中国石化新闻网讯 据《能源之年》1月4日休斯敦报道，独立勘探开发公司塔洛斯能源（Talos Energy）周二宣布，该公司在美国墨西哥湾的Lime Rock和Venice勘探区发现了商业价值的石油和天然气。
在2022年第四季度的钻井活动中，该公司在Lime Rock和Venice勘探区分别发现了23.8米和22米的净碳氢化合物储层。
据估计，这两个勘探区的总可采资源量在2000万至3000万桶油当量之间，平均40%为石油，60%为液体。
钻探作业将于2023年完成，计划于2024年第一季度首次生产。
预计这两个勘探区日产量为1.5万至2万桶油当量，并将与该公司现有的100%拥有的Ram Powell平台相连接。
塔洛斯能源拥有这两个勘探区60%的股份。
塔洛斯能源总裁兼首席执行官Timothy S.Duncan表示，这展示我们成功利用现有基础设施的能力，也强化了我们即将收购EnVen Energy Corporation的战略优势，这将通过增加六个主要设施，使我们的深水基础设施覆盖面积扩大一倍。
该公司签署了将于2023年9月收购EnVen能源公司的协议。
