石油设备网讯 据World Oil网斯塔万格4月19日消息 挪国油Equinor和位于里海的阿塞拜疆ACG油田的8家合作伙伴已经做出了一项60亿美元的投资决定，将在该许可区域建造一个额外的平台。
此前，该公司与阿塞拜疆的政府达成协议，将ACG油田的使用期限延长至2049年。
新的平台名为ACE的新平台将与现有基础设施集成合作运营。该设计的最高产量可多达10万桶/天，预计在其使用寿命内可生产多达300万桶/天。Equinor在该油田拥有7.27%的份额，预计2023年将首次出油。
“多年来Equinor在阿塞拜疆创造了巨大的价值，我们很高兴能达到这个里程碑。Equinor负责国际开发与生产的执行副总裁orgrim Reitan表示:“我们与BP一道，迫切希望为Equinor的安全运营做出贡献，为Equinor提供多年的现金流。”
该平台的主要目标是增加钻井能力，以加快生产、提高采收率和降低风险。此外，该平台还为托管ACG未来的开发提供了灵活性。
除了ACG ACE的决定，Equinor正在阿塞拜疆寻求其他机会。Equinor和合作伙伴SOCAR计划今年晚些时候在Karabagh许可证上钻一口评估井。在卡拉巴格钻完井后，计划在Ashrafi、Dan Ulduzu、Aypara许可证上钻Aypara探井。
Reitan表示：“2018年第四季度，Equinor在挪威以外地区的日均股本产量为85.4万桶/天。我们希望在国际上实现增长，承担更多的业务，并寻求增长选择。阿塞拜疆是Equinor的一个重要业务领域国家，在过去几年中，我们一直能够在该区域开发新的增长机会。在ACG领域增加一个平台的决定有助于Equinor的国际战略。”
ACG目前拥有8个海上平台——6个生产平台和2个流程、天然气压缩、注水和公用事业平台。这些平台将石油和天然气出口到巴库附近的Sangachal码头。Sangachal码头是世界上最大的石油和天然气码头之一。2018年，ACG的总产量平均为58.4万桶/天，Equinor的股权产量约为4.3万桶/天。

Equinor invests in new platform in Azerbaijan
Equinor and eight partners in the offshore Azeri Chirag Gunashli (ACG) oilfield in the Caspian Sea have made a $6 billion investment decision to build an additional platform in the license area.
The investment decision follows an agreement with the Government of Azerbaijan to extend the life of the ACG field until 2049.
The new platform, called ACE (Azeri-Central-East), will be integrated with existing infrastructure. It is designed to process up to 100,000 bopd and expected to produce up to 300 MMbbl over its lifetime. Equinor holds a 7.27% share in the oilfield and first oil is expected in 2023.
"Equinor has been creating significant value in Azerbaijan over many years, and we are excited to reach this milestone. Together with operator BP we are eager to contribute to safe operations that will provide cash flow to Equinor for many years," says Torgrim Reitan, executive V.P. for Development & Production International (DPI) in Equinor.
The main objectives of the platform are to add drilling capacity to both accelerate production and increase recovery and reduce risk. In addition, theplatform provides flexibility for hosting future developments in ACG.
In addition to the ACG ACE decision Equinor is pursuing other opportunities in Azerbaijan. Equinor and partner SOCAR are planning to drill an appraisal well later this year in the Karabagh license, a discovery from 2000. Following the drilling in Karabagh, the plan is to drill the Aypara exploration well in the Ashrafi, Dan Ulduzu, Aypara licence.
"Equinor had an average daily equity production of 854,000 bpd outside Norway in the fourth quarter of 2018. We want to grow internationally, take on more operatorships and seek growth options.
Azerbaijan is an important country for Equinor and over the last few years we have been able to develop new growth opportunities in the region. The decision to add one platform to the ACG field is contributing to Equinor’s international strategy," says Reitan.
ACG currently has eight offshore platforms – six production platforms and two process, gas compression, water injection and utilities platforms. The platforms export oil and gas to the Sangachal Terminal, one of the world’s largest oil and gas terminals, onshore near Baku. In 2018, total production from ACG averaged 584,000 bpd, of which Equinor has an equity production of approximately 43,000 bpd.
