法国石油天然气巨头TotalEnergies宣布将几内亚湾尼日利亚海上区块OML130的生产许可证续签20年。

该公司通过其子公司TotalEnergies Upstream尼日利亚持有该特许权24%的运营股份。

OML130 区块距离尼日利亚海岸 150 公里，拥有 Akpo 和 Egina 油田。

Akpo 天然气及凝析油田于 2000 年发现，于 2009 年投产。

2018年12月，TotalEnergies（当时的Total）开始在位于水深近1600m的Egina油田生产。

据法国石油天然气公司称，2022年，OML130区块的产量为每天282,000桶油当量（boe/d）。其中约30%是天然气，被输送到尼日利亚液化天然气工厂，从而为欧洲的能源安全做出了贡献。

TotalEnergies 预计 OML130 的 Akpo West 短周期项目将于今年年底开始生产。

此外，尼日利亚近海区块拥有 Preowei 油田，该油田计划通过连接 Egina 油田的浮式生产储油卸油装置 (FPSO) 进行开发。

TotalEnergies非洲勘探和生产高级副总裁Henri-Max Ndong-Nzue表示：“通过续签OML130许可证，TotalEnergies很高兴继续为尼日利亚石油和天然气行业的发展做出贡献。

“这个 20 年的延期将使我们能够推进 Preowei 回接项目的 FEED 研究，该研究旨在根据公司专注于低成本和低排放资产的战略，利用现有设施来评估发现的价值.”

TotalEnergies 在 OML130 区块的合作伙伴包括中海油 (45%)、Sapetro (15%)、Prime Oil & Gas Cooperatief (16%) 和尼日利亚国家石油公司 (PSC) 的特许经营商。 ）。

非洲石油公司通过其持有 Prime Oil & Gas 50% 的股权，实际持有尼日利亚区块 8% 的股份。

非洲石油公司总裁兼首席执行官基思·希尔 (Keith Hill) 表示：“该许可证是我们在尼日利亚投资的核心，占 Prime 生产和现金流的大部分。它还包括有吸引力的增长机会，例如未开发的 Preowei 石油发现，我们现在可以利用这些机会做出最终的投资决定。

“其他机会包括逐步勘探和评估钻探，这应该会支持未来几年的生产率。”

Located 150km off the coast of Nigeria, the OML130 block hosts the producing Akpo and Egina fields as well as the Preowei discovery, which is planned to be developed through a tie-back to the Egina FPSO

French oil and gas major TotalEnergies has announced a 20-year renewal of the production license of the offshore Nigerian block OML130 in the Gulf of Guinea.

The company, through its subsidiary TotalEnergies Upstream Nigeria, holds an operating stake of 24% in the concession.

Located 150km off the coast of Nigeria, the OML130 block hosts the producing Akpo and Egina fields.

The Akpo gas and condensate field, which was discovered in 2000, came on stream in 2009.

In December 2018, TotalEnergies, then known as Total, began production from the Egina oil field, which is located in water depths of nearly 1,600m.

According to the French oil and gas firm, in 2022, production from the OML130 block was 282,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boe/d). Of this, around 30% was gas, which was transported to the Nigeria LNG plant, thereby contributing to the energy security of Europe.

TotalEnergies expects to begin production from a short-cycle project called Akpo West in OML130 by the end of this year.

Additionally, the offshore Nigerian block holds the Preowei discovery, which is planned to be developed through a tie-back to the floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) at the Egina field.

TotalEnergies Africa exploration and production senior vice president Henri-Max Ndong-Nzue said: “Through the OML130 license renewal, TotalEnergies is pleased to continue its contribution to the development of Nigeria’s oil and gas sector.

“This 20-year extension will enable us to move forward with the FEED studies on the Preowei tie-back project which aims to valorise a discovery using existing facilities in line with Company’s strategy focusing on low-cost and low-emission assets.”

TotalEnergies’ partners in the OML130 block are CNOOC (45%), Sapetro (15%), Prime Oil & Gas Coöperatief (16%) and the Nigerian National Petroleum Company, which is the concessionaire of the production sharing contract (PSC).

Africa Oil has an effective stake of 8% in the Nigerian block via its 50% shareholding in Prime Oil & Gas.

Africa Oil president and CEO Keith Hill said: “This license is the core of our Nigerian investment and accounts for most of Prime’s production and cashflows. It also includes attractive growth opportunities such as the undeveloped Preowei oil discovery, which we can now take forward towards a final investment decision.

“Additional opportunities include step-out exploration and appraisal drilling, that should support production rates over the coming years.”
