壳牌的 Valaris 123 即将开始在 Deltic Energy 的 Selene 油田钻探 2024 年的第一口井。Deltic 于 2019 年将该项目转让给壳牌，并于 2024 年 2 月将项目转让给 Dana Petroleum，目前持有 Selene 25% 的权益。

该井旨在收集与储层质量和气体成分有关的所有关键信息，这些信息是支持 Selene 气田潜在开发计划和最终投资决策所必需的，而无需进一步进行评估井。

Deltic 估计，Selene 构造的 Leman 砂岩储层中含有总计 3180 亿立方英尺的 P50 预期资源量，该储层是所有相邻气田（包括 Barque、Clipper 和 West Sole）的关键储层段。

Valaris 123 号于 7 月 21 日从其目前位于北海中部的位置启动，预计将很快抵达 Selene 井，具体时间取决于运输途中遇到的天气情况。钻井作业预计将在不久后开始，作业预计将持续 90 天。

 

 

Shell’s Valaris 123 will soon begin drilling 2024’s first well at Deltic Energy’s Selene prospect. Deltic holds a 25% interest Selene after sourcing the project to Shell in 2019 and Dana Petroleum in February 2024.

The well is designed to collect all key information in relation to reservoir quality and gas composition that is required to support a plan and final investment decision on the potential development of the Selene gas field without the requirement for a further appraisal well.

Deltic estimates the Selene structure to contain gross P50 prospective resources of 318 bcf of gas in the Leman Sandstone reservoir, which is the key reservoir interval in all adjacent gas fields including Barque, Clipper and West Sole.

Valaris 123 was mobilized on 21 July from its current location in the Central North Sea, and is anticipated to arrive at the Selene well soon, depending on weather conditions encountered during transit. Drilling operations are expected to start shortly thereafter, and operations are expected to last 90 days.
