據Oil & Gas Journal網站10月12日消息 在開發批準33個月后，BP開始從阿曼的Ghazeer氣田開始生產。Ghazeer氣田是61區塊開發的第2階段，最初預計將于2021年投產。

測試和完井過程中產生的油氣被送至生產設施，而不是燃燒。BP表示，自2019年采用這一方法以來，二氧化碳排放量減少了20.1萬噸，相當于一年內減少了4.4萬輛汽車。

61區塊的總產能（包括Khazzan和Ghazeer）預計將增至15億立方英尺/日，相關凝析油將超過6.5萬桶/日。第1階段開發，Khazzan于2017年9月進行。據估計，該區塊可開采天然氣資源量為10.5萬億立方英尺，可輸送阿曼天然氣總需求量的35%。

BP為61號區塊的運營商（60%），合作伙伴為Makarim天然氣開發有限公司（OQ，30%）和馬國油PC阿曼投資有限公司（10%）。

BP starts production at Oman’s Ghazeer gas field

BP began production from Oman’s Ghazeer gas field, 33 months after development approval. Ghazeer, Phase 2 of Block 61 development, was initially expected to come into production in 2021.

Hydrocarbons produced during testing and completion were routed to the production facility instead of flared. Since adopting this approach in 2019, 201,000 tonnes of CO2e emissions were saved, equivalent to removing 44,000 cars from the road for a year, BP said.

Total production capacity from Block 61, comprising both Khazzan and Ghazeer, is expected to rise to 1.5 bcfd and more than 65,000 b/d of associated condensate. Phase 1 development, Khazzan, was brought online in September 2017 (OGJ Online, Sept. 25, 2017). With an estimated 10.5 tcf of recoverable gas resources, the block has the capacity to deliver about 35% of Oman’s total gas demand.

BP is operator in Block 61 (60%) with partners Makarim Gas Development Ltd. (OQ, 30%), and Petronas’s PC Oman Ventures Ltd. (10%).
