bp 埃及公司在距离达米埃塔市以北约 75 公里处发现了一处重要的天然气田，距离该公司的 Temsah 海上设施西北仅 35 公里。这口深水勘探井名为 Salamat，是尼罗河三角洲有史以来最深的井。这是 2010 年 2 月授予北达米埃塔海上特许权的第一口井，由 bp 运营。

该井采用第六代半潜式钻井平台马士基发现者号在水深 649 米处钻探，总深度约为 7,000 米。电缆测井、流体样本和压力数据证实，在萨拉马特 38 米深的渐新世砂岩中存在气体和凝析油。

需要进行进一步评估，以更好地确定油田资源并评估开发该发现的选项。bp 拥有该发现 100% 的股权。

英国石油公司勘探执行副总裁迈克·戴利表示：“这一碳氢化合物柱超过 180 米，增加了我们对东尼罗河三角洲深层渐新世储层重要性的信心。”

bp 埃及区域总裁 Hesham Mekawi 表示，“目前正在评估独立开发方案和与附近 Temsah 基础设施相结合的开发方案。”

 

bp Egypt has made a significant gas discovery around 75 km north of Damietta city and only 35 km to the northwest of the company’s Temsah offshore facilities. The deepwater exploration well, named Salamat, is the deepest well ever drilled in the Nile Delta. It is the first well in the North Damietta Offshore concession granted in February 2010 and operated by bp.

The well was drilled using the sixth-generation semi-submersible rig Maersk Discoverer in water depth of 649 m and reaching a total depth of around 7,000 m. The wireline logs, fluid samples and pressure data confirmed the presence of gas and condensate in 38m net of Oligocene sands in Salamat.

Further appraisal will be required to better define the field resources and to evaluate the options for developing the discovery. bp has 100% equity in the discovery.

“With a hydrocarbon column in excess of 180 m, the discovery increases our confidence in the materiality of the deep Oligocene play in the East Nile Delta,” said Mike Daly, Executive Vice President Exploration at bp:

Hesham Mekawi, bp Egypt Regional President, said, “Standalone and tie-back to the nearby Temsah infrastructure development options are currently being evaluated.”
