原标题：科威特获得3个重要石油和天然气发现

    中国石化新闻网讯 据天然气新闻2020年1月5日迪拜报道，科威特国家通讯社1月4日援引本国石油部长穆罕默德·法尔斯的话报道说，科威特日前获得了3个重要石油和天然气发现，其中一个发现位于本国最大的巨型油田布尔甘油田附近，这可能有助于增加欧佩克第4大产油国的油气储量。

    法尔斯表示，国有科威特石油公司（KOC）日前在本国西北部发现了Homah油田，油田延伸70平方公里，轻质油流量为1452桶/天。他补充说，这一发现意义重大，因为它揭示了科威特西部和西北部未被发现地区的潜力。

    KOC获得的第2个发现是位于科威特北部的al-Qashaniyah油田，靠近Rawdatain和al-Sabriya油田，日产量为1819桶轻质油，API为49，伴生气为278万立方英尺/天。

    KOC在2020年在布尔甘大油田北部还发现了常规石油，所钻的几口井日产2000桶石油。

    这位部长表示，KOC计划加强在这些发现地区的钻井活动，以提高产量和储量。

    科威特11月份的石油产量为230万桶/天，略高于欧佩克+配额规定的229.7万桶/天。

    根据英国石油公司的《2020年世界能源统计评论》，截至2019年底，科威特已探明石油储量1015亿桶，与2018年相比没有变化，占世界总储量的5.9%。

    Kuwait makes three oil and gas discoveries, including find next to giant Burgan

    Kuwait has made three oil and gas discoveries, including one next to the giant Burgan field, the country's biggest, potentially helping to boost the reserves of OPEC's fourth largest producer, state-owned KUNA news agency reported Jan. 4, citing the oil minister.

    State-owned Kuwait Oil Co. discovered the Homah oil field, located in the northwest and stretching over 70 sq km, with a flow rate of 1,452 b/d of light oil, Mohammed al-Fares said. The discovery is significant because it sheds light on undiscovered areas in western and northwestern parts of Kuwait, he added.

    The second discovery in al-Qashaniyah field, located in northern Kuwait and close to Rawdatain and al-Sabriya fields, produced 1,819 b/d of light oil with 49 API and 2.78 MMcf/d of associated gas.

    Conventional oil was also discovered north of Burgan at a rate of 2,000 b/d from several wells drilled in 2020.

    KOC plans to intensify its drilling activities in the discoveries to boost production, the minister said.

    Kuwait produced 2.3 million b/d in November, slightly above is 2.297 million b/d OPEC+ quota.

    Kuwait had 101.5 billion barrels in proven oil reserves at the end of 2019, unchanged from 2018 and accounting for 5.9% of the world's total, according to BP's 2020 Statistical Review of World Energy.
