科威特石油公司（KOC）在Al-Jlaiaa海上油田发现具有大量商业价值的碳氢化合物资源，估计蕴藏着8亿桶中密度油和6000亿标准立方英尺伴生气。
Al-Jlaiaa油田位于科威特领海，面积为74平方公里。
这一发现是在 Jlaiaa 2 井对白垩纪 Zubair 地质储层进行勘探钻探时获得的。
科威特石油公司表示，此次发现对科威特的碳氢化合物资源具有重要补充作用，并强化了对邻近地区其他油藏的评估。
Al-Jlaiaa 油田是继 2024 年 7 月发现 Al-Nokhatha 油田之后，KOC 当前海上石油勘探活动发现的第二个海上油田。
KOC 补充说，目前正在为该地区的第二阶段勘探进行准备，计划对整个约 6,000 平方公里的区域进行 3D 勘测项目。
Kuwait Oil Company (KOC) has made a discovery of hydrocarbon resources with large commercial quantities at the Al-Jlaiaa offshore field, estimated at 800 million of medium-density oil barrels and 600 billion standard cubic feet of associated gas.
The Al-Jlaiaa field, located in Kuwaiti territorial waters, covers an area of 74 square kilometers.
The discovery was made during the exploration drilling at the Zubair geological reservoir from the Cretaceous period in the well Jlaiaa 2.
According to KOC, the discovery makes an important addition to the hydrocarbons resources of Kuwait and reinforces the estimate about other reservoirs existing in the neighboring areas.
The Al-Jlaiaa field is the second offshore field discovered as part of current KOC’s offshore oil exploration campaign, following the discovery of the Al-Nokhatha field in July 2024.
KOC added the preparations are currently underway for the second phase of exploration in the area, with plans to conduct a 3D survey project covering the entire area of around 6,000 square km.
