埃尼完成埃及祖尔大气田最后一口井生产测试

据《埃及每日新闻》12月24日开罗报道，意大利能源巨头埃尼公司日前完成了埃及位于地中海深水区的祖尔大气田第14口也是最后一口井天然气生产测试，这将使祖尔大气田的日总产能达到大约32亿立方英尺。

一名来自石油行业的消息人士告诉《埃及每日新闻》记者，祖尔大气田目前的日产能大约为30亿立方英尺，而这个日产能在明年4月完成建设连接祖尔大气田和埃及国家供气网的天然气管道以后将增加到32亿立方英尺。

这名消息人士说，由于当地市场目前不需要任何额外数量的天然气，因此，其它生产井在第14口井进行生产测试前都已减少了天然气产量。

他补充说，埃及石油部完全能够满足本国发电、工厂、汽车和家庭对天然气的需求并指导用于出口的液化天然气（LNG）运输，由于冬季期间发电厂天然气日消耗量下降大约10亿立方英尺，因此埃及在当前阶段不需要额外数量的天然气。

负责管理祖尔大气田开发的Petro Shorouk公司表示，在2018/19财年，祖尔大气田共完钻了7口井，使该气田已连接并投产的总井数达到了12口。

迄今为止，祖尔大气田开发项目的总投资大约为106亿美元，其中包括今年的30亿美元。

Eni finishes gas production test of Zohr field's last well

The Italian company Eni has completed the production test of the 14th and last well in the Zohr gas field in the deep waters of the Mediterranean, bringing the total production capacity of the field to about 3.2bn cubic feet per day (scf/day).

A source in the petroleum sector told Daily News Egypt that the current production capacity of the field is about 3bn scf/day, and will increase to 3.2bn after completing the implementation of the gas pipeline linking the field to the national grid in April.

He said that production has been reduced from the rest of the wells until the 14th well is tested, which has a production rate of 150-250m scf/day because the local market currently does not need any additional quantities of natural gas.

He added that the Ministry of Petroleum fully meets the needs of electricity generation, factories, cars, and household of natural gas, and directs shipments of LNG for export, and it does not need additional quantities during the current period in light of the decline in consumption of power stations by about 1bn scf/day during the winter.

Petro Shorouk, which is responsible for managing the development of the Zohr field, said that in the fiscal year 2018/19, seven wells were drilled and completed, bringing the total number of wells that were linked and put>The total investments of the Zohr development project amounted to about $10.6bn to date, including $3bn during the year.
