中国石化新闻网讯 据海外媒体2月25日亚穆苏克罗报道，俄罗斯第2大石油生产公司鲁克石油公司今年将耗资约4亿美元在位于科特迪瓦海上的Independence发现附近进行钻井作业。
鲁克石油公司总裁瓦吉特·阿列克佩罗夫是在会见了科特迪瓦总统阿拉萨内·瓦塔拉以后对媒体记者发表上述讲话的。他说：“今年我们将继续我们在科特迪瓦的勘探钻井作业。3次钻井作业将使我们获得陆相盆地的大量信息并允许我们对这个发现有更好的了解。”
鲁克石油公司负责勘探作业的副总裁阿纳托利·卡托欣说，鲁克石油公司和美国独立石油公司万科能源公司是在2011年底在水深1689米的CI401许可证区块内获得这个发现的，这个发现初步估计拥有3亿桶石油储量。

Lukoil eyes '$400m' splash on Independence
25 February 2013 23:39 GMT
Russia's Lukoil will spend about $400 million this year drilling near the Indepndence discovery off Ivory Coast, according to a report.
"This year we will continue our work," company president Vagit Alekperov told journalists after meeting with Ivory Coast President Alassane Ouattara, Reuters reported.
"These three drills will give us lots of information on the continental basin and allow us to get a better idea of the discovery," he said.
Lukoil and US independent Vanco Energy discovered Independence in late 2011 in 1689 metres of water on licence CI 401. Anatoly Katoshin, Lukoil’s vice president of exploration, said its preliminary estimate of reserves at Independance is about 300 million barrels of oil.
