石油设备网讯 据ZAWYA网萨格勒布4月15日消息 加拿大Vermilion能源公司的一名高级官员周一表示，该公司将于6月在克罗地亚钻探首两口探井。Vermilion在2015年获得了克罗地亚东北部平坦地区的4个石油和天然气勘探许可证，钻探工作将在其中一个许可证上进行。
"尽管我们从新获得的地震数据中看到了天然气充注的证据，但在这些初始油井完工之前，我们无法确定这些天然气是否具有商业生产能力。"该部门中东欧地区负责人Bryan Sralla表示。他补充说，这可能是在7月中旬到下旬。
克罗地亚目前正在对北部和南部山区的石油和天然气勘探进行两项新的投标。它们分别开放到6月和9月。
他表示:“我们的团队正在评估所有克罗地亚牌照的潜力，但我们还没有决定是否竞标。”
“我们的内部执行审查定于5月底进行。我希望我们的团队能发现一些潜力。”该负责人补充道。
在上周接受路透社采访时，克罗地亚能源公司INA的一名高级官员表示，该公司计划竞标北部的几个勘探区块，但仍在考虑南部的选择。Vermilion在斯洛伐克和匈牙利也有开展业务。
Sralla表示，该公司计划今年在匈牙利钻4口井，与匈牙利的MOL合作钻2口井，与斯洛伐克能源公司Nafta合作在斯洛伐克钻4口井。
Sralla还称Vermilion可能会扩展到其他中欧和东欧国家，因为该公司正在评估该地区的投资机会。

Canada's Vermilion to drill new exploration wells in central Europe
Canada's Vermilion Energy will drill its first two exploration wells in Croatia in June, a senior official from the company said on Monday. Vermilion won four licences in 2015 for oil and gas exploration in Croatia's flat northeastern areas and the drilling will take place on one of these.
"Although we see evidence of gas charge from the new seismic data we have acquired, we'll not know for sure whether any of this is commercially producible until after these initial wells are completed," Bryan Sralla, who heads the unit for central and eastern Europe, told.He added that would probably be during mid to late July.
Croatia is currently running two new tenders for oil and gas exploration in the north and in the mountainous southern region. They are open until June and September, respectively.
"Our team is evaluating the potential of all the Croatian licences on offer, but we have not yet made a decision whether we will bid on any," he said.
"Our internal executive review is scheduled for late May. I'm hopeful our team will identify some potential," he added.
In an interview with Reuters last week a senior official at Croatian energy firm INA said it planned to bid for several exploration blocks in the north, but was still considering options for the south.
Vermilion also has a presence in Slovakia and Hungary.
Sralla said the company planned to drill four wells in Hungary this year, two in partnership with Hungary's MOL, and four wells in Slovakia in partnership with Slovakian energy company Nafta.
Sralla also said Vermilion could expand into other central and eastern Europe countries as the company was evaluating investment opportunities across the region.
