中国石化新闻网讯 据今日油价10月26日报道，纳米比亚石油专员Maggy Shino周三告诉彭博社，如果最近发现的海上石油足够多，可以进行商业开发，纳米比亚可能会考虑加入欧佩克，因为有了最新发现的石油巨头道达尔能源正在为评估钻井做准备。
2月，道达尔能源公司在纳米比亚南部近海的金星勘探区发现了轻质油和伴生气。道达尔能源勘探高级副总裁Kevin McLachlan当时表示，在Orange盆地的初步结果“非常有希望”。
道达尔能源公司在上个月的一次投资者介绍会上表示，纳米比亚的金星勘探区可能是一个“巨大的石油和天然气发现”。评估和测试定于2023年进行。
壳牌今年4月表示，今年早些时候在纳米比亚近海Orange盆地完成的graff1号深水探井的早期结果令公司感到“非常鼓舞”。
壳牌纳米比亚区域总裁Dennis Zekveld表示：“在未来的几个月里，我们需要对油井结果进行进一步的评估，并开展更多的勘探活动，以确定已发现的碳氢化合物的规模和可采潜力。”
今年4月，壳牌在Orange盆地也有了第二个发现。
伍德麦肯兹的分析师今年早些时候表示，壳牌的格拉夫油田和道达尔能源的金星油田发现可能会对纳米比亚产生重大影响。
“撒哈拉以南非洲地区的上游产业出现了一个新成员。经过连续两个大型海上发现，纳米比亚目前是该地区最热门的区块。”
但是纳米比亚，以及壳牌和道达尔能源公司，将不得不等到明年评估和测试项目完成，才能知道早期有希望的结果是否真的意味着发现的石油储量是巨大的。

Namibia Could Join OPEC If Recent Oil Discoveries Fulfill Potential
Namibia could consider joining OPEC if recent offshore oil discoveries prove to be large enough for commercial development, Namibian petroleum commissioner Maggy Shino told Bloomberg>TotalEnergies made in February a significant discovery of light oil with associated gas>Venus in Namibia could be a “giant oil and gas discovery,” TotalEnergies said in an investor presentation last month. Appraisal and testing are slated for 2023.
Shell said in April that it was “very encouraged” by the early results from the deepwater Graff-1 exploration well in the same Orange Basin offshore Namibia, completed earlier this year.
“Over the coming months, we’ll need to conduct further evaluation of the well results, and additional exploration activity, in order to determine the size and recoverable potential of the hydrocarbons that were identified,” said Dennis Zekveld, Shell’s Country Chair in Namibia.
Shell also made a second discovery in the Orange basin in April.
Shell’s Graff and TotalEnergies’ Venus discoveries could be transformational for Namibia, analysts at Wood Mackenzie said earlier this year.
“There’s a new kid>But Namibia, as well as Shell and TotalEnergies, will have to wait until the appraisal and testing programs are completed next year to see if the early promising results really meant that the oil discoveries are giant.
