據(jù)阿納多盧新聞9月17日消息稱，本周三，意大利能源巨頭埃尼集團(tuán)宣布與英國石油公司合作，在埃及近海的尼羅河三角洲常規(guī)水域發(fā)現(xiàn)了一處新的天然氣。

聲明說，新的天然氣發(fā)現(xiàn)位于水深16米處，距海岸5公里，位于2015年7月發(fā)現(xiàn)的Nooros油田以北4公里。

聲明說，對鉆井結(jié)果的初步評估表明，Great Nooros地區(qū)的天然氣儲量估計超過4萬億立方英尺(近1130億立方米)。

埃尼和BP將與埃及石油部門合作，篩選這一新發(fā)現(xiàn)的開發(fā)方案。

自1954年以來，埃尼就一直通過其子公司國際埃及石油生產(chǎn)公司（IEOC Production）在埃及開展業(yè)務(wù)。IEOC目前的股本產(chǎn)量約為每天30萬桶石油當(dāng)量。

Eni announces new gas discovery offshore Egypt

Italian energy giant Eni on Wednesday announced a new gas discovery in the conventional waters of the Nile Delta, offshore Egypt in collaboration with British energy company BP.

The new discovery is located in 16 meters of water depth, 5 km from the coast and 4 km north from the Nooros field, discovered in July 2015, according to the statement.

The statement said the preliminary evaluation of the well results indicates that the Great Nooros Area gas in place can be estimated in excess of 4 trillion cubic feet (nearly 113 billion cubic meters).

Eni and BP will begin screening the development options of this new discovery in coordination with Egypt's petroleum sector.

Eni has been present in Egypt since 1954, where it operates through its subsidiary, IEOC Production. The current equity production of IEOC is about 300,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
