據全球能源新聞網4月19日報道，近日，埃尼集團宣布在埃及西部沙漠的Meleiha區塊發現了新的石油和天然氣，儲量約為8500桶/天石油當量。根據以基礎設施為主導的勘探戰略，這些新發現已經與生產相關聯，使現有基礎設施附近的勘探機會最大化。

通過Nada E Deep 1X井在白堊紀-侏羅系Alam El Bueib & Khatatba地層發現60米的凈油氣層，Meleiha SE Deep 1X 井在Matruh & Khatatba地層的白堊紀-侏羅系砂巖中發現了30米的凈油氣層，Emry Deep 21井在Alam El Bueib大型白堊紀砂巖中發現了35米的凈油氣層。這些結果加上2021年總共8口探井的發現，成功率為75%，證實了該地區的潛力。該區塊的其他勘探活動正在進行中，前景看好。

隨著這些發現，埃尼集團通過其與EGPC的合資公司AGIBA，繼續在西部沙漠成熟盆地成功實施近油田戰略，旨在通過控制開發成本和縮短上市時間來實現產量最大化。此外，埃尼集團重申其在西部沙漠的承諾，最近收購了兩個勘探區塊，計劃于2022年在Meleiha承租區進行新的高分辨率三維地震勘探，目的也是根據能源轉型目標調查該地區的天然氣潛力。

埃尼自1954年以來一直在埃及開展業務，通過子公司IEOC開展業務。該公司目前是該國領先的生產商，每天的權益產量約為 36萬桶石油當量。 根據到205 年的凈零排放戰略，埃尼參與了一系列旨在使埃及能源部門脫碳的舉措，包括開發CCS工廠、可再生能源工廠、用于生物精煉的農業原料等。

ENI REPORTS NEW OIL AND GAS DISCOVERIES IN THE WESTERN DESERT OF EGYPT

ENI announces new oil and gas discoveries in the Meleiha concessions, in Egypt’s Western Desert, for approximately 8,500 barrels/day of oil equivalent. These new discoveries have already been connected and tied into production, in line with the Infrastructure-led exploration strategy, allowing to maximize exploration opportunities nearby existing infrastructures.

The results were obtained through Nada E Deep 1X well, which encountered 60m of net hydrocarbon pay in the Cretaceous-Jurassic Alam El Bueib & Khatatba formations, Meleiha SE Deep 1X well, which found 30m of net hydrocarbon pay in the Cretaceous-Jurassic sands of the Matruh & Khatatba formations, and Emry Deep 21 well, which encountered 35m of net hydrocarbon pay in the massive cretaceous sandstones of Alam El Bueib. These results, added to the discoveries of 2021 for total of 8 exploration wells, give a 75% of success rate, confirming the potential of the area. Other exploration activities in the concession are ongoing with promising indications.

With these discoveries, Eni, through AGIBA, a JV between Eni and EGPC, continues to pursue successfully its near field strategy in the mature basin of the Western Desert, aimed at maximizing production by containing development costs and minimizing time to market. In addition, Eni renews its commitment in the Western Desert with the recent acquisition of two exploration blocks with the planning in 2022 of a new high-resolution 3D seismic survey in the Meleiha concession, also aimed at investigating the gas potential of the area, in line with the energy transition goals.

Eni has been present in Egypt since 1954, where it operates through the subsidiary IEOC. The company is currently the leading producer in the country with an equity production of around 360,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. In line with the net-zero strategy by 2050, Eni is engaged in a series of initiatives aimed at decarbonizing the Egyptian energy sector, including the development of CCS plants, renewable energy plants, agro feedstock for bio refining and others.
