據EnergiesNet網站1月26日基多報道，厄瓜多爾國家石油公司( Petro ecuador )首席執行官伊塔洛·塞德諾( Italo Ced eno ) 1 月 24 日表示，該公司計劃今年在其最大油田共鉆 33 口井，這是政府將該國原油產量翻番目標的一部分。

Cedeno在一份聲明中表示，該公司將在Shushufindi油田鉆12口井，在Auca油田鉆11口，在Yuralpa油田鉆10口，這些井都位于亞馬遜熱帶雨林納波盆地。

Cedeno在視察完油田后表示，優化油田是我們的責任。該公司表示，我們必須利用高油價。Auca目前的產量為74980桶/天，其次是Shushufindi(58807桶/天)和Yuralpa區塊的Coca-Payamino油田(12667桶/天)。

厄瓜多爾石油公司稱，在重啟了日輸送量36萬桶的SOTE輸油管道后，該公司的油田正在以99%的產能運行。SOTE管道在因洪水關閉三周后于去年12月30日重啟。

除非發生重大變化，分析公司預計厄瓜多爾的原油產量將從2021年的約 50.2萬桶/日增長至2030年的逾 59 萬桶/天。

據該部門稱，截至1月20日，厄瓜多爾的原油日產量為49.37萬桶。厄瓜多爾國家石油公司約占該國產量的80%。

在1月24日的聲明之前，上周有消息稱，加拿大石油公司弗朗特拉能源公司(Frontera Energy )六年來首次在厄瓜多爾發現石油。

位于卡爾加里的Frontera公司在一份聲明中表示，Jandaya-1井的鉆探深度為10975英尺，預計將于下月開始長期測試。根據 Frontera稱，與 GeoPark合資的 Perico 油氣田將在2月份迎來第二口井（ Tui - 1 ）。

Petroecuador to drill 33 oilwells at its Coca, Ayca, Shushufindi fields in 2022

State oil company Petroecuador plans to drill a total of 33 wells in its largest oilfields this year, part of the government’s goal to double the country’s crude oil production, CEO Italo Cedeno said Jan. 24

The company will drill 12 wells in the Shushufindi fields, 11 in Auca and 10 in Yuralpa, all in the Amazon jungle Napo Basin, Cedeno said in a statement.

“It’s our obligation to optimize the fields,” Cedeno said after visiting the fields. “We have to take advantage of the high oil prices.Auca is currently producing 74,980 b/d, followed by Shushufindi (58,807 b/d) and the Yuralpa block’s Coca-Payamino field (12,667 b/d), the company said.

Petroecuador’s oilfields are operating at 99% of capacity after restarting the 360,000 b/d SOTE oil pipeline, according to the company. The SOTE conduit reopened Dec. 30 after a three-week shutdown due to flooding.

Barring dramatic changes, Analytics projects Ecuador’s crude production to grow from about 502,000 b/d in 2021 to more than 590,000 b/d by 2030.

Ecuador was producing 493,700 b/d of crude through Jan. 20, according to the ministry. Petroecuador accounts for about 80% of the country’s output.

The Jan. 24 announcement followed news last week that Canadian oil company Frontera Energy made the first oil find in Ecuador in six years.

The Jandaya-1 well was drilled to a depth of 10,975 feet and is expected to start long-term testing next month, Calgary-based Frontera said in a statement. The Perico oil and gas field, a joint venture with GeoPark, will see a second well (Tui-1) drilled in February, according to Frontera.
