中國石化新聞網(wǎng)訊 據(jù)能源之聲8月26日消息稱，殼牌將于明年第一季度開始對(duì)北海的Resolution和Endeavor天然氣發(fā)現(xiàn)進(jìn)行地震研究。

    此前，這家能源巨頭從愛敦資源公司手中接管了許可證經(jīng)營權(quán)，并持有這兩家公司70%的權(quán)益。

    根據(jù)協(xié)議，殼牌將支付獲取和處理3D地震勘探的85%的費(fèi)用，根據(jù)許可證條款，這需要在2021年5月31日前完成。

    殼牌公司將承擔(dān)高達(dá)500萬美元的費(fèi)用，屆時(shí)愛敦公司將負(fù)責(zé)30%的調(diào)查費(fèi)用。

    殼牌還將為油井投資決策支付100%的研究和人力成本。

    愛敦資源公司援引了斯倫貝謝去年發(fā)布的一份人員報(bào)告，該報(bào)告估計(jì)，這些發(fā)現(xiàn)的天然氣儲(chǔ)量為2310億立方英尺。

    愛敦說，由殼牌公司經(jīng)營的許可證“毗鄰”北海南部的北約克郡海岸，Endeavor最早于1966年被道達(dá)爾發(fā)現(xiàn)。
   愛敦資源公司的常務(wù)董事馬克•阿博特表示：“我們很高興將愛敦的這些重要且有潛在價(jià)值的許可證的權(quán)益和經(jīng)營權(quán)轉(zhuǎn)讓給殼牌?，F(xiàn)在，重點(diǎn)將放在進(jìn)行有關(guān)Resolution和Endeavour天然氣發(fā)現(xiàn)的評(píng)估活動(dòng)上。

    殼牌與愛敦之間的北海轉(zhuǎn)讓協(xié)議于今年1月首次達(dá)成。

    愛敦資源公司總部位于漢普郡，是一家專注于陸上油氣勘探的公司。

    Shell to begin seismic work on North Sea gas discoveries next year

    Shell will kick off seismic studies on the Resolution and Endeavour gas discoveries in the North Sea in the first quarter of next year.
  Shell will kick off seismic studies on the Resolution and Endeavour gas discoveries in the North Sea in the first quarter of next year.

    It comes as the energy giant took over operatorship of the licences from Egdon Resources, farming in with 70% interest in both.

    Under the deal, Shell will pay 85% of the costs for acquiring and processing the 3D seismic survey, which needs to completed by May 31 2021 under the terms of the licenses.

    Shell will meet these costs up to $5million, at which point Egdon will be responsible for 30% of survey.

    Shell will also pay 100% of all studies and manpower costs through to the well investment decisions.

    Egdon Resources cited a competent persons report from Schlumberger from last year which estimated the discoveries have mean contingent resources of 231 billion cubic feet of gas.

   The Shell-operated licenses lie “adjacent” to the North Yorkshire coast in the Southern North Sea, Egdon said, with Endeavour first having been discovered in 1966 by Total.

    Mark Abbott, managing director of Egdon Resources, said: “We are delighted to have completed the transfer of interest and operatorship to Shell in respect of these important, and potentially valuable, licences for Egdon. The focus will now be on progressing appraisal activity on the Resolution and Endeavour gas discoveries.

    The North Sea farm-in deal between Shell and Egdonwas first agreed in January this year.

    Egdon Resources, headquartered in Hampshire, is an onshore-focussed oil and gas exploration business.
