bp 宣布成功完成北亚历山大海上特许权区 El Fayoum-5 天然气发现井的钻探作业，这是其在西尼罗河三角洲四槽钻探活动中的最后一口井。El

Fayoum-5 使用 Valaris DS-12 钻机进行钻探，于 2025 年 2 月 14 日开钻，并发现了四个潜在的墨西拿气藏，总砂层厚度为 50 米，测量深度约为 2,900 米。

“这加强了 bp 对埃及及其日益增长的能源需求的承诺。”
天然气和低碳执行副总裁 William Lin

正在制定计划，将这一发现与 bp 运营的西尼罗河三角洲 (WND) 天然气开发项目联系起来。这是 bp 近几个月来连续第二次发现天然气，此前在北金马里奥特海上特许权区成功发现 El King-2 井。

天然气和低碳业务执行副总裁 William Lin 评论道：“这加强了 bp 对埃及及其日益增长的能源需求的承诺。随着 Raven Infills 第二阶段已经为生产做出贡献，我们现在正在加快 El King 和 Fayoum 发现的步伐，以与我们在西尼罗河三角洲的基础设施相结合。Raven Infills 的交付完全符合我们在全球范围内发展上游和高品位投资组合的优先事项。”

WND 天然气开发项目由一系列位于埃及近海的凝析气田组成，位于北亚历山大和西地中海深水特许权区内。Raven 油田是 WND 项目的最后阶段，自 2021 年初开始投产。其初始阶段包括开发八个海底油井，距离离岸最远 65 公里，水深从 550 米到 700 米不等。项目运营商 bp 持有 82.75% 的股份，而 Harbour Energy 拥有剩余股份17.25%。

bp has announced the successful completion of drilling operations at the El Fayoum-5 gas discovery well in the North Alexandria Offshore Concession, marking the final well in its four-slot drilling campaign in the West Nile Delta.

Drilled using the Valaris DS-12 rig, El Fayoum-5 was spudded on February 14, 2025, and encountered four prospective Messinian gas reservoirs, with a total sand thickness of 50 meters at a measured depth of approximately 2,900 meters.

"This reinforces bp’s commitment to Egypt and its growing energy needs."

Plans are underway to tie back the discovery to bp’s operated West Nile Delta (WND) Gas Development. This marks bp’s second consecutive gas discovery in recent months, following the successful El King-2 well in the North King Mariout Offshore Concession.

William Lin, EVP gas & low carbon, commented: "This reinforces bp’s commitment to Egypt and its growing energy needs. With Raven Infills Phase 2 already contributing to production, we’re now fast-tracking the El King and Fayoum discoveries to tie into our West Nile Delta infrastructure. The delivery of Raven Infills is fully in line with our priority to grow the upstream and high grade our portfolio across the world.”

The WND Gas Development consists of a series of gas condensate fields located offshore Egypt, within the North Alexandria and West Mediterranean Deepwater concessions. The Raven field, the final phase of the WND project, has been in production since early 2021. Its initial phase included the development of eight subsea wells, located up to 65 km offshore, at water depths ranging from 550 to 700 meters. bp, the project operator, holds an 82.75% stake, while Harbour Energy owns the remaining 17.25%.
