Equinor 让 Breidablikk 提前上线

与 Grane 相连的海底油田预计峰值产量为 60,000 桶/天。

Equinor 主导的耗资 20 亿美元的北海 Breidablikk 油田开发项目于 10 月 20 日开始投产,比原计划提前 4 个月,且符合预算。该海底油田与 Grane 平台相连,蕴藏着近 2 亿桶可采石油。

Breidablikk 正在开发中,使用 4 个模板钻探 22 口海底井。海底设施和 Grane 平台之间已经安装了管道和电缆,该平台已经过改造以接收新的碳氢化合物量。

Equinor 负责项目、钻井和采购的执行副总裁 Geir Tungesvik 表示:“Breidablikk 将在预算范围内提前 4 个月投产,初始产量高于预期。”该项目利润丰厚。 “为市场提供了重要的产量,将为挪威社会和业主创造巨大的价值。该项目已投入近500万工时。”

当开发和运营计划 (PDO) 于 2020 年 9 月提交时,Breidablikk 计划于 2024 年上半年开始生产,包括 5 口井的预钻和完井。目前,已经钻探了 8 口井,更多井的钻探将持续到 2025 年底。

Equinor 挪威勘探和生产执行副总裁 Kjetil Hove 表示:“到 2060 年,Breidablikk 可以帮助延长 Grane 油田的生产寿命和约 1,000 个与运营相关的就业岗位。” “在陆上,这是一项具有成本效益的开发。在高峰期,Breidablikk 预计每天向市场输送多达 55,000 至 60,000 桶石油,主要是欧洲。”

来自 Breidablikk 的石油在 Grane 进行加工,然后通过管道输送到脴ygarden 的 Sture 码头。未来几年,石油将占 Sture 出口量的 15% 左右。

Equinor 经营 Breidablikk,拥有 39% 的工作权益。合作伙伴包括V挪威能源公司(34.4%)、Petoro(22.2%)和康菲斯堪迪纳维亚公司(4.4%)。

Breidablikk 于 1992 年被发现,位于北海中部,Grane 东北 10 公里处,水深 130 m。

预计 2024 年至 2026 年期间,该油田的日产量将达到约 60,000 桶/日的稳定水平。

Equinor Brings Breidablikk On Line Early

The subsea field tied back to Grane is expected to produce 60,000 B/D at peak.

Production from the $2 billion, Equinor-led Breidablikk field development in the North Sea began on 20 October, 4 months ahead of schedule and within budget. Tied back to the Grane platform, the subsea field holds almost 200 million bbl of recoverable oil.

Breidablikk is being developed with 22 subsea wells drilled from four templates. Pipelines and cables have been installed between the subsea facility and the Grane platform, which has been modified to receive the new hydrocarbon volumes.

"Breidablikk will come on stream 4 months ahead of schedule, within budget, and with higher initial production than expected,” said Geir Tungesvik, Equinor’s executive vice president for projects, drilling, and procurement. “The project is highly profitable, provides important volumes to the market, and will create great value for Norwegian society and the owners. Nearly five million working hours have gone into the project.”

When the plan for development and operation (PDO) was submitted in September 2020, production from Breidablikk was scheduled to start in the first half of 2024, with predrilling and completion of five wells. Now, eight wells have already been drilled, and the drilling of additional wells will continue until the end of 2025.

"Breidablikk can help to extend the productive life and the approximately 1,000 jobs associated with the operation of the Grane field towards 2060,” said Kjetil Hove, Equinor's executive vice president for exploration and production Norway. “By utilizing existing infrastructure both offshore and onshore, this is a cost-effective development. At peak, Breidablikk is expected to send up to 55,000–60,000 bbl of oil to the market daily, mainly to Europe.”

The oil from Breidablikk is processed on Grane and sent ashore by pipeline to the Sture terminal in Øygarden. Oil will account for about 15% of exports from Sture in the years to come.

Equinor operates Breidablikk with a 39% working interest. Partners include Vår Energi ASA (34.4%), Petoro (22.2%), and ConocoPhillips Skandinavia AS (4.4%).

Discovered in 1992, Breidablikk is in the central part of the North Sea, 10 km northeast of Grane, in 130 m of water.

The field is expected to produce at plateau level of around 60,000 B/D in the period 2024 to 2026.
