瑞典勘探与生产特提斯石油公司12月12日宣布，已暂停位于阿曼苏丹国陆上58区块的Kunooz-1勘探井。

Tethys 在一份新闻稿中表示，这一决定是在流动测试未能证实存在具有商业价值的碳氢化合物之后做出的。该公司对 Ara/Birba 和 Buah 地层进行了裸眼测试。

Tethys 表示，在钻探过程中，Amin 地层中出现了油迹，测试证实了“高质量”储层岩石的存在。Tethys 表示，储层能够“在水流到地表的情况下保持高产量”。此外，该地区还发现了烃源岩和石油系统。

Tethys Oil 表示，此次测试让人们更好地了解了该油田的勘探前景。该公司现在将专注于进一步评估所收集的数据。

Kunooz-1 是 Tethys 在 58 区块的第一口勘探井，总钻探深度约为 3,900 米。据该公司网站称，钻探作业于 8 月 19 日开始，预计将持续约 45 天。

该公司在 12 月 13 日的另一份新闻稿中表示，Tethys 还剥离了其在立陶宛的全部直接和间接持有的权益。

此次出售后，特提斯石油在立陶宛不再拥有任何权益。此次撤资预计不会产生任何财务影响。

Swedish E&P Tethys Oil announced Dec. 12 it has suspended its Kunooz-1 exploration well in Block 58, onshore Sultanate of Oman.

The decision comes after flow testing failed to confirm the presence of commercially-viable hydrocarbons, Tethys said in a press release. The company conducted open hole testing of the Ara/Birba and Buah formations.

During drilling, oil shows were present in the Amin formation and testing confirmed the existence of “high-quality” reservoir rock, Tethys said. The reservoir is able to “maintain high productivity with water flows to surface,” Tethys said. Additionally, source rock and a petroleum system were found in the region.

Tethys Oil said the test gave a better understanding of the prospectivity of the play. The company will now focus on further evaluation efforts of the collected data.

Kunooz-1 is Tethys first exploration well on Block 58, drilled to a total depth of approximately 3,900 m. Drilling operations, which commenced Aug. 19, are expected to be ongoing for about 45 days, according to the company’s site.

Tethys also divested its entire direct and indirect holding of interests in Lithuania, the company said in a separate Dec. 13 release.

As a result of the sale, Tethys Oil has no remaining interests in Lithuania. No financial effect is expected from the divestment.
