据钻机地带网站2019年8月16日休斯顿报道，咨询公司韦斯特伍德全球能源集团(Westwood Global Energy Group)15日透露，今年上半年全球获得了16个每个储量估计超过1亿桶油当量的发现。

韦斯特伍德全球能源集团表示，这一数字已经超过了2018年全年获得的高影响力发现。他指出，今年全球迄今为止最大的发现是天然气。

如韦斯特伍德全球能源集团所强调的那样，今年上半年全球最重要的两个天然气和两个石油发现如下：

天然气

?丁科夫气田(大约14万亿立方英尺天然气储量)——俄罗斯海上

?格劳卡斯气田(4.5万亿立方英尺天然气储量)——塞浦路斯海上

石油

?Yellowtail油田(3亿多桶石油储量)——圭亚那海上

?Tilapia 油田 (3亿多桶石油储量)——圭亚那海上

韦斯特伍德全球能源集团指出，今年上半年，全球有51口高影响力探井完钻，而2018年同期只有36口。

韦斯特伍德全球能源集团预计，到今年年底前，全球将再完钻35至40口高影响力探井，这将使今年全球高影响力探井总数超过85口。韦斯特伍德指出，这将比去年的水平增加35%。

韦斯特伍德全球能源集团说，全球高影响力钻井热点地区将是苏里南-圭亚那盆地、MSGBC盆地、墨西哥湾和欧洲西北部。

上月，挪威雷斯塔能源公司宣布，全球上半年常规油气发现继续显示出“有希望的增长”。该公司透露，全球今年上半年新发现的油当量总计67亿桶。

根据来自GlobalDta公司7月份的一份报告，哥伦比亚在第二季度发现的石油和天然气储量最多。

High-Impact Discoveries Already Greater than 2018

Sixteen discoveries estimated to be larger than 100 million barrels of oil equivalent (boe) were made in the first half of the year, Westwood Global Energy Group has revealed.

This figure is already greater than the whole of 2018, according to Westwood, which pointed out that the largest finds so far this year have been gas discoveries.

The top two gas and oil finds in 2019, as highlighted by Westwood, can be seen below:

Gas

?Dinkov (approximately 14 Trillion cubic feet) – offshore Russia

?Glaucus (4.5 Tcf) - offshore Cyprus.

Oil

?Yellowtail (>300 million barrels) – offshore Guyana

?Tilapia (>300 million barrels) - offshore Guyana

In the first half of this year, 51 high-impact exploration wells were completed, compared to 36 during the same period in 2018, Westwood noted.

The company projects that a further 35 to 40 high-impact exploration wells will complete by the end of the year, which would take the total tally to more than 85 wells in 2019. Westwood pointed out that this would be a 35 percent increase on 2018 levels.

High impact drilling hot-spots will be the Suriname-Guyana Basin, the MSGBC, the Gulf of Mexico and Northwest Europe, according to Westwood.

Last month, Rystad Energy announced that global discoveries of conventional oil and gas continued to show “promising growth”. The company revealed that new finds totaled 6.7 billion boe in the first half of 2019.

According to a report from GlobalData in July, Colombia saw the most oil and gas discoveries in the second quarter.
