Azule Energy 开始在安哥拉近海钻探 QUI-Q-GP01 井，这是新天然气财团 (NGC) 钻探的第一口井，计划于 2026 年初产出第一批天然气。

钻井作业由自升式钻井平台 Valaris V-144 进行，其钻井深度可达 35,000 英尺。一旦完工，该井将开采 Quiluma 和 Maboqueiro 浅水油田的资源。

这一里程碑紧随Quiluma和Maboqueiro海上平台于2025年竣工之后。NGC由Azule Energy与Sonangol、Cabinda和TotalEnergies合作运营，并将为安哥拉液化天然气项目供应原料气。

Azule Energy began drilling the QUI-Q-GP01 well offshore Angola, the initial well drilled under the New Gas Consortium (NGC), with first gas targeted for early 2026.

Drilling operations are being carried out with the jackup Valaris V-144, capable of reaching depths up to 35,000 ft. Once complete, the well will tap resources in the Quiluma and Maboqueiro shallow-water fields.

This milestone comes on the heels of the 2025 completion of the Quiluma and Maboqueiro offshore platforms. The NGC is operated by Azule Energy in partnership with Sonangol, Cabinda and TotalEnergies, and will supply feed gas to the Angola LNG project.
