    中国石化新闻网讯 据钻机地带3月23日消息称，海滩能源有限公司宣布在维多利亚Otway盆地附近的VIC/P43许可证的Artisan 1处发现天然气。

    海滩能源公司指出，作为未来的生产商，该井目前正在进行套管封井，并有机会连接到海上管道，目前将天然气从海上的Thylacine和Geographe油田输送到Otway天然气厂。

    海滩能源公司董事总经理兼首席执行官Matt Kay在一份公司声明中表示：“我们的Otway勘探活动取得了两次成功，对于海滩能源公司来说是一个好消息。”

    他补充说：“尽管Artisan的发现处于钻前预期的低端，但它将成为未来的生产商。钻探工作已经按计划进行，我想对在Ocean Onyx上工作的团队表示赞扬，他们成功地开启了钻探活动。”

    海滩能源公司持有Artisan 1资产60％的经营权益，OG Energy持有其余40％的股份。Artisan 1是由Diamond Offshore Ocean Onyx钻机钻探的，该钻机将在套管作业后移至Geographe油田，并开始钻探两口油田开发井中的第一口井，然后再移至Thylacine井中再进行勘探另外四口油井。

    Beach Makes Gas Discovery

    Beach Energy Limited has announced a gas discovery at the Artisan 1 location in license VIC/P43 offshore the Victorian Otway Basin.

    The well is now being cased and suspended as a future producer with an opportunity to tie into the offshore pipeline, currently delivering gas from the offshore Thylacine and Geographe fields to the Otway Gas Plant, Beach Energy noted.

    “Beginning our Otway campaign with two exploration successes is a good result for Beach,” Beach Energy Managing Director and Chief Executive Officer, Matt Kay, said in a company statement, referencing the success of the Enterprise well in November 2020.

    “While the Artisan discovery is at the lower end of pre-drill expectations, it is being cased as a future producer. Drilling operations have gone to plan and I want to commend the teams working on the Ocean Onyx for the successful start to the campaign,” he added.

    Beach Energy holds a 60 percent operated interest in the Artisan 1 asset, with O.G. Energy holding the remaining 40 percent stake. Artisan 1 was spudded by the Diamond Offshore Ocean Onyx rig, which will move to the Geographe field after casing operations and commence the first of two in-field development wells before moving to the Thylacine field for an additional four in-field wells.
