Jadestone Energy plc 提供了位于澳大利亚近海 Montara 油田的 Skua-11ST 井钻探的最新情况。

公司将于 2025 年 7 月 24 日发布其 2025 年上半年的交易报表。Skua

-11ST 钻探最新情况

Skua-11ST 井已达到目标深度，分析证实存在超过 900 米的优质储层，是之前任何一口 Skua 井已完成的储层段的两倍多。因此，预计初始产量将超过之前披露的 3,500 桶/天的估计值。油井作业即将完工，在钻井平台退役后，Skua-11ST 井预计将于 2025 年 8 月初投产。

如前所述，Skua-11ST 作业的时间比原计划要长。 Skua-11ST 井的总资本成本目前估计约为 9600 万至 1 亿美元，而 2025 年 5 月披露的预期成本为 7000 万美元[1]。Jadestone 无法控制的几个因素导致了油井成本的增加，包括重大天气事件和复员计划的变更，这些因素估计增加了 1300 万至 1400 万美元。此外，钻井过程中的运营因素需要额外的钻机运行天数，这构成了剩余的增量成本。Jadestone

首席执行官 T. Mitch Little 表示：

“Skua-11ST 钻井活动即将结束，我要赞扬该项目迄今为止以安全且环保的方式执行。我们期待 Skua-11ST 井一旦投入使用，将为集团的产量带来显著增长，这将立即降低 Montara 的单位运营成本，并将油田寿命延长一年。这将进一步增强我们之前宣布的成本管理举措，我们计划将这些举措扩展到集团的其他部门。”

此次钻探活动的经验将被融入到 Skua 地区未来任何油井的规划中，这是我更广泛关注的推动卓越运营的一部分，旨在改善项目交付并提高整个业务的利润率。”

Skua-11ST Drilling Update

The Skua-11ST well has reached target depth, with analysis confirming the presence of over 900 meters of high-quality reservoir, more than double the reservoir section completed in any of the previous Skua wells. As a result, initial production rates are expected to exceed previously disclosed estimates of 3,500 bbls/d. Well operations are nearing completion, and following demobilisation of the drilling rig, the Skua-11ST well is expected to be brought onstream in early August 2025.

As previously disclosed, the Skua-11ST campaign has taken longer than originally planned. The total capital cost of the Skua-11ST well is now estimated at approximately US$96-100 million, compared to the US$70 million expected cost disclosed in May 2025[1]. Several factors outside Jadestone’s control resulted in the well cost increase, including significant weather events and changes to the demobilization plan which have added an estimated US$13-14 million. Additionally, operational factors during drilling required additional rig days and account for the remainder of the incurred incremental cost.

T. Mitch Little, Chief Executive Officer of Jadestone, commented:

“The Skua-11ST drilling campaign is nearing its conclusion, and I want to recognize the safe and environmentally responsible way the program has been executed to date. We look forward to Skua-11ST adding meaningful volumes to Group production once tied in, which will immediately reduce unit operating costs at Montara and extend field life by a year. This will add to our previously announced cost management initiatives that we intend to expand to other parts of the Group.

Learnings from this drilling campaign will be integrated into the planning of any future wells in the Skua area, as part of my broader focus on driving operational excellence to both improve project delivery and enhance margins across the business.”
