TotalEnergies 在纳米比亚近海的最新勘探井是一个干井。

Deepsea Mira半潜式钻井平台在奥兰治盆地2913B区块的Marula-1X井中钻探至6,460米深。该井的设计目标是Marula扇形复合体中的阿尔布期砂岩，位于Venus-1X井以南47公里处。

然而，主要目标区域内并未发现碳氢化合物。钻井作业完成后，钻机将退役。

TotalEnergies 合作伙伴 Impact Oil & Gas 的首席执行官 Siraj Ahmed 表示：“初步数据证实，Marula 油田的勘探结果令人失望。不过，我们将整合获取的全套油井数据进行评估，以充分发挥该区块的潜力。”

2913B区块面积8215平方公里，水深达3000米。Impact公司于2014年作为原始作业者获得该区块的开采许可，采集二维和三维地震数据，以确定Venus油田的突破性发现，该油田随后由TotalEnergies公司进行钻探。

TotalEnergies’ latest exploration well offshore Namibia was a dry hole.

The Deepsea Mira semisub drilled the Marula-1X well to 6,460 m MD on Block 2913B in the Orange Basin. The well was designed to target Albian age sandstones within the Marula fan complex, 47 km south of the Venus-1X well.

However, there were no hydrocarbons in the primary target. Following completion of drilling operations, the rig will be demobilized.

Siraj Ahmed, CEO of TotalEnergies’ partner Impact Oil & Gas, said, “The initial data…confirms a disappointing outcome for the Marula prospect. However, the full suite of well data acquired will be integrated into the evaluation to realize the block’s full potential.”

Block 2913B covers an 8,215-sq-km area in water depths up to 3,000 m. Impact entered the license in 2014 as the original operator, acquiring 2D and 3D seismic data to define the breakthrough Venus oil discovery, drilled subsequently by TotalEnergies.
