石油设备网讯 据石油和天然气管道新闻4月16日消息，澳大利亚天然气勘探和生产公司桑托斯公司宣布对西部近海卡那封盆地Corvus气田进行了成功的评估，其中Corvus-2号勘探井确认存在重要的天然气资源。
该勘探井位于英联邦水域丹皮尔西北约90公里处的石油可采区WA-45-R，总深度达3 998米，桑托斯对其拥有100%的开采权。该公司在一份声明中表示，这口井的总间距为638米，是迄今为止在西北大陆架上发现的最大的探井之一。
到目前为止，电缆测井已证实，北兰金组和蒙加鲁组的目标储层约在3,360米至3,998米之间，油气的净产层数为245米。
Corvus-2号探井大约在Corvus-1号探井西南3公里处，Corvus-1号探井是在2000年钻探的，该处的水深为63米。桑托斯在所有这些设施中拥有100%的权益。
桑托斯董事总经理兼首席执行官Kevin Gallagher表示：“Corvus-2号探井取得了惊人的成果，为该地区开辟了许多额外的勘探机会。令人特别兴奋的是，我们发现了比我们预期更高的原油含量和更大的资源量。”

Santos finds gas offshore in Carnarvon Basin
Santos, Australian gas exploration and production company, announced the successful appraisal of the Corvus field, with Corvus-2 confirming a significant gas resource in the Carnarvon Basin, offshore Western Australia.
The well, located in petroleum permit WA-45-R, in which Santos has a 100 per cent interest, is approximately 90 kilometres northwest of Dampier in Commonwealth waters and reached a total depth of 3,998 metres. The well intersected a gross interval of 638 metres, one of the largest columns ever discovered across the North West Shelf, the company said in a statement.
Wireline logging to date has confirmed 245 metres of net hydrocarbon pay across the target reservoirs in the North Rankin and Mungaroo formations, between 3,360 and 3,998 metres.
Corvus-2 is approximately three kilometres southwest of Corvus-1, which was drilled in 2000. The water depth at location is 63 metres. Santos has a 100 per cent interest in all these facilities.
Santos managing director and chief executive officer Kevin Gallagher said: “Corvus-2 has delivered a fantastic result and has opened up a number of additional exploration opportunities in the region.It is particularly exciting to have realised a higher liquids content and significantly bigger resource volume than we expected.”
