據鉆機地帶4月20日消息稱，埃尼公司周一透露，埃尼通過子公司埃尼哈伊馬角公司獲得了阿拉伯聯合酋長國Ras Al Khaimah陸上的7號區塊。

埃尼哈伊馬角公司將擔任該區塊的運營商，該區塊占地面積166平方英里，有90％的參與權益。Ras Al Khaimah的國家石油公司哈伊馬角天然氣公司將持有該資產的其余10％的股份。

埃尼在一份公司聲明中說，7號區塊位于一個復雜的沖斷帶地質環境中，與最近在鄰近的沙迦酋長國發現的Mahani區塊相似。該公司指出，新收購的3D地震技術將使合資企業能夠評估該地區的地質環境，并最終釋放其油氣潛力。埃尼補充稱，該酋長國現有的天然氣處理設施將允許任何發現都得到迅速發展。

今年1月，埃尼宣布Mahani油田開始生產，該油田位于阿拉伯聯合酋長國沙迦酋長國的陸上特許經營區B區。據悉，此舉是進一步評估Mahani天然氣和凝析油發現的第一步，該發現于2020年1月首次宣布。埃尼集團強調，據估計，Mahani氣田擁有“重要”的天然氣和相關凝析油資源。

根據埃尼網站的數據，在IOC于阿聯酋擁有的業務中，埃尼目前擁有的最大的勘探面積，面積超過10000平方英里，包括橫跨阿布扎比、Ras Al Khaimah和沙迦的8個陸上和淺海勘探區塊。埃尼的網站顯示，2019年，埃尼在阿聯酋生產了1800萬桶石油和凝析油，以及30億立方英尺天然氣。

Eni Awarded Onshore UAE Block

Eni S.p.A, through its subsidiary Eni RAK, has been awarded Block 7 in the onshore of Ras Al Khaimah, United Arab Emirates, the company revealed on Monday.

Eni RAK will act as the operator of the block, which covers an area of 166 square miles, with a 90 percent participating interest. Ras Al Khaimah’s National Oil Company RAK Gas will hold the remaining ten percent stake in the asset.

Block 7 represents an underexplored acreage in a complex thrust belt geological setting, similar to that of the recent discovery of Mahani in the adjacent Sharjah Emirate, Eni said in a company statement. The company noted that newly acquired 3D seismic will allow the joint venture to assess the geological setting of the area and eventually unlock its hydrocarbon potential. Eni added that the presence of existing gas processing facilities in the Emirate would allow a rapid development of any discoveries.

In January this year, Eni announced the production start up of the Mahani field, which is located in onshore Concession Area B of the Sharjah Emirate, United Arab Emirates. The move was said to be the first step in the further evaluation of the Mahani gas and condensate discovery, which was first announced back in January 2020. The Mahani find is estimated to hold “significant” resources of natural gas and associated condensate, Eni highlighted.

According to Eni’s website, the company holds the largest exploration acreage among IOCs present in the UAE, with more than 10,000 square miles comprising eight exploration blocks onshore and in shallow waters offshore across the Emirates of Abu Dhabi, Ras Al Khaimah, and Sharjah. Eni produced 18 million barrels of oil and condensate, and three billion cubic feet of gas, in the UAE in 2019, its website shows.
