石油设备网讯 据Argus 2019年4月16日拉巴斯报道，玻利维亚油气部长路易斯·阿尔贝托·桑切斯预测，由于玻利维亚“勘探年”的势头增强，玻利维亚的天然气储量将大幅增加。
桑切斯在接受阿格斯采访时表示：“玻利维亚第一季度的业绩非常令人鼓舞。当我们在今年年底证实时天然气储量将从目前的10.7万亿立方英尺大幅增加。”
玻利维亚政府目前正在组织招标，聘请一家公司对玻利维亚的天然气储量进行认证。
桑切斯说，最低目标是到2025年前将天然气储量增加一倍，使天然气“仍然是我们可持续经济增长的支柱”。
玻利维亚政府2019年上游计划预计上游总投资25亿美元，包括23个区块的26口探井。
这位部长列举了今年到目前为止取得的一系列成功，其中包括西班牙雷普索尔公司在塔里哈省的Boyuy-X2井所做的工作，该井的总深度达到了7963米，他说这是南美洲最深的陆上油井。雷普索尔在这口油井上投资超过了1亿美元，并于今年3月开始进行试生产。

Bolivia's gas reserves to double by 2025 -minister
Bolivian hydrocarbons minister Luis Alberto Sanchez predicts a jump in natural gas reserves as the country's "year of exploration" gains momentum.
"Results from the first quarter were very promising," Sanchez told Argus in an interview. "Reserves will increase from a current 10.7 trillion cf when we certify at the end of the year."
The government is currently organizing a tender to hire a firm to certify the reserves.
Sanchez said the minimum goal is to double reserves by 2025 so that gas "remains a pillar of our sustainable economic growth."
The government's 2019 upstream plan foresees $2.5bn in total upstream investment encompassing 26 exploration wells to be drilled on 23 blocks.
The minister ticked off a list of successes so far this year, including the work of Spain's Repsol on the Boyuy-X2 well in Tarija department that reached total depth of 7,963m, which he said is the deepest onshore well in South America. Repsol invested more than $100mn on the well and began production tests in March.
