Talos Energy 宣布，位于美国墨西哥湾沃克岭 106、107、150 和 151 区块的 Daenerys 勘探区钻探取得成功。

该发现井采用West Vela深水钻井船钻探，总垂直深度达33,228英尺，并在多个优质盐下中新统砂岩中发现了油层。现场实施了全面的电缆作业，采集了岩心、流体和测井数据，以评估油藏。

该井比计划提前约12天完成，并节省了约1600万美元的预算。目前正在规划一口评估井，以进一步明确已发现的资源量。该发现井已暂时停用，以保留其未来用途。

Talos总裁兼首席执行官Paul Goodfellow表示：“我们相信这些结果支持Talos钻探前的资源假设。我们目前正与合作伙伴密切合作，设计一个评估方案，以进一步描述这一激动人心的发现。我们预计将于2026年第二季度开钻该评估井。”

Talos Energy announced successful drilling results at the Daenerys exploration prospect located in the US Gulf of Mexico Walker Ridge blocks 106, 107, 150, and 151.

The discovery well was drilled to a total vertical depth of 33,228 ft using the West Vela deepwater drillship and encountered oil pay in multiple high-quality, sub-salt Miocene sands. A comprehensive wireline program was conducted, acquiring core, fluid and log data to evaluate the reservoir.

The well was drilled approximately 12 days ahead of schedule and delivered approximately $16 million under budget. Planning is underway for an appraisal well to further define the discovered resource. The discovery well has been temporarily suspended to preserve its future use.

Talos President and CEO Paul Goodfellow stated, “We believe these results support Talos’s pre-drill resource assumptions. We are now working closely with our partners to design an appraisal program that will further delineate this exciting discovery. We anticipate spudding the appraisal well in Q2 of 2026.”
