石油设备网讯 据路透社圣彼得堡报道，俄罗斯天然气工业股份公司（俄气/Gazprom）一位高级官员表示，该公司预计，到2022年至2023年，开发Bazhenov地层（世界最大的页岩油资源）的成本将逐步下降，达到可接受的生产水平。
俄罗斯拥有丰富的页岩油储量，但这需要比传统石油更多的投资来开发页岩油。与美国不同的是，俄罗斯缺乏大量生产页岩油的技术和资金。
俄气地质勘探和资源基础开发主管阿列克谢·瓦什基维奇对记者表示，该地层页岩油生产的盈亏平衡成本为每吨8500卢布（合132美元）。
他在周一公布的评论中表示：“我们准备在2022年至2023年达到这个数字。”
他说，该公司一直在努力提高效率，包括通过实施最先进的技术。
瓦什基维奇重申，该公司计划在2025年开始从Bazhenov地层进行商业化的石油生产。
国际能源署将Bazhenov描述为世界上最大的源岩，是早在侏罗纪时期古代有机物的温床，它产生了大部分从西西伯利亚地区开采的原油。
据俄气估计，轻质、低硫和低粘度的储量在Bazhenov地层为180亿至600亿吨之间。

Gazprom Neft says Bazhenov shale oil output to reach viability by 2022-2023
Russia’s Gazprom Neft expects lifting costs at Bazhenov formation, the world’s largest shale oil resource, to gradually fall and reach an acceptable level for viable production by 2022-2023, a top company official said on Thursday.
Russia sits on huge reserves of shale oil, which needs more investments for developments than the conventional oil. Unlike the United States, it lacks technology and funds to produce shale oil in large volumes.
The break-even lifting costs for shale oil production at the formation stand at 8,500 rubles ($132) per tonne, Alexei Vashkevich, head of geological exploration and resource base development at Gazprom Neft, told reporters.
“We are ready to get that number in 2022-2023,” he said in comments, cleared for publication on Monday.
He said the company had been working to raise its effectiveness, including via implementation of state-of-the-art technologies.
The company plans to start commercial production of oil from Bazhenov formation in 2025, Vashkevich reiterated.
The International Energy Agency describes Bazhenov as the world’s largest source rock, a bed of ancient organic matter dating back to the Jurassic period which has given rise to most of the crude oil pumped from the fields of West Siberia.
Gazprom Neft estimates that the reserves of the light, low-sulphur and of low-viscosity Bazhenov formation stand at between 18 billion and 60 billion tonnes.
