据普氏能源资讯4月18日伦敦报道,加拿大勘探商Valeura Energy将于4月25日在伦敦证券交易所上市,该公司希望吸引英国和欧洲投资者支持其降低土耳其西北部10.1万亿立方英尺(285亿立方米)非常规天然气潜在风险的计划。
Valeura正与挪威Equinor公司合作,对色雷斯盆地巴纳利区块的非常规天然气储量进行评估。此前,该公司已于2017年成功开发了一口名为Yamalik-1的探井。
该公司表示,目前已在现场钻探了一口名为Inanli-1的评估井,将于2019年第二季度进行增产和测试。
“Equinor/Valeura在Yamalik-1和Inanli-1钻井项目的初步结果令人鼓舞,该公司正致力于进一步降低风险,以期进行商业开发,”该公司在宣布批准其在伦敦上市时表示。
土耳其几乎完全依赖从俄罗斯和阿塞拜疆进口天然气以及进口液化天然气,以满足每年约500亿立方米的天然气需求。
Valeura表示,"该公司遇到的许多欧洲投资者都表现出对土耳其天然气市场动态的深刻了解,包括土耳其天然气供应的99%以上来自进口,他们也表达了投资意愿。"
该公司表示,评估钻井和测试项目预计将持续到2019年底,并将指导2020年和2021年进一步评估和/或早期开发项目的计划。
Valeura成立于2010年,当时它将名称从PanWestern Energy改为Valeura。Valeura使土耳其成为主要的地理焦点,目前拥有20个勘探和生产许可证。

Canada's Valeura set for London listing as it eyes Turkish gas bonanza
London —Canadian explorer Valeura Energy is set to list on the London Stock Exchange on April 25 as it looks to entice UK and European investors to back its plans to de-risk its potential 10.1 Tcf (285 Bcm) unconventional gas play in northwestern Turkey.
Valeura is working in partnership with Norwegian major Equinor to appraise the unconventional gas accumulation at the Banarli block in the Thrace Basin following a successful exploration well -- Yamalik-1 -- in 2017.
An appraisal well, Inanli-1, has now been drilled at the site and will be stimulated and tested in the second quarter of 2019, the company said.
"Early results from the Equinor/Valeura drilling program at Yamalik-1 and Inanli-1 are encouraging and the company's efforts are squarely focused on further de-risking the play with a view towards commercial development," the company said as it announced approval of its listing in London.
Turkey is almost entirely dependent on imports from Russia and Azerbaijan -- as well as imports of LNG -- to meet gas demand of around 50 Bcm/year.
"Many European investors the company has met have demonstrated a strong understanding of Turkish gas market dynamics -- including the fact that Turkey imports over 99% of its gas supply -- and have expressed a willingness to invest," Valeura said.
The appraisal drilling and testing program is expected to continue into late 2019 and will guide plans for further appraisal and/or an early development project in 2020 and 2021, the company said.
Valeura -- created in 2010 when it changed its name from PanWestern Energy -- has made Turkey is primary geographic focus and now has 20 exploration and production licenses.
