据海上工程师网10月11日多哈报道，卡塔尔能源部长兼卡塔尔能源公司负责人萨阿德·卡阿比周一表示，卡塔尔能源公司希望加快开发今年早些时候与合作伙伴在纳米比亚海上获得的两个石油发现。
卡阿比表示，钻井作业预计将在2023年进行，以期更好地了解产量和产能，但没有说明这两个石油发现将在何时投产。
卡塔尔能源公司拥有Venus X1油田30%的股份，而该石油发现的运营商法国道达尔能源公司则持有40%的股份。Impact石油和天然气公司拥有20%的股份，纳米比亚国家石油公司NAMCOR拥有10%的股份。
在Graff1油田中，壳牌公司和卡塔尔能源公司各持有45%的股份，而NAMCOR拥有剩余10%的股份。
这两个石油发现可能使欧佩克成员国安哥拉的南部邻国纳米比亚成为非洲大西洋沿岸的另一个产油国。
纳米比亚矿业和能源部长今年9月表示，两家公司尚未详细说明发现的储量，但可能有数十亿桶。
卡阿比在访问南非时在温得和克对记者说：“我们正努力尽快加快这一进程，以确保我们能最终完成开发。”
“开发这些石油发现通常需要数年的时间，这不是一件可以很快完成的事情，而且这是深海开发，所以它有其复杂性。”卡阿比如是说。
纳米比亚能源部长Tom Alweendo上个月在达喀尔举行的一次石油会议上说，合作伙伴可以在4年内开始这两个油田的石油生产。

Qatar Wants to Speed Up Development of Namibia Offshore Oil Discoveries
The head of QatarEnergy, who is also Qatar's energy minister, said on Monday the company wants to speed up the development of two oil wells it discovered off the Namibian coast with joint venture partners earlier this year.
Saad al-Kaabi said drilling work is expected for 2023 to get a better understanding of deliverability and capacity but did not indicate when the two oil finds will be brought into production.
QatarEnergy has a 30% interest in the Venus X1 while the field's operator TotalEnergies TTEF.PA has 40%, Impact Oil and Gas owns 20% and Namibia's state-owned NAMCOR has 10%.
In the Graff-1 well, Shell Plc and QatarEnergy each hold a 45% stake, while NAMCOR owns the remaining 10%.
The discoveries could make Namibia, the southern neighbor of OPEC member Angola, another oil producer along the African Atlantic coast.
The companies have not yet detailed the quantities found, but the discoveries are likely in billions of barrels, Namibia's mines and energy minister said in September.
"We are trying to expedite that as fast as possible to ensure we can get the development finalized," Al-Kaabi told reporters in Windhoek during a visit to the southern African nation.
"These developments always take years to develop, it's not something that can be done very fast and this is deep offshore development, so it has its complications."
Namibia's energy minister Tom Alweendo told an oil conference in Dakar last month that the joint venture partners could start production in four years.
