"The Yibal Khuff project is another multi-billion project which is under construction at the moment," Baqi said. "It is another Harweel type of complex project, developing sour oil and gas. It will add above 300 million boe. It is expected to come on stream by 2021."

Besides the two sour oil and gas projects, the company expects to more than double the amount of oil produced from EOR to 23% of total output by 2025 from 11% today.

EOR projects include the injection of polymer, a heavy liquid that displaces heavier crude, and steam injection.
