中国石化新闻网讯 据美国钻井网站2023年1月12日报道，英国石油和天然气巨头壳牌在位于英国北海南部彭萨科拉的高影响力井发现天然气。
位于英国海上P2252许可证区块内被命名为41/05a-2的彭萨科拉勘探井由拥有65%开采权益的壳牌公司担任作业者。
壳牌公司与三角洲能源公司和ONE-Dyas公司合作，三角洲能源公司和ONE-Dyas公司分别持有30%和5%的开采权益。
这个项目的合作伙伴三角洲能源公司在一份声明中表示，作为彭萨科拉勘探井作业者的壳牌公司报告称在储集层中钻遇了天然气，并建议合作伙伴实施全面试井方案。
根据三角洲能源公司的说法，合资公司同意了作业者的建议，即进行一次全面试井，以评估彭萨科拉远景构造的商业价值，并更新地质模型。
三角洲能源公司补充说，该公司将在完成试井后发布关于彭萨科拉高影响力井的钻井更新公告，试井作业预计需要大约30天。
三角洲能源公司说，“我们很高兴在彭萨科拉勘探井钻井作业中间阶段钻遇了碳氢化合物。我们现在期待着与作业者在试井项目上进行合作，一旦试井项目完成，我们就会更新钻井作业结果。”
在之前的声明中，三角洲能源公司曾表示，该远景构造可能拥有3090亿立方英尺的天然气储量，地质成功几率为55%。三角洲能源公司认为，这将使彭萨科拉远景构造成为近年来天然气盆地中最具影响力的勘探目标之一。

Shell Finds Gas In Pensacola High-Impact Well Off UK
Oil and gas supermajor Shell has encountered gas in the Pensacola high-impact well in the Southern North Sea.
The Pensacola exploration well, otherwise designated as 41/05a-2,>Shell is partnered with Deltic Energy which holds 30 percent and>Deltic Energy, the partner in the project, said in a statement that Shell, as the operator of the Pensacola exploration well reported that gas had been encountered in the reservoir and had recommended to the joint venture partners that a full well testing program be undertaken.
According to the company, the JV endorsed the operator's recommendation to undertake a full well test to evaluate the commerciality of the Pensacola prospect and update the geological model.
Deltic added that it would provide a drilling update announcement in respect of Pensacola>In previous statements, Deltic stated that the prospect could contain gross P50 Prospective Resources of 309 billion cubic feet of gas, with a 55 percent geological chance of success. This, Deltic believes, would put Pensacola as one of the highest-impact exploration targets to be drilled in the gas basin in recent years.
