中国国有石油天然气巨头中海油周一宣布，其  在中国近海渤海湾中深层中生界油气藏勘探方面取得突破。

中海油专门从事国内外海上勘探和生产，目前正在勘探位于渤海湾东部的龙口 7-1 油田的一口发现井。该井钻探和完井深度约为 4,400 米（14,436 英尺），共遇到 76 米（249 英尺）厚的油气储层。

据该公司介绍，该井经测试产出原油约210立方米、天然气近100万立方米，创下了渤海湾天然气测试产量的新纪录。

中海油副首席勘探官徐长贵在一份声明中表示：“此次成功钻井表明了中海油对中深层油气资源开采的理解和技术能力。我们获得的专业知识将指导我们在中国近海类似油气资源的勘探工作。”

中海油等中国国有能源巨头正在加大国内石油和天然气勘探和生产，以响应政府的增产指导方针，增强中国国内能源供应和能源安全。

上月底，中海油 启动了 南海新开发项目的原油生产。

中海油 宣布 启动位于南海东部的恩平21-4油田开发项目。该项目预计在2025年达到轻质原油日产量约5,300桶油当量（boepd）的峰值。

 该公司在 3 月份表示，将 2023 年的石油和天然气产量提高至创纪录的 6.78 亿桶油当量 (boe)，高于 6.5 亿桶油当量的预期 。

 为了提高石油和天然气的储量和产量，中海油 于 1 月份将其石油和天然气产量目标及资本支出提高至历史新高。

今年以来，中海油宣布 在中国近海发现两处重大油田 。

Chinese state-held oil and gas giant CNOOC said on Monday it had achieved an exploration breakthrough in medium-to-deep Mesozoic plays in the Bohai Bay offshore China.

CNOOC, which specializes in offshore exploration and production in China and abroad, was exploring a discovery well in the Longkou 7-1 oilfield in eastern Bohai Bay. The well was drilled and completed at a depth of approximately 4,400 meters (14,436 ft), encountering a total of 76 meters (249 ft) of oil and gas pay zones.

The well was tested to produce about 210 cubic meters of crude oil and nearly one million cubic meters of natural gas, a new record for gas tested productivity in Bohai Bay, according to the Chinese firm.

The successful well shows CNOOC’s “understanding and technological capabilities in tapping resources in medium-to-deep plays. The expertise we gained will guide our exploration in similar plays offshore China,” Xu Changgui, CNOOC’s deputy chief exploration officer, said in a statement.

CNOOC and other Chinese state-owned energy giants are boosting domestic oil and gas exploration and production to keep up with government guidance for increased production to enhance China’s domestic energy supply and energy security.

At the end of last month, CNOOC launched crude oil production from a new development project in the South China Sea.

CNOOC announced the start of the Enping 21-4 Oilfield Development Project in the eastern South China Sea. The project is expected to reach peak production of about 5,300 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boepd) of light crude oil in 2025.

The company boosted its 2023 oil and gas production to a record-high of 678 million barrels of oil equivalent (boe), above the 650 million boe guidance, it said in March.

CNOOC hiked in January its oil and gas production targets and capital expenditures to record-high levels as it looks to boost reserves and production.

Since the beginning of this year, CNOOC has announced two major oil discoveries offshore China.
