中国石化新闻网讯 据《能源年》4月26日墨西哥城报道，德国油气运营商Wintershall Dea周二宣布，该公司在墨西哥30号区块的Kan浅水勘探区获得了一处重大石油发现。

该发现由Borr Ran钻机钻探至3320米深处，在上中新世储层中发现了超过170米的净产砂岩和优质石油。

根据初步估计，该发现的储量预计在2亿至3亿桶油当量之间。

Kan的发现位于距离塔巴斯科州海岸仅25公里的Sureste盆地，水深约50米。其位于Wintershall Dea持有股份的其他发现区内，包括29号区块的Polok和Chinwol勘探区。

Wintershall Dea首席技术官兼负责全球勘探的执行董事会成员Hugo Dijkgraaf表示，Kan的成功发现证实了30号区块的吸引力，补充了Wintershall Dea出色的墨西哥许可资产组合。这是扩大其在墨西哥业务的重要一步，并有助于在Sureste盆地浅水区开发一个潜在的新枢纽中心。

开发该油田的评估计划预计将于2023年7月底提交给墨西哥国家碳氢化合物委员会。

Wintershall Dea以40%的股份运营30号区块，能源公司海港能源公司（Harbour energy）和Sapura OMV各持有30%的股份。

Wintershall Dea hits major oil find offshore Mexico

Wintershall Dea has made a major oil discovery at the shallow-water Kan prospect on Block 30 in Mexico, the German oil and gas operator announced on Tuesday.

The find was drilled by the Borr Ran rig to depths of 3,320 metres and found more than 170 metres of net pay sandstone and high-quality oil in Upper Miocene reservoirs.

The find is expected to hold between 200 million and 300 million boe in place according to preliminary estimates.

The Kan find is located in water depths of around 50 metres on the Sureste Basin just 25 kilometres off the coast of the state of Tabasco. It is within the zone of other discoveries that Wintershall Dea holds stake in, including the Polok and Chinwol prospects on Block 29.

“The successful Kan discovery confirms the attractiveness of Block 30, complementing Wintershall Dea’s outstanding Mexican licence portfolio,” said Hugo Dijkgraaf, Wintershall Dea’s chief technology officer and executive board member responsible for global exploration.

“It is a significant step to extending our footprint in Mexico and contributing to the development of a potential new hub in the shallow waters of the Sureste Basin.”

An appraisal plan to develop the field is expected to be sent to Mexico’s National Hydrocarbons Commission by the end of July 2023.

Wintershall Dea operates Block 30 with a 40% stake alongside energy players Harbour Energy and Sapura OMV with 30% stakes each.
