石油设备网讯 据碳氢加工网6月11日报道称，埃克森美孚公司表示，它将继续在阿根廷推进一个石油开发项目，该项目在五年内日产量可达5.5万桶石油当量。
该公司表示，该项目将包括90口井，一个中央生产设施以及连接管道和炼油厂的出口基础设施。
然而，该国上个月向包括埃森克美孚在内的企业发放了其南部沿海18个地区的碳氢化合物勘探许可证，以增加油气储备。过去十年，由于监管规定阻碍了外国对能源行业的投资，阿根廷石油储备有所下降。
埃森克美孚表示，如果扩建成功，它可能会投资该区块的第二阶段，这一阶段将产生高达7.5万桶/天的石油。
埃克森美孚阿根廷勘探公司拥有该区块90％的股权，而GasyPetróleodellNeuquén持有其余股份。

Exxon to proceed with oil development in Argentina
Exxon Mobil Corp said it was going ahead with an oil development project in Argentina that could produce up to 55,000 barrels of oil-equivalent per day (boepd) within five years.
The project will include 90 wells, a central production facility and export infrastructure connected to a pipeline and refineries, the company said.
However, the country last month awarded permits for hydrocarbon exploration in 18 areas off its southern coast to companies, including Exxon, to boost its reserves, which fell in the last decade due to regulations that discouraged foreign investment in the energy sector.
If the expansion is successful, Exxon said it could invest in a second phase in the block, which would produce up to 75,000 boepd.
ExxonMobil Exploration Argentina operates the block and holds a 90 percent interest, while Gas y Petróleo del Neuquén holds the rest.
