據今日油價5月5日報道，必和必拓及其合作伙伴特立尼達和多巴哥國家天然氣公司(NGC)已經從位于特立尼達和多巴哥近海的價值5億美元的Ruby項目中獲得了首批石油。必和必拓在該油氣項目中的投資份額為2.83億美元。
這一里程碑進程提前完成，距離必和必拓于2019年8月批準該海上油氣項目不到兩年時間。
Ruby項目位于Greater Angostura油田3(a)區塊的淺水區，距離特立尼達東北海岸近45公里。該項目通過5口生產井和1口注氣井從Ruby和Delaware儲層開采石油和天然氣，并將其與已建成的處理設施連接起來。
必和必拓表示，Ruby油田的鉆井和完井工作正在進行中。后續計劃于2021年第二季度和第三季度投產。該海上油氣項目預計將于今年第三季度完成。
根據2020年初宣布的一份合同，麥克德莫特國際公司（McDermott International）負責為該項目提供水下臍帶管、立管和出油管線(SURF)，完成運輸以及安裝。
該項目完成后，預計每天可生產16000桶原油和8000萬桶天然氣。據估計，該海上油田的可采石油儲量為1320萬桶，天然氣為2740億立方英尺。
必和必拓石油總裁杰拉爾丁?斯萊特利(Geraldine Slattery)表示:“Ruby項目的啟動代表著必和必拓在特立尼達和多巴哥石油和天然氣生產設施的持續發展，增強了資源的質量及其投資競爭力。
他補充道：“2018年，BHP和Block 3(a)合作伙伴獲得了Ocean Bottom Node (OBN)地震勘測數據，用于優化Ruby Project開發井的位置。這對我們的石油業務以及我們在特立尼達和多巴哥的未來來說是一個重要的里程碑。”
必和必拓是Ruby開發項目的運營商，持有68.46%的股份，而NGC持有剩余的31.54%的股份。

BHP draws first oil from $500m Ruby Project, offshore Trinidad
BHP and its partner The National Gas Company of Trinidad and Tobago (NGC) have achieved production of first oil from the $500m Ruby Project, located offshore Trinidad and Tobago.
The milestone comes ahead of schedule, less than two years after BHP had sanctioned the offshore oil and gas project in August 2019. The company’s investment share in the oil and gas project is $283m.
The Ruby Project is located in the shallow water in Block 3(a) within the Greater Angostura Field. The offshore development is nearly 45km off the north-eastern coast of Trinidad.
It involves oil and gas production from the Ruby and Delaware reservoirs through five production wells and a gas injector well, which are tied back into already established operated processing facilities.
BHP said that drilling and completion works at the Ruby field are in progress. Subsequent wells are slated to be brought into production in Q2 and Q3 2021.
The offshore oil and gas project is anticipated to be completed in the third quarter of this year.
Under a contract announced in early 2020, McDermott International has been responsible for providing subsea umbilicals, risers, and flowlines (SURF), transportation, and installation for the project.
Following its completion, the Ruby Project is estimated to produce up to 16,000 gross barrels of oil per day and 80 million gross standard cubic feet of natural gas per day.
The offshore field has 13.2 million barrels of oil and 274 billion cubic feet of natural gas in estimated recoverable 2C Resources.
BHP petroleum president Geraldine Slattery said: “The start-up of Ruby represents continued development of BHP’s oil and gas production facilities in Trinidad and Tobago, re-enforces the quality of the resource and its investment competitiveness.
“An Ocean Bottom Node (OBN) seismic survey acquired by BHP and the Block 3(a) partners in 2018, was utilised to illuminate and optimally position the Ruby Project development wells. This marks a significant milestone for our Petroleum business and our future in Trinidad and Tobago.”
BHP is the operator of the Ruby development with a stake of 68.46%, while NGC holds the remaining stake of 31.54%.
