Beacon Offshore Energy 已就美国墨西哥湾 Winterfell 油田开发做出最终投资决定 (FID)。

Winterfell 石油发现计划开发为海底回接，由该公司的子公司 BOE Exploration & Production 运营。

它于 2021 年首次发现，当时 Winterfell 油井在两个层段与近 26m 的净油层相交。随后于次年钻探了 Winterfell-2 评价井。

该开发计划包括通过最近安装的一条 21 公里长的海底回接系统将油田连接到 Heidelberg Spar。Heidelberg Spar 位于 Green Canyon 860 区块，由阿纳达科石油公司 (Anadarko Petroleum) 运营。

Winterfell 油田预计将于 2024 年第二季度初产出第一批石油。该油田最初的三口井预计总产量约为每天 22,000 桶油当量 (boepd)。

Beacon Offshore Energy首席执行官斯科特·古特曼(Scott Gutterman)表示：“这项投资决定是临冬城项目的一个重要里程碑，体现了我们对安全、高效开发位于墨西哥湾深水区的物质运营资源的承诺。”

“我们的技术和商业团队不断开发解决方案，为我们的合作伙伴提供双赢的结果。

“在Winterfell，我们正在通过执行应用于裸眼完井的水平钻井技术来释放盐下油田的潜力，同时确保进入附近的Heidelberg Spar和具有可用空缺的相关下游基础设施。”

Beacon Offshore Energy在中新世古老发现区拥有35.41%的权益，该发现区主要位于Green Canyon 943、944、987和988区块。该发现区水深约为5,200英尺。

Winterfell发现的其他利益相关者包括Kosmos Energy（25.04％）、Westlawn GOM Asset 3（15％）、Red Willow Offshore（12.5％）、Alta Mar Energy（Winterfell）（持有7.55％股权）和CSL Exploration（4.5％） 。

Beacon Offshore Energy has taken final investment decision (FID) on the Winterfell field development in the US Gulf of Mexico.

The Winterfell oil discovery, which is planned to be developed as a subsea tieback, is operated by the company’s subsidiary BOE Exploration & Production.

It was first discovered in 2021 when the Winterfell well intersected nearly 26m of net oil pay in two intervals. This was followed by drilling of the Winterfell-2 appraisal well in the following year.

The development plan involves connecting the field through a recently installed 21km long subsea tieback to the Heidelberg spar. Situated in Green Canyon Block 860, the Heidelberg spar is operated by Anadarko Petroleum.

First oil from the Winterfell field is anticipated to be achieved in early Q2 2024. From its three initial wells, the field is expected to yield gross production of around 22,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd).

Beacon Offshore Energy CEO Scott Gutterman said: “The investment decision represents an important milestone for the Winterfell project and reflects our commitment to safely and efficiently develop material operated resources located in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico.

“Our technical and commercial teams continue to develop solutions that provide win-win outcomes for our partners.

“At Winterfell we are unlocking the sub-salt field’s potential via the execution of horizontal drilling technology applied to open hole completions while securing access to the nearby Heidelberg spar and associated downstream infrastructure with available ullage.”

Beacon Offshore Energy has a stake of 35.41% in the Miocene aged discovery, which is located mainly in Green Canyon blocks 943, 944, 987, and 988. The water depth of the discovery is around 5,200ft.

The other stakeholders in the Winterfell discovery are Kosmos Energy (25.04%), Westlawn GOM Asset 3 (15%), Red Willow Offshore (12.5%), Alta Mar Energy (Winterfell) with 7.55% stake, and CSL Exploration (4.5%).
