据能源新闻7月2日消息称，据Kallanish Energy报道，意大利能源巨头埃尼（Eni）周三宣布，在埃及近海发现了一处新的“重大”天然气和凝析油。

Bashrush的发现地点位于地中海尼罗河三角洲的常规浅水区，水深22米。这是埃尼集团及其合作伙伴在El Hammad北部许可证区域钻探的第一口探井。

埃尼公司在一份声明中说，该井击中了一个152米厚的气柱，具有“优异的岩石物理性质”。 现在将对其进行测试，包括BP和道达尔在内的合作伙伴将开始筛选开发方案。

埃尼补充称，其目的是通过与该地区现有基础设施的协同作用，“加快”生产。与此同时，埃尼集团将在今年继续钻探另一口勘探井，以勘探大诺鲁斯地区。

Bashrush油田的开采权由埃尼集团通过其附属公司IEOC(37.5%)经营，并与BP(37.5%)和道达尔(25%)合作运营。埃及国有天然气公司EGAS也获得了该许可证。

Eni hits new gas discovery offshore Egypt

Italian energy major Eni announced on Wednesday a new “significant” natural gas and condensate discovery offshore Egypt, Kallanish Energy reports.

The Bashrush discovery is located at 22 meters of water depth, in the conventional shallow waters of the Nile Delta, in the Mediterranean Sea. It’s the first exploration well Eni and partners drilled in the North El Hammad license.

The well hit a single 152 meters thick gas column with “excellent petrophysical properties,” Eni said in a statement. It will now be tested and the partners, which include BP and Total, will begin screening the development options.

The aim is to “fast track” production through synergies with the area’s existing infrastructure, Eni added. In parallel with the development activities for the discovery, Eni will continue to explore the Great Nooros Area with the drilling of another exploration well this year.

The concession hosting the Bashrush discovery is operated by Eni via its affiliate IEOC (37.5%), in partnership with BP (37.5%) and Total (25%). The Egyptian state-owned gas company EGAS is also involved in the license.
