阿塞拜疆国家石油公司 SOCAR 已签署现有生产分成合同的附录。该附录适用于阿塞拜疆里海地区阿塞拜疆海域的阿塞拜疆-奇拉格油田和 ACG 深水部分。SOCAR 在该项目中的合作伙伴包括 bp、Equinor、埃克森美孚、INPEX、伊藤忠商事、MOL、ONGC Videsh 和 TPAO。附录对 ACG 生产分成合同进行了修改，允许对 ACG 油田的非伴生天然气 (NAG) 储层进行勘探、评估、开发和生产。

据信这些油藏蕴藏着大量资源，估计天然气储量高达 4 万亿立方英尺。该协议将延长至 2049 年 ACG PSA 结束。如果 NAG 油藏的勘探和评估取得成功，未来 25 年内，该开发项目将获得数十亿美元的资本投资。

ACG 合资方在 NAG 项目中的股份与现有 ACG PSA 的股份相同：bp 占 30.37%，SOCAR 占 25%，MOL 占 9.57%，INPEX 占 9.31%，Equinor 占 7.27%，ExxonMobil 占 6.79%，TPAO 占 5.73%，ITOCHU 占 3.65%，ONGC Videsh 占 2.31%。bp 将继续担任 ACG PSA 的运营商。NAG 油藏由位于当前生产油藏上方和下方的多个地质构造组成，这些油藏最初不属于 ACG PSA。

2022 年，ACG 合资公司和 SOCAR 同意钻探一口数据井，以收集这些油藏的气压数据。该数据井于 2023 年完工，证实在预期压力范围内存在高达 4 万亿立方英尺的天然气资源。根据补充协议，SOCAR 和 ACG 合资公司正在规划 NAG 油藏开发的下一步。第一口井正在现有的 West Chirag 平台上钻探，目标是两个优先油藏，预计 2025 年将首次产气。

SOCAR 将购买第一口井生产的所有天然气。SOCAR 总裁 Rovshan Najaf 表示：“签署这项天然气协议不仅代表着商业上的胜利，也是我们进一步实现能源资源多样化努力的一个战略里程碑。该项目将加强阿塞拜疆作为欧洲主要能源供应国的地位，为我们合作伙伴的能源安全做出贡献。”本月早些时候，埃尼和 SOCAR 签署了三份谅解备忘录，旨在加强能源安全、减少温室气体排放和发展生物燃料生产链。

SOCAR and partners sign addendum for ACG field gas exploration and production

SOCAR, the state oil company of Azerbaijan, has signed an addendum to an existing PSA. The addendum is for the Azeri-Chirag fields and the deepwater portion of the ACG in the Azerbaijan sector of the Caspian Sea. SOCAR’s partners in this venture include bp, Equinor, ExxonMobil, INPEX, ITOCHU, MOL, ONGC Videsh and TPAO. The addendum modifies the ACG PSA to allow for the exploration, appraisal, development and production of the non-associated natural gas (NAG) reservoirs of the ACG field.

These reservoirs are believed to hold significant resources, with estimates of up to four trillion f3 of gas in place. The agreement extends until the end of the ACG PSA in 2049. Subject to the successful exploration and appraisal of the NAG reservoirs, the development could see billions of dollars in capital investment over the next 25 years.

The shares of the ACG co-venturers in the NAG project mirror those of the existing ACG PSA: bp at 30.37%, SOCAR at 25%, MOL at 9.57%, INPEX at 9.31%, Equinor at 7.27%, ExxonMobil at 6.79%, TPAO at 5.73%, ITOCHU at 3.65%, and ONGC Videsh at 2.31%. bp will continue as the operator of the ACG PSA. NAG reservoirs consist of multiple geological formations located above and below the currently producing oil reservoirs, which were not initially part of the ACG PSA.

In 2022, the ACG co-venturers and SOCAR agreed to drill a data well to gather gas pressure data from these reservoirs. Completed in 2023, the data well confirmed the presence of up to 4 trillion f3 of natural gas resources within the expected pressure range. Following the addendum, SOCAR and the ACG co-venturers are planning the next steps for the NAG reservoirs' development. An initial well is being drilled from the existing West Chirag platform, targeting two priority reservoirs, with first gas production expected in 2025.

SOCAR will purchase all gas produced from the initial well. SOCAR President Rovshan Najaf said: “The signing of this gas agreement represents not just a commercial triumph, but also a strategic milestone in our efforts to further diversify our energy resources. This project will bolster Azerbaijan’s role as a key supplier of energy to Europe, contributing to the energy security of our partners.” Earlier this month, Eni and SOCAR signed three memorandums of understanding aimed at enhancing energy security, reducing greenhouse gas emissions and developing a biofuel production chain.
