据11月17日Offshore Energy消息：Rystad Energy表示，尽管人们担心疫情可能会将石油发现量降至几十年来的最低水平，但今年的勘探活动一直很有弹性，新发现资源将达到100亿桶油当量。

迄今已发现的资源超过80亿桶石油当量，预计到年底将稳定在100亿桶左右。

天然气储量约为37.5亿桶，占已探明储量的46%，而液体储量约为43.1亿桶。但土耳其萨卡里亚等未被统计的油气储量还会有额外的上升空间，这意味着今年油气储量将不会回到2016年的低点，即77亿桶油当量。

今年截至10月的73个新发现油田中，陆地和海上发现的油田各占一半，陆上36个，海上37个。

俄罗斯以15.1亿桶油当量位居榜首，苏里南以13.9亿桶油当量位居第二，阿联酋以11亿桶油当量位居第三。

在已探明资源四分之三以上的海上储量中，33%位于超深水区，38%位于深水区，29%位于浅水区。

Rystad表示，从发现石油的时间来看，第三季度是最弱的，新发现石油约为20亿桶，而前两个季度的新发现约为27亿桶。

Rystad Energy高级上游分析师Palzor Shenga表示:“全球油气运营商将会在今年最后两个月增加大量的wildcats项目，尽管其中一些项目可能要到2021年初才能完成，因此也会增加明年的产量。我们认为，发现的石油量可能会稳定在约100亿桶油当量。”

Rystad: Discovered oil and gas resources to reach 10 billion boe in 2020

Despite concerns that Covid-19 could drive down discovered volumes to their lowest levels in decades, exploration activity has been resilient this year with discovered resources set to hit 10 billion boe in 2020, Rystad Energy stated.

Energy intelligence firm Rystad Energy said on Monday that discovered resources so far exceed 8 billion barrels of oil equivalent (boe) and were projected to settle at around 10 billion boe by year-end.

About 3.75 billion boe, or 46 per cent of total discovered volumes, are gas while liquid volumes are estimated at 4.31 billion boe. Yet-uncounted resources in finds like Sakarya in Turkey point to additional upside, meaning that 2020 will avoid returning to the multi-decade low seen in 2016 at just 7.7 billion boe.

The 73 new discoveries announced this year through October are evenly split between land and sea with 36 onshore and 37 offshore.

Russia leads in terms of discovery volume, with 1.51 billion boe, while Suriname comes second with 1.39 billion boe, and the UAE follows third with 1.1 billion boe.

Of the offshore volumes, which account for slightly over three-quarters of discovered resources, 33 per cent was found in ultra-deep waters, 38 per cent in deepwater areas, and 29 per cent in shallow waters.

Rystad stated that looking at the timing of the discoveries, the third quarter was the weakest with about 2 billion boe of new finds compared to about 2.7 billion boe during each of the first two quarters.

Palzor Shenga, a senior upstream analyst at Rystad Energy, said: “Global oil and gas operators will chase plenty of additional volumes in wildcats planned for the final two months of 2020, although some may not be completed until early 2021 and will therefore add to next year’s tally. We believe discovered volumes are likely to settle at around 10 billion boe”.
