據離岸工程網站7月26日消息 澳大利亞桑托斯石油天然氣公司已開始從Van Gogh-2期填充式開發項目開始生產，新井實現創紀錄產量。

　　桑托斯已于2020年3月宣布了Van Gogh-2期填充式開發項目的最終投資決定（FID），該項目涉及鉆探和完成三口新的水平、雙側向生產井，并將海底回接至現有基礎設施。

　　桑托斯在周一宣布了第一批石油，三口新油井中的第一口正在以油田歷史上單井的最高初始產量生產。Van Gogh的生產始于2010年，附近的Coniston油田和Novara油田分別于2015年和2016年與FPSO相連。

　　桑托斯表示：“第一口井在完井和對接后，最高產量達到了23200桶/日，遠遠超過了單井的預期。”

　　目前正在進行第二口水平、雙側向生產井的鉆探。

　　Van Gogh油田（WA-35-L）是位于Exmouth盆地的三個海底油田開發項目之一，與Ningaloo Vision FPSO相連。

　　Santos' New Well at Van Gogh Offshore Oil Field Hits Output Record

　　Australian oil and gas company Santos has started oil production from the Van Gogh Phase 2 Infill Development, offshore W. Australia, hitting a production record.

　　Santos had announced a Final Investment Decision (FID) on the Van Gogh Infill Development Phase 2 Project in March 2020, with the project involving the drilling and completing of three new horizontal, dual-lateral production wells and subsea tieback into existing infrastructure.

　　Announcing the first oil on Monday, Santos said that the first of three new production wells was producing at the highest initial rate from an individual well in field history. Production from Van Gogh began in 2010, with the nearby Coniston and Novara fields tied back to the FPSO in 2015 and 2016, respectively.

　　"Following completion and tie-in, the first well has produced at a peak rate of 23,200 barrels per day (bbl/d), well ahead of expectations for a single well," Santos said.

　　The drilling of the second horizontal, dual-lateral production well now underway.

　　The Van Gogh field (WA-35-L) is one of three subsea oil field developments located in the Exmouth Basin which tie into the Ningaloo Vision FPSO.
