据媒体援引公司代表的话报道,哈萨克斯坦腾吉兹雪佛龙石油公司(TCO)因电力分配系统遭受火灾损坏,已暂停腾吉兹和科罗廖夫油田的生产。

该事件促使相关部门采取预防措施,包括于1月18日暂时关闭这两个油田的生产。路透社1月20日援引业内人士的话报道称,停产可能持续1周至10天。

TCO表示,事件中无人受伤,公司正在与政府合作,以减轻事件的影响。

雪佛龙通过其在TCO合资企业中持有的50%股份运营腾吉兹油田。其他合作伙伴包括哈萨克斯坦国家石油公司KazMunayGas(20%)、埃克森美孚(25%)和卢克石油(5%)。

雪佛龙公司去年完成了位于腾吉兹油田的470亿美元扩建项目,使产能提高了约26万桶/日。该公司当时表示,该项目使整个油田的计划产能提升至约100万桶油当量/日。

田吉兹油田是世界上最大的油田之一,以其被广泛认为是迄今为止开发的最厚的单圈闭油藏而闻名,其油柱高度约为 1 英里。

Fire Forces Temporary Shutdown at Kazakhstan’s Tengiz Oil Field

Damage to power distribution systems prompted precautionary shutdowns at two major oil fields.

Kazakhstan’s Tengizchevroil (TCO) has suspended production at the Tengiz and Korolev oil fields following fire-related damage to power distribution systems, according to media reports citing company representatives.

The incident prompted precautionary measures that included temporarily shutting in production at both fields on 18 January. Reuters reported on 20 January, citing industry sources, that the shutdown could last between 1 week and 10 days.

TCO said no injuries were reported and that it is working with the government to mitigate the impact of the incident.

Chevron operates Tengiz through its 50% stake in the TCO joint venture. Other partners include Kazakhstan’s national oil company KazMunayGas (20%), ExxonMobil (25%), and Lukoil (5%).

Chevron completed a $47-billion expansion project at Tengiz last year, boosting production capacity by about 260,000 B/D. The project lifted planned fieldwide capacity to roughly 1 million BOE/D, the company said at the time.

Tengiz is one of the world’s largest oil fields and is known for what is widely considered as the thickest single-trap reservoir ever developed, with an oil column measuring roughly 1 mile in height.
