① 尽管自2008年页岩气开采以来,美国原油产量增长了140%,天然气产量增长了50%,但输送这种新能源的中游基础设施却没有跟上。这对我们来说是个大问题,因为管道是最安全、最经济的能源运输方式; ② 此外,根据美国能源部在2019年年度能源展望中刚刚发布的模型,石油和天然气至少在2050年前仍将是美国能源的主要来源; ③ 美国三分之一的原油产量来自德克萨斯州西部的二叠纪盆地,该盆地正面临着石油生产激增带来的管道瓶颈。然而,随着我国最大油田的扩建工程继续迎头赶上,大部分问题将得到纠正。毕竟,尽管这条管道比你想象的要坚固,但在石油丰富的德克萨斯州,“环保组织”对这条管道的抵制并不像在其他州那样有力; ④ 相比之下,纽约和新英格兰的6个州才是我们管道问题的真正源头,尽管“环保主义者”在日常生活中严重依赖石油和天然气,但他们仍然坚决反对新建管道; ⑤ 全球平均每年石油需求增长约150万桶/天,天然气使用增长约60亿立方英尺/天。如果石油管道的限制阻碍了美国满足这些日益增长的需求,地缘政治对我们的影响可能是可怕的。
在伦敦登记注册的Sound Energy在摩洛哥东部的Tendrara陆上开采区钻探的TE-7井获得气流。根据最初24小时裸眼测试数据推测,该井流量可达880万立方英尺/天。Sound在月初宣布TE-7井在TAGI砂岩中气柱高度为28m后进行了该项测试。TAGI储层整体接触高度为837m,包括长达700m的近于水平的剖面。Sound计划将完成对该井的机械刺激并对水平剖面进行整体测试,预计会在十一月中旬获得结果。

London-listed Sound Energy has flowed gas from the TE-7 well at the Tendrara licence onshore Eastern Morocco.The well achieved a flow rate of 8.8 million cubic feet per day during an initial 24-hour, unstimulated, open hole test of the first 28% of the gross reservoir in the well, with the results above Sound’s estimates.The test came after Sound announced earlier this month the TE-7 well had hit an estimated 28 metres of net gas pay in the TAGI sandstones.The total contact length through the TAGI reservoir was roughly 837 metres, including a 700-metre sub-horizontal section.Sound now plans to complete mechanical stimulation of the well and test the entire sub-horizonal section, with results expected mid-November.

ExxonMobil子公司Esso Exploration and Production Guyana Limited(EEPGL)宣布已与SBM Offshore签订一项浮式生产、储存和卸载(FPSO)船舶合同,这是Liza油田开始首次生产的关键步骤。根据合同,SBM Offshore将为FPSO执行前端工程和设计,且2017年该项目的最终投资决定达成后,SBM将建造、安装和运营该船舶。ExxonMobil12月初向圭亚那自然资源部提交了Liza油田的生产许可证申请和初步开发计划。Liza油田的潜在可开采资源预计超过10亿桶油当量,该油田位于Stabroek区块,距离圭亚那海岸约120英里(193公里)。
Pioneer Natural Resources Company (NYSE:PXD) today announced that the Company closed the previously announced acquisition of approximately 28,000 net acres in the Midland Basin from Devon Energy for $435 million, before normal closing adjustments.The acquired acreage is located in Martin, Midland, Upton, Reagan, Glasscock, Andrews, Dawson, Gaines and Howard counties. Current net production is approximately 1,400 barrels of oil equivalent per day (BOEPD), with oil comprising approximately 65% of the production. Substantially all of the acreage is held by production.
Substantially all of the 28,000 net acres is located in the core of the Midland Basin, with significant portions of the acreage acquired offsetting existing Pioneer acreage. Of the core acreage acquired, approximately 15,000 net acres are located in the Sale Ranch area in Martin County and northern Midland County where Pioneer has drilled its most productive Wolfcamp B wells. Pioneer expects to utilize three horizontal rigs to drill the newly added Sale Ranch area locations. The Company will immediately begin the title work, permitting process and facility construction in preparation for the expected initial production from these locations during the first half of 2017.
