库珀计划安妮气田将于2022年启动

据2月24日OE网站报道，澳大利亚油气公司库珀能源公司可能于2022年将安妮天然气的发现投产。

库珀与三井勘探与开发公司（Mitsui E＆P）合作，于2019年9月在位于澳大利亚维多利亚近海9公里处的安妮1井发现了天然气。

该发现是利用Ocean Monarch半潜式钻机完成的，位于生产中的亨利（西15公里）和贫化的Minerva（东11公里）气田之间，水深58米处。

库珀周一宣布，已评估安妮气田的资源估计为890万桶油当量。库珀能源公司的净经济利益估计为460万桶油当量。

该公司表示，正在研究该气田的发展理念，以期在2020年结束前做出最后投资决定。预计将于2022年中期开始生产。

库珀能源公司表示，安妮发现的发展前景由于其位置靠近生产Casino、亨利和奈比气田而得到增强。这些作业的海底基础设施的邻近为新发现提供了发展选择和经济。此外，对于安妮和该地区未来的发展来说，Minerva天然气工厂是一个有吸引力的加工选择。

如先前报道，库珀原计划去年在安妮1号之后钻探Eleanora-1。然而，在VIC/L24中的Elanora-1的钻井被推迟，因为在安妮-1的位置上，附着在Ocean Monarch钻机上的系泊线上反复失去了张力。

库珀表示，将考虑在2021-2022年准备钻探Elanora-1，但须视钻机的可用性而定。

Cooper Eyeing Annie Gas Find Start-Up in 2022

Australian oil and gas company Cooper Energy might bring its Annie gas discovery>Cooper, in cooperation with Mitsui E&P, made the discovery at the Annie-1 well, located 9 kilometers offshore Victoria, Australia, in September 2019.

The discovery, made using the Ocean Monarch semi-submersible drilling rig, sits in a water depth of 58 meters, between the producing Henry (15 kilometers west) and the depleted Minerva (11 kilometers east) gas fields.

Cooper>The company has said it is investigating concepts for the development of the field, with a view to an FID decision by the conclusion of 2020. The first production could be expected production from mid-2022.

"Development prospects for the Annie discovery are enhanced by its location nearby the producing Casino, Henry and Netherby gas fields. The proximity of subsea infrastructure for these operations offers development options and economies for new discoveries. In addition, the Minerva Gas Plant is an attractive processing option for Annie and future developments in the region," Cooper Energy said.

As previously reported, Cooper had planned to drill the Eleanora-1 well after Annie-1 last year. However, drilling of the Elanora-1 in VIC/L24 was deferred following a repeated loss of tension>Drilling of Elanora-1 will be considered for a drilling campaign being prepared for 2021 – 2022, subject to rig availability, Cooper said.
