據鉆機地帶12月20日消息，通過贏得兩塊鹽下油田的股權，法國能源巨頭道達爾能源公司進一步擴大了在巴西的業務。巴西是該公司的一個“關鍵增長領域”。

道達爾能源獲得了巴西國家石油、天然氣和生物燃料局(ANP) 在轉讓權利盈余投標回合中提供的 Atapu 和 Sépia 鹽下油田的股份。

這家法國公司贏得了Atapu油田22.5%的股份，殼牌（其在該領域的合作伙伴）將持有 25% 的股份，而運營商巴國油將持有 52.5% 的股份。

Atapu 油田是桑托斯盆地的一個鹽下油田，位于水深約 6,500 英尺處。該項目始于2020年，首艘浮式、生產、儲存和卸載船(FPSO)的產量達到了16萬桶/天的穩定水平。

第二艘FPSO計劃被批準，這將使該油田的總石油產量增加到35萬桶/天。

道達爾的另一個優勢是Sépia油田，也位于桑托斯盆地。道達爾目前持有該油田28%的股份。這兩家合作伙伴除了持有30%股份的巴國油外，還有持有21%股份的卡塔爾能源和持有21%股份的馬國油。

該項目于2021年開始投產，目標是通過首個浮式、生產、儲存和卸載裝置(FPSO)實現18萬桶/天的穩定產量。第二艘FPSO計劃被批準，這將使該油田的總石油產量增加到35萬桶/天。

“隨著Atapu和Sépia的成功競標，道達爾能源進一步擴大了其在桑托斯鹽下盆地的足跡和產量，這是該公司的關鍵增長領域。這些都是獲得巨大的低成本、低排放石油儲備的獨特機會，符合道達爾能源的新戰略。”道達爾能源董事長兼首席執行官 Patrick Pouyanne 表示。

“這些資產得益于世界領先的油井產能，將成本控制在20美元/桶以下。他們還利用技術創新將溫室氣體排放限制在20公斤/桶以下。擴大我們在巴西的業務將使我們能夠加速重組我們的石油投資組合，向低成本和低排放的碳氫化合物資源轉型，這將有助于道達爾能源公司轉型為一家可持續的多能源公司。”他補充道。

Pouyanne總結道:“此外，道達爾能源公司通過其子公司Total Eren在巴西發展可再生能源，目前已經擁有300兆瓦的產能。”

通過這兩項勝利，道達爾能源在巴西的產量將從產量分成合同(PSC)計劃的生效日期(2022年4月底)開始增加，2022年的產量將從3萬桶/天增至2023年的5萬桶/天。

值得注意的是，Atapu和Sepia所在地區的可采原油儲量估計高達150億桶，而且該地區已經出產石油。巴國油正在與Sepia接壤的一個區塊進行生產，而道達爾、Galp和殼牌則在與Atapu接壤的一個區塊與這家巴西巨頭進行合作。

TotalEnergies Expands In Key Growth Area With Double Win In Brazil

TotalEnergies has further expanded its presence in Brazil, a ‘key growth area’ for the French energy major, by winning stakes in two pre-salt oil fields.

Total Energies was awarded stakes in the Atapu and Sépia pre-salt oil fields offered by Brazil’s National Agency of Petroleum, Natural Gas, and Biofuels (ANP) in the Transfer of Rights Surplus Bidding Round.

The French firm won a 22.5 percent interest in Atapu alongside Shell – its partner in the field – which will hold 25 percent, and operator Petrobras with a 52.5 percent stake.

The Atapu field is a pre-salt oil field in the Santos Basin, located in water depths of about 6,500 feet. Production started in 2020 and has reached a plateau of 160,000 barrels per day with a first floating, production, storage, and offloading vessel (FPSO).

A second FPSO is planned to be sanctioned, which would increase the overall oil production of the field to around 350,000 barrels per day.

The other win for total is the Sépia field, also located in the Santos Basin. There, TotalEnergies now holds a 28 percent interest. The two partners, apart from operator Petrobras with its 30 percent stake, are QatarEnergy with 21 percent, and Petronas with 21 percent.

Production started in 2021 and is targeting a plateau of 180,000 barrels per day with a first floating, production, storage, and offloading unit (FPSO). A second FPSO is planned to be sanctioned, which would increase the overall oil production of the field to around 350,000 barrels per day.

“With the successful bids on Atapu and Sépia, TotalEnergies further expands its footprint and production in the pre-salt Santos Basin, a key growth area for the company. These are unique opportunities to access giant low-cost and low emissions oil reserves, in line with TotalEnergies' new strategy,” said Patrick Pouyanne, Chairman and CEO of TotalEnergies.

“These assets benefit from world-leading well productivities to keep costs well below 20 $/boe. They also leverage technological innovations to limit greenhouse gas emissions to well below 20 kg/boe. Growing our presence in Brazil will enable us to accelerate the restructuring of our oil portfolio towards low-cost and low emissions hydrocarbon resources that will contribute to transforming TotalEnergies to a sustainable multi-energy company,” he added.

“Moreover, TotalEnergies, through its subsidiary Total Eren, pursues its growth in renewables in Brazil with already a capacity of 300 MW,” Pouyanne concluded.

With these two wins, TotalEnergies production in Brazil will increase from the effective date of the PSC planned by end of April 2022, with 30,000 boe/d in 2022 growing to 50,000 boe/d from 2023.

It is worth noting that Atapu and Sepia are part of an area estimated to hold as much as 15 billion barrels of recoverable crude and are located in an area that already produces oil. 

Petrobras is producing from a block bordering Sepia while Total, Galp, and Shell are partnering with the Brazilian giant in a block bordering Atapu.
