石油设备网讯 据普氏能源资讯2019年5月24日墨西哥城报道,墨西哥油气监管机构日前批准了6项勘探计划,意大利能源巨头埃尼公司有望成为墨西哥最大的浅水碳氢化合物生产商,仅次于墨西哥国有公司墨西哥国家石油公司(墨国油/Pemex)。
这家意大利公司及其合作伙伴——俄罗斯卢克石油公司、墨西哥独立企业Citla能源公司和英国凯恩能源公司——承诺在2019年至2022年期间在墨西哥钻探7个勘探目标。在首批井获得成功之前,埃尼公司和其合作伙伴已表示有兴趣再钻探5个远景构造。
根据埃尼公司提供给墨西哥国家碳氢化合物委员会的数据,如果这12口井全部成功,埃尼公司及其合作伙伴的总油气储量将增加21.4亿桶油当量。
伍德麦肯兹上游分析师Marco Baltazar表示,墨西哥有潜力成为埃尼公司未来的重要组成部分。
Baltazar说:“由于墨西哥的盈亏平衡成本较低,因此,墨西哥为埃尼公司提供了一个重要机会,可以快速提高现金流和油气产量。”
埃尼公司发言人周五在米兰拒绝就该公司在墨西哥的计划置评。

Exploration underway, Eni could become Mexico's largest private shallow-water operator
With six exploration plans already approved by regulators, Eni is positioned to become the largest shallow-water hydrocarbon producer in Mexico after state-owned company Pemex.
The Italian company and its partners -- Russia's Lukoil, Mexican independent Citla Energy and the UK's Cairn Energy -- are committed to drilling seven exploratory targets in Mexico over 2019-2022. Pending on the success of these first wells, Eni and the other companies have expressed interest in drilling an additional five prospects.
According to Eni data supplied to Mexico's National Hydrocarbon Commission, if all these 12 wells were successful, Eni and its partners could add a combined gross 2.14 billion boe in reserves.
Mexico has the potential to become an important component in Eni's future, said Marco Baltazar, upstream analyst at Wood Mackenzie in Houston.
"Mexico offers Eni a significant opportunity to raise its cash flow and production rapidly due to the country's low breakeven cost," Baltazar said.
An Eni spokeswoman in Milan declined comment Friday on the company's Mexico plans.
