壳牌公司在埃及近海地中海东北部阿姆雷亚地区钻探了Sirius-1X勘探天然气井。该井达到目标深度2115米，并在目标Sirius储层段发现了令人鼓舞的初步迹象。

这口井是壳牌公司2026年钻探的第一口勘探井，也是该公司扩大其在埃及地中海特许经营区天然气勘探和生产活动计划的一部分。钻探活动始于东北阿姆雷亚地区的Mina West-2井和Sirius井。

Sirius油田的发现有望在2027年做出早期开发决定。该油田计划于2029年投入生产，作为Mina West开发项目的后期阶段。

Mina West-2 井的钻井作业仍在继续，预计该井将于年底前开始生产。

Shell drilled the Sirius-1X exploratory gas well in the Northeast Amreya area of the Mediterranean Sea offshore Egypt. The well reached a target depth of 2,115 m and encountered encouraging initial indications within the targeted Sirius reservoir interval.

The well is Shell’s first exploration well drilled in 2026 as part of the company’s program to expand gas exploration and production activities in its Mediterranean concession areas in Egypt. The drilling campaign began with the Mina West-2 and Sirius wells in the Northeast Amreya area.

The Sirius discovery could move toward an early development decision in 2027. The field is planned to be tied into production in 2029 as a later phase of the Mina West development.

Drilling operations on the Mina West-2 well are continuing, with the well expected to begin production before the end of the year.
