2019年沙赫德尼兹气田产量将达190亿立方米

据11月18日AzerNews报道，阿塞拜疆国家石油公司(SOCAR)负责油田开发的副总裁亚沙尔拉蒂福夫（Yashar Latifov）表示，该公司预计2019年将从沙赫德尼兹（Shah Deniz）气田获得190亿立方米天然气，2021年将增至240亿立方米。而根据此前预测，该气田今年的天然气产量为173.9亿立方米。

拉蒂福夫在接受采访时表示：“目前，由于沙赫德尼兹气田第二阶段的开发取得进展，SOCAR计划大幅增加阿塞拜疆天然气的产量。我们预计该气田今年的天然气产量将达到190亿立方米，明年我们将把产量提高到220亿立方米，到2021年将达到240亿立方米。”

拉蒂福夫补充道,2018年, 阿塞拜疆生产了300多亿立方米的天然气,其中65亿立方米由SOCAR生产,剩余的是从沙赫德尼兹和Azeri-Chirag block –Guneshli区块生产的伴生气。

BP阿塞拜疆公司称，在2019年1月至9月期间，沙赫德尼兹气田生产了124亿立方米天然气和260万吨凝析油。目前，该气田现有的生产系统产能大约是每年200亿立方米，即5600万立方米/天。2018年，BP在该气田生产了115亿立方米天然气和250万吨凝析油。

沙赫德尼兹气田仍然是继阿拉斯加普拉德霍湾油气田之后BP发现的最大气田。SOFAZ(阿塞拜疆石油基金)迄今已从该气田的开发中赚得25亿美元。

SOCAR gas production to reach 19 billion cubic meters in 2019

State Oil Company of Azerbaijan (SOCAR) expects 19 billion cubic meters of gas from the Shah Deniz field in 2019, while production will increase to 24 billion cubic meters in 2021, SOCAR’s Vice President for field development Yashar Latifov has said.

“Currently, SOCAR seeks to significantly increase the production of Azerbaijani gas, primarily due to the progress in Stage 2 of the Shah Deniz field development. This year we expect 19 billion cubic meters of gas from this field, next year we will increase production to 22 billion cubic meters and up to 24 billion cubic meters in 2021,” said Latifov in an interview with Petroleum-Economist.

The government previously forecasted production from the Shah Deniz field in the amount of 17.39 billion cubic meters of gas for current year.

Latifov recalled that in 2018, more than 30 billion cubic meters of gas were produced in Azerbaijan, of which 6.5 billion cubic meters was SOCAR’s own production, the rest was natural gas from the Shah Deniz field and associated gas from the Azeri-Chirag block -Guneshli.

BP Azerbaijan says, in January-September 2019, as many as 12.4 billion cubic meters of gas and 2.6 million tons of condensate were produced from the Shah Deniz field. Currently, the capacity of the existing production system at the Shah Deniz field is about 20 billion cubic meters of gas per year or 56 million cubic meters of gas per day.

In 2018, BP Azerbaijan produced 11.5 billion cubic meters of gas and 2.5 million tons of condensate from the above mentioned field.

The Shah Deniz gas field remains the biggest discovery of BP after the Prudhoe Bay oilfield in Alaska. SOFAZ (Azerbaijani Oil Fund) has so far earned $2.5 billion from the development of Shah Deniz.
