據世界石油7月29日消息，阿帕奇石油公司(APA)公司宣布鉆井成功，并更新了其蘇里南58區塊的評估計劃狀態。如前所述，評估鉆井計劃第一階段的主要目標是實現快速的黑油開發。

　　Sapakara South-1勘探井位于Sapakara地區的東部邊緣，在Campano-Maastrichtian高品質油藏的單一區域發現了約30米(98英尺)的黑色凈油層。這一結果標志著58區塊東南部的商業石油開發又邁出了重要的一步。Maersk Valiant號將很快前往Bonboni的下一個勘探區，距離北部約45公里，然后在今年晚些時候返回，對Sapakara South-1進行流量測試。

　　另一口勘探井在Kwaskwasi的Campano-Maastrichtian區塊發現了兩層薄薄的黑油層，影響了Kwaskwasi東部邊緣的一小部分。Kwaskwasi的Campano-Maastrichtian區間和Sapakara South-1發現是獨立且不相關的。

　　APA公司總裁兼首席執行官John J. Christmann IV評論道:“初步評估讓我們深受鼓舞，我們已經確認了30米深的單一塊狀砂層中充滿了黑油。這些都是58區塊加快開發的必要條件，該區塊具有較高的勘探密度。我們很高興能在Bonboni區塊的北部進行勘探，并期待繼續我們的評估項目，包括在年底前對Sapakara South-1區塊進行流動測試。”

　　APA Suriname持有58區塊50%的開采權益，運營商道達爾持有50%的開采權益。

　　APA, TotalEnergies drill successful appraisal well offshore Suriname

　　APA Corporation announced drilling success and updated the status of its appraisal program offshore Suriname in Block 58. As previously noted, the primary objective of the first phase of the appraisal drilling program is to deliver a fast-track, black oil development.

　　Sapakara South-1, an appraisal well located on the eastern edge of the Sapakara area, encountered approximately 30 meters (98 feet) of net black oil pay in a single zone of high-quality Campano-Maastrichtian reservoir. This result marks another important step toward a commercial oil development in the southeast portion of Block 58. The Maersk Valiant will soon mobilize to the next exploration prospect at Bonboni, approximately 45 kilometers to the north, before returning later in the year to flow test Sapakara South-1.

　　A second appraisal well encountered two thin intervals of black oil above water in the Campano-Maastrichtian at Kwaskwasi, impacting a small portion of the eastern edge of Kwaskwasi. The Campano-Maastrichtian intervals at Kwaskwasi and the Sapakara South-1 discovery are separate and unrelated.

　　APA Corporation President and CEO John J. Christmann IV commented, “We are very encouraged by the initial appraisal, having confirmed 30 meters of a single, blocky sand that is full to base with black oil. These are the characteristics necessary to accelerate development in this area of Block 58, which has high prospect density. We are excited to explore the northern portion of the block at Bonboni and look forward to continuing our appraisal program, including a flow test of Sapakara South-1 before year-end.”

　　APA Suriname holds a 50% working interest in Block 58, with TotalEnergies, the operator, holding a 50% working interest.
