ADNOC创造世界最长油气井钻井新纪录

据海上工程师网2022年10月20日报道，阿布扎比国家石油公司(ADNOC)10月20日表示，ADNOC近日在其上扎库姆海上租借区内创造了世界最长油气井钻井新纪录。

这口长5万英尺(15240米)的油气井比2017年创下的世界纪录还要长大约800英尺(243.84米)，此井支持了ADNOC扩大低碳油气资源产能的努力，从而帮助满足世界不断增长的能源需求。ADNOC旗下的钻井公司从ADNOC海上公司的一个人工岛上钻完了这口油气井。  

ADNOC说：“这一非凡的钻井工程壮举是由ADNOC海上公司与上扎库姆战略国际合作伙伴美国埃克森美孚和日本INPEX/JODCO合作设计和领导的大位移延伸井项目的一部分。这口大位移延伸井将开发巨大的上扎库姆油田的未开发部分，有可能将上扎库姆油田的原油日产能提高1.5万桶，而不需要扩建或建设任何新的基础设施。”

ADNOC钻井公司首席执行官Abdulrahman Abdullah Al Seiari表示：“这一令人难以置信的成就符合ADNOC钻井公司的追求，即为客户提供更高的效率，同时继续为股东创造更大的价值。这口破纪录的深井的交付也表明了我们降低运营成本的承诺，同时使ADNOC能够实现其油气产能目标。”

“这一历史性的里程碑应归功于我们员工的辛勤工作和奉献，他们共同展示了作为负责任的作业者如何成功地最大化利用先进的大位移、水平和定向钻井方法。”

Umm Al Anbar人工岛是上扎库姆油田4个人工岛之一，是海上钻井和作业的中心。 

ADNOC海上公司首席执行官Ahmad Saqer Al Suwaidi表示：“ADNOC对人工岛的开拓性和创新性使用，加上其世界领先的钻井专业知识，使我们能够推动增长，最大化价值，并将我们的业务对环境的影响降到最低。我们将与我们的国际战略合作伙伴一起，继续推动工程的边界，为阿联酋、我们的合作伙伴和世界各地的客户带来利益。”

ADNOC Says Breaks World Record for Longest Oil and Gas Well Drilled

Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) said Thursday it had set a new world record for the longest oil and gas well, at its Upper Zakum offshore concession.

"Stretching 50,000 feet [15240 meters], the well is around 800 feet [243.84 meters] longer than the previous world record set in 2017 and supports ADNOC’s efforts to expand production capacity of its lower carbon oil and gas resources to help meet the world’s growing demand for energy. ADNOC Drilling drilled the oil and gas well from Umm Al Anbar, one of ADNOC Offshore’s artificial islands," ADNOC said.

"This extraordinary feat of engineering is part of an extended reach well project designed and led by ADNOC Offshore, in collaboration with its Upper Zakum strategic international partners, ExxonMobil and INPEX/JODCO. The extended reach wells will tap into an undeveloped part of the giant Upper Zakum reservoir with the potential to increase the field’s production capacity by 15,000 barrels of oil per day, without the need to expand or build any new infrastructure," ADNOC added.

Abdulrahman Abdullah Al Seiari, ADNOC Drilling CEO, said: “This incredible achievement is in line with ADNOC Drilling’s quest to deliver increased efficiency for our customers as we continue to create greater value for our shareholders. The delivery of this record-breaking well also demonstrates our commitment to lower operational costs, while enabling ADNOC to reach its oil and gas production capacity targets.

“This historic milestone is a credit to the hard work and dedication of our staff who have collectively demonstrated how, as a responsible operator, we are successfully maximizing the use of advanced extended reach, horizontal and directional drilling methods.”

Umm Al Anbar is one of Upper Zakum’s four artificial islands, serving as a hub for offshore drilling and operations.

Ahmad Saqer Al Suwaidi, ADNOC Offshore CEO, said: “ADNOC’s pioneering and innovative use of artificial islands, coupled with its world leading drilling expertise, is enabling us to drive growth, maximize value and minimize the environmental footprint of our operations. Working with our strategic international partners, we will continue to push the boundaries of engineering for the benefit of the UAE, our partners, and customers around the world.”
