石油设备网讯 据石油和天然气管道新闻8月5日消息，日本石油勘探公司(Japex)在日本东北部北海道海域的海上钻探平台中发现了天然气。
该钻井平台位于北海道Hidaka地区近海50公里处，水深约1070米。勘探钻井作业是经济贸易工业部自然资源局和能源局委托进行的近海勘探项目的一部分。
在当地社区和政府的支持与合作下，这平台已安全钻到海床下约2 530米深处。
在作业过程中获得了各种地质资料的同时，还对识别出天然气存在迹象的气藏进行了生产试验，并取得了稳定的产量。
Japex表示，将对获得的数据进行分析和评估，并将进一步考虑该地区其它勘探机会的可能性。

Japex strikes gas off Japan
Japan Petroleum Exploration (Japex) has found natural gas during a drilling programme offshore in the Hokkaido region off north-east Japan.
The location of the exploration well is 50 kilometres offshore of Hidaka area of Hokkaido with the water depth of approximately 1,070 meters.
The operation of exploratory drilling is a part of the offshore exploration project commissioned by the Agency for Natural Resources and Energy of the Ministry of Economy, Trade and Industry (ANRE).
The well was safely drilled to a depth of approximately 2,530 meters below the seabed, in support of the understanding and cooperation from the local community and local government.
While various geological data were obtained through the operations, production test was also conducted against the gas reservoir where indications of natural gas existence was recognised, and achieved stable gas production.
Japex said it will conduct analysis and evaluation of the data obtained and will further consider the possibility of exploration opportunity in the area.
