埃尼年底前有望把加纳天然气产量提高一倍

中国石化新闻网讯 据WENews.com网站6月11日休斯顿报道，意大利能源巨头埃尼公司官员日前对路透社记者表示，埃尼公司将在下个月从其在加纳的业务中交付首批天然气，天然气日产量有望在今年年底前增至1.8亿立方英尺，这个日产量足以使加纳的天然气产量增加一倍以上。

一年前开始从每天4.5万桶储量中开始石油生产的埃尼公司将在6月26日开始从其桑科法（Sankofa）储量中开采天然气，这是埃尼公司耗资79亿美元的Cape Three Point海上项目的第二阶段。

目前，加纳从英国图洛石油公司运营的两个海上油田开采石油伴生天然气，其中包括2010年末投产的旗舰储量朱比利油田。

加纳天然气公司首席执行官本?阿桑特对路透社记者表示，他预计一旦埃尼公司的项目启动，加纳天然气每天的总产量将达到3亿至3.5亿立方英尺。

ENI on Track to Double Ghana's Gas Output

Italy's ENI is on track to deliver the first gas from its Ghana operations next month, with output rising to 180 million cubic feet per day by year end, enough to more than double national output, officials told Reuters on Friday.

ENI, which began oil production from a 45,000 barrel-per-day reserves a year ago, will start pumping natural gas on June 26 from its Sankofa reserves in a second phase of the company's $7.9 billion Offshore Cape Three Point project.

Ghana currently pumps oil-associated gas from two offshore fields operated by UK's Tullow Oil, including its flagship Jubilee reserves which came on stream in late 2010.

Ben Asante, chief executive of Ghana Gas, told Reuters he expected Ghana's total output to be between 300 million and 350 million cubic feet per day once ENI's project is on tap.
