據美國鉆井網站2022年8月2日報道，巴西國家石油公司（巴國油/Petrobras）8月2日證實，該公司日前在位于哥倫比亞海上深水區的Tyrona區塊的Uchuva-1勘探井獲得了新的天然氣發現。  

作為運營商，巴國油擁有44.44%的開采權益，而哥倫比亞國家石油公司則擁有56.54%的權益，發現井位于距離哥倫比亞海岸19.9英里處海域，距離圣瑪爾塔市47.2英里，水深大約2723英尺。  

巴國油在聲明中表示，這個發現是該國際財團通過應用新的地質和地球物理技術解決方案提高數據利用率的結果，增加了深水區作業的專門技能。  

Tayrona區塊是巴西國油積極投資組合管理的投資組合之一，這個新領域的開發與公司的戰略支柱相一致，即將其價值最大化，專注于深水和超深水資產的勘探和開發。取得的成果增加了在哥倫比亞開發勘探和生產新前沿的遠景構造。 

國際財團將繼續在Tayrona區塊開展油氣活動，旨在評估新的天然氣聚集的規模。

哥倫比亞國家石油公司總裁Felipe Bayón說：“這一發現對哥倫比亞國家石油公司和哥倫比亞來說意義重大，因為它證實了加勒比地區作為我國主要天然氣來源之一的重要性。我們非常高興在Chuchupa-Ballenas附近地區開辟這一新的疆域，這些天然氣田標志著我們海上作業40年的歷史達到里程碑，并對國家的‘氣化’作出了重大貢獻。這對1000多萬在日常生活中使用天然氣的哥倫比亞家庭來說是個好消息。”

Petrobras Hits Gas Off Colombia

Petrobras has confirmed a new natural gas find in Colombian deep waters in the Uchuva-1 exploratory well in the Tyrona Block.

Petrobras, as the operator, holds 44.44 percent working interest, with Ecopetrol holding a 56.54 percent interest in the well located 19.9 miles off the coast and 47.2 miles from the city of Santa Marta, in a water depth of approximately 2723 feet.

This discovery is the result of the consortium's actions to enhance the use of data through the application of new geological and geophysical technological solutions, added to the expertise in deep water operations, Petrobras informed in its statement.

The Tayrona Block is in Petrobras' portfolio for active portfolio management and the opening of this new frontier is aligned with the company's strategic pillar of maximizing its value with a focus on exploration of deep and ultra-deepwater assets. The result achieved increases the prospects for developing a new frontier of exploration and production in Colombia.

The consortium will continue its activities in the Tayrona Block, aiming to assess the dimensions of the new gas accumulation.

“This discovery is very significant for Ecopetrol and Colombia because it ratifies the importance of the Caribbean as one of the main sources of gas for our country. We are very pleased to open this new frontier in an area near Chuchupa-Ballenas, gas fields that have marked the history of our offshore operations for four decades and have contributed significantly to the "gasification" of the country. This is great news for the more than 10 million Colombian families that today use gas in their daily lives,” said the president of Ecopetrol, Felipe Bayón.
