據海上工程師網2022年8月15日報道，哥倫比亞國家石油公司（Ecopetrol）宣布，國際石油巨頭殼牌公司日前在部署在哥倫比亞加勒比海南部的最深海上井Gorgon-2井獲得重要天然氣發現。

Gorgon-2井位于距離阿倫比亞海岸70公里處的海域，鉆井水深大約2400米，是哥倫比亞海域鉆得最深的井。  

發現井位于Col-5區塊，此井證實了2017年在Gorgon-1井發現的天然氣儲量延伸。殼牌公司此前在Col-5區塊內的Kronos井（2015）和紫色天使井（2017）也先后發現了天然氣。 

Ecopetrol和擔任作業者的殼牌公司是這個南加勒比海區塊的合作伙伴，各持有50%的參與股份。  

Ecopetrol表示：“這個重要天然氣發現將極大地有助于支持國家的能源安全，并開啟哥倫比亞未來天然氣出口的可能性，這是Ecopetrol一直在發展能源轉型的基本來源。”

Shell Makes Gas Discovery at Colombia's Deepest Offshore Well

Oil major Shell has made a gas discovery in ultra-deep waters in the southern Colombian Caribbean, its partner, Colombia-based oil company Ecopetrol, said.

The Gorgon-2 well is located 70 kilometers off the coast and was drilled at a water depth of around 2,400 meters, making it the deepest well drilled in Colombian waters.

"The drilling of the well, located in the Col-5 block, confirms the extension of the gas discovery made in 2017 in Gorgon-1. The Kronos (2015) and Purple Angel (2017) discoveries were also made in this gas province," Ecopetrol said.

Ecopetrol and Shell (operator) are partners in the South Caribbean blocks (Col-5, Fuerte Sur, and Purple Angel), with 50% participation each.

"The development of this gas province in the southern Caribbean could significantly contribute to supporting the country's energy security and opens the possibility of future gas exports, a fundamental energy source for the energy transition that Ecopetrol has been developing," Ecopetrol said.
