據(jù)鉆探承包商網(wǎng)站6月23日報道，日前英國石油公司（BP）宣布，美國墨西哥灣Manuel項目的安全啟動是一個重要的里程碑，這是預(yù)計2021年全球交付的五個主要項目中的第四個。Manuel包括一個新的海底生產(chǎn)系統(tǒng)，用于連接到Na Kika平臺的兩口新井。這些井預(yù)計將使平臺總產(chǎn)量增加20100桶油當(dāng)量/天。

　　BP墨西哥灣和加拿大高級副總裁Starlee Sykes表示，Manuel正是那種對我們在墨西哥灣的業(yè)務(wù)增長至關(guān)重要的高價值項目。Bp專注且有彈性的油氣業(yè)務(wù)是我們戰(zhàn)略的關(guān)鍵支柱。這家初創(chuàng)公司是我們團隊致力于安全可靠運營的又一個例子。

　　BP運營的油井，鉆井深度約為 21,000 英尺，位于Na Kika平臺東南部，距新奧爾良海岸約 140 英里。BP和殼牌各持有Manuel開發(fā)項目50%的工作權(quán)益。

　　BP項目、生產(chǎn)和運營高級副總裁Ewan Drummond表示，我們在Manuel的謹慎投資是我們目標(biāo)的一部分，即到2021年底，新項目將增加90萬桶油當(dāng)量/日的產(chǎn)量。在我們最熟悉的流域安全生產(chǎn)彈性碳氫化合物是推進我們轉(zhuǎn)型為綜合性能源公司戰(zhàn)略的核心。

　　BP announces startup of Manuel project in US Gulf of Mexico

　　BP announced a significant milestone with the safe startup of the Manuel project in the US Gulf of Mexico, the fourth of five major projects expected to be delivered globally in 2021. Manuel includes a new subsea production system for two new wells tied into the Na Kika platform. The wells are expected to boost gross platform production by an estimated 20,100 BOE/day.

　　“Manuel is exactly the type of high-value project that is critical to growing our business here in the Gulf of Mexico. bp’s focused and resilient hydrocarbons business is a key pillar of our strategy. This startup is another example of our team’s commitment to safe and reliable operations,” said Starlee Sykes, BP Senior VP Gulf of Mexico and Canada.

　　The BP-operated wells, drilled to a depth of approximately 21,000 ft, are located southeast of the Na Kika platform, approximately 140 miles off the coast of New Orleans. BP and Shell each hold a 50% working interest in the Manuel development.

　　“Our disciplined investment in Manuel is part of our target to add 900,000 BOE/day of production from new projects by the end of 2021. The safe production of resilient hydrocarbons in the basins we know best is core to advancing our strategy to transform into an integrated energy company,” said Ewan Drummond, BP Senior VP of Projects, Production and Operations.
