石油设备网讯 据路透社3月26日索非亚报道，荷兰皇家壳牌公司周二表示，下个月将在保加利亚黑海海岸附近的一个区块内开始钻探一口探井，以获取石油和天然气。
壳牌(Shell)已与西班牙雷普索尔(Repsol)和澳大利亚伍德赛德能源(Woodside Energy)结成合作伙伴。此前，壳牌在2016年与保加利亚签署了一份深水勘探钻井合同，这是索菲亚努力结束其几乎完全依赖俄罗斯天然气供应的一部分，是该公司在保加利亚唯一的上游项目。
“有合作伙伴和良好的数据……我们18个月前就开始准备钻探了。本月，钻机将移动到该位置，我们预计[calendarclick]4月1日开始钻井。”壳牌保加利亚风险经理Alexander Kayes告诉记者。
他说，在黑海1-14 Khan-Kubrat区块钻探探井的深度将达到1300米，预计需要三个月左右。
去年11月，法国石油巨头道达尔及其合作伙伴奥地利OMV和雷普索尔开始在黑海一个区块钻探第三口井，该区块紧挨着壳牌的区块。

Shell starts exploratory drilling for oil and gas off Bulgarian coast
Royal Dutch Shell said on Tuesday it will start drilling an exploration well in a block off Bulgaria's Black Sea coast next month for oil and gas.
Shell has teamed up with Spain's Repsol and Australia's Woodside Energy after sealing a contract with Bulgaria in 2016 for deepwater exploratory drilling as part of Sofia efforts to end its almost complete reliance on Russia's natural gas supplies. It is Shell's only upstream project in Bulgaria.
"With partners and with good data... we started preparation for drilling 18 months ago. This month the rig will move on to the location and we expect to start drilling [calendarclick]on April 1," Alexander Kayes, Shell's Bulgaria venture manager, told reporters.
Drilling of the exploration well in the 1-14 Khan Kubrat block in the Black Sea will be at a depth of 1,300 metres and is expected to take about three months, he said.
In November, French oil giant Total and its partners Austria's OMV and Repsol started drilling a third well in a block next to Shell's block in the Black Sea.
