据7月30日NS Energy报道，美国油气勘探公司阿帕奇及其合作伙伴道达尔在苏里南近海获得了重大石油发现。

这些石油是由58号区块Noble Sam Croft钻探的Kwaskwasi-1井发现的，阿帕奇公司持有50%的股份，道达尔公司作为合作伙伴持有剩余股份。

这口井的钻探深度约为6645米，测试了上白垩统Campanian和Santonian层段中是否存在油气。

这是苏里南海域继1月份和4月份发现油气资源后，连续第三次发现油气资源。

阿帕奇公司表示，第一批流体样本和测试结果表明，在两个层段内，净油和挥发性油气凝析油的产量层约为278米。

据该公司介绍，较浅的Campanian油层包含约63米的净油层和86米的净挥发性油气凝析油层。

阿帕奇将在58号区块开采第四个远景区Keskesi，该公司首席执行官兼总裁John J. Christmann表示:“这是迄今为止我们在该盆地所钻的最优质的一口井，在质量最好的储层中，净产量最高。尽管我们还有很多工作要做，但对这种质量和规模的发现值得我们加快评估步伐，从而可以选择加速首次生产。”

该公司表示，58号区块占地140万英亩，除了Kwaskwasi、Sapakara West和Maka Central的发现外，该区块还有巨大的潜力。

Apache and Total make major oil discovery offshore Suriname

US-based hydrocarbon exploration company Apache and its partner Total have made a major oil discovery offshore Suriname.

The oil was discovered at the Kwaskwasi-1 well drilled by the Noble Sam Croft in Block 58, where Apache is the operator with a 50% stake and Total as its partner holding the remaining stake.

The well, which was drilled to a depth of about 6,645 meters, was tested for the presence of hydrocarbons in multiple stacked targets in the upper Cretaceous-aged Campanian and Santonian intervals.

The discovery of hydrocarbon resource is marked as the third consecutive discovery offshore Suriname, following discoveries in April and January.

Apache said that the first fluid samples and test results have indicated approximately 278 meters of net oil and volatile oil / gas condensate pay in two intervals.

According to the company, the shallower Campanian interval contains around 63 meters of net oil pay and 86 meters of net volatile oil / gas condensate pay.

Apache to drill Keskesi, the fourth prospect in Block 58

Apache CEO and president John J. Christmann said: “This is the best well we’ve drilled in the basin to date, with the highest net pay in the best quality reservoirs.

“While we have a lot more work to do, a discovery of this quality and magnitude merits a pace of evaluation that enables the option of accelerated first production.”

The company said that the Block 58, which consists of 1.4 million acres, provides significant potential beyond the discoveries at Kwaskwasi, Sapakara West and Maka Central.
