據油田技術7月27日消息，塔洛斯能源(Talos Energy)宣布了2021年第二季度的初步產量估算，Tornado Attic井首次成功投產，Crown 和 Anchor井鉆井成功。

　　塔洛斯能源估計，2021年第二季度的平均日產量約為6.6萬桶油當量/天，超過了公司的預期，其中69%為石油，76%為液體。本季度不包括對沖的實際價格為石油64.28美元/桶，液化天然氣22.28美元/桶以及天然氣3.05美元/百萬立方英尺。

　　繼2021年6月宣布在墨西哥灣成功鉆探Tornado Attic井后，塔洛斯實施完井作業，并于2021年7月中旬實現首次生產。該井目前的產量高于此前估計的8000-1萬桶油當量/天。該公司還提高了Tornado注入井的注入速度，目前正在以超過3萬桶/天的速度向投產中的B-6地層注入水。該項目是深水環境中首個井內注水項目，旨在通過現有的水下生產井提高整體產量和采收率。塔洛斯與科斯莫斯能源(Kosmos Energy)共同持有65%的開采權益。

　　Viosca Knoll 960區塊的Crown 和 Anchor側鉆井的真實垂直深度(TVD)約為13000英尺，在M62中中新世目標層發現了約50英尺的TVD凈油層。該項目已進入完井階段，將通過現有的海底基礎設施到Marlin張力腿平臺進行生產，這需要額外的回接成本，預計第一次生產將在21年第三季度末完成。塔洛斯與Beacon Offshore Energy(運營商)和Ridgewood Crown & Anchor LLC共同持有該項目34%的開采權益。

　　塔洛斯總裁兼首席執行官Timothy S. Duncan評論：“我們的運營團隊在今年資本計劃中最活躍的部分提供了出色的執行力，我很高興我們在前兩季度中實現了強勁的連續生產，其中不包括這兩個最新井。我們優質的資產基礎正在帶來穩健的業績，再加上大宗商品價格的支撐和資產負債表的持續改善，我們很高興能在下半年專注于眾多戰略舉措。我們期待在即將發布的收益報告中提供進一步更新。”

　　Talos Energy achieves first oil from Gulf of Mexico well

　　Talos Energy has announced preliminary production estimates for 2Q21, successful first production from the Tornado Attic well and successful drilling of the Crown and Anchor well.

　　Talos estimates that average daily production for 2Q21 was approximately 66 000 boe/d net, ahead of company expectations, and was approximately 69% oil and 76% liquids. Estimated realised prices for the quarter, exclusive of hedges, were US$64.28/bbl of oil, US$22.28/bbl of NGLs and $3.05/million ft3 of natural gas.

　　Following successful drilling of the Tornado Attic well in the Gulf of Mexico, announced in June 2021, Talos executed completion operations and achieved first production in mid-July 2021.

　　The well is currently producing above the previously estimated 8 - 10 000 boe/d range. The company also increased injection rates in the structurally downdip Tornado injector well and is now injecting at a rate of over 30 000 bpd of water into the producing B-6 formation. The project is the first intra-well water flood of its kind in a deepwater subsea environment and is intended to increase overall production and recovery efficiency through the existing subsea producing wells. Talos holds a 65% working interest (operator) along with Kosmos Energy.

　　The Crown and Anchor sidetrack well at Viosca Knoll block 960 was drilled to a true vertical depth (TVD) of approximately 13 000 ft and encountered approximately 50 ft of net TVD oil pay in the M62 Middle Miocene target horizon. The project has moved to the completion phase and will produce through existing subsea infrastructure to the Marlin tension leg platform, requiring nominal additional tie-back costs, with first production targeted by late 3Q21. Talos holds a 34% working interest in the project along with Beacon Offshore Energy (operator) and Ridgewood Crown & Anchor LLC.

　　Talos President and CEO, Timothy S. Duncan, commented: "Our operations team provided exceptional execution in what was the most active portion of our capital program for the year and I'm pleased that we've delivered strong sequential production over the past two quarters, which does not include the impact of these two latest wells. Our high-quality asset base is delivering solid results, and in combination with commodity price support and continued balance sheet improvement, we're excited to move into the second half of the year focused on numerous strategic initiatives. We look forward to providing a broader update in our upcoming earnings release."
