據歐洲石油3月23日消息，SOCAR公司和挪威國油已經證實，在里海阿塞拜疆地區巴庫以東120公里處卡拉巴油田有石油發現。

卡拉巴油田首口評價井于2019年12月23日開始鉆探。這口井由SOCAR里海鉆井公司運營的Dada Gorgud半潛式鉆井平臺在水深180米的地方進行鉆探。對卡拉巴油田的商業開發而言，已發現油氣儲量的估計規模是令人滿意的。

SOCAR總裁Rovnag Abdullayev表示：“卡拉巴油田是新時期發現的第一個油田，其石油儲量估計超過6000萬噸。評估能夠安全、及時、順利地交付給目標，是SOCAR與挪威國油有效合作的結果。卡拉巴油田的開發將大大增加阿塞拜疆的石油收入。”

SOCAR, Equinor confirm discovery of Karabagh Oil Field in Azerbaijan

SOCAR and Norway’s Equinor have confirmed a discovery of Karabagh field located 120 kilometers offshore, east of Baku, in the Azerbaijan sector of the Caspian Sea.

Drilling of the first appraisal well at Karabagh oil field was started on December 23, 2019. The well was drilled in water depth of 180 meters by the Dada Gorgud semi-submersible drilling rig operated by SOCAR’s Caspian Drilling Company (CDC). Estimated size of the discovered volumes of oil and gas are satisfactory for pursuing commercial development of the Karabagh field.

SOCAR’s President, Rovnag Abdullayev said: “Karabagh is the first oil field discovered during the independence period of our country and its oil reserves estimated more than 60 million tons. The successful delivery of the appraisal well to the target safely and on time is the result of effective collaboration of SOCAR and Equinor. Development of the Karabagh field will significantly contribute to Azerbaijan’s oil incomes.”
