據(jù)離岸工程5月16日報道，日本石油勘探公司(Japex)計劃通過其子公司Japex(美國)(JUS)投資約5億美元開發(fā)美國南部的致密油權(quán)益。

計劃從2022年到2024年，投資將用于已收購的致密油資產(chǎn)，以及2022年晚些時候?qū)⑹召彽闹旅苡唾Y產(chǎn)。

該公司表示，致密油資產(chǎn)的生產(chǎn)計劃從今年年中開始。

2012年，JUS通過收購得克薩斯州南部麥考恩中部鷹福特地層的開發(fā)股份，進(jìn)入美國致密油開發(fā)業(yè)務(wù)。

除了投資于所收購權(quán)益的開發(fā)項(xiàng)目外，該公司還于2013年收購了同一地層的額外權(quán)益。

JAPEX在一份新聞聲明中表示，在此期間，JAPEX積累了致密油開發(fā)業(yè)務(wù)的知識。

今年早些時候，JUS收購了鷹福特致密油開發(fā)項(xiàng)目的部分井筒權(quán)益。

該公司還敲定了一項(xiàng)收購鷹福特地層和Woodford地層開發(fā)額外井筒權(quán)益的交易。

根據(jù)2022年3月制定的“Japex管理計劃2022-2030”，Japex打算投資收購新的海外油氣權(quán)益。

作為該戰(zhàn)略的一部分，北美頁巖（致密）地層開發(fā)是該公司獲得勘探開發(fā)領(lǐng)域新地位的關(guān)鍵重點(diǎn)領(lǐng)域。

2020年，JAPEX開始從日本北海道Yufutsu油田的Takinoue組開采重質(zhì)原油。

Japex plans to invest $500m in tight oil assets in southern US

Japan Petroleum Exploration (Japex), through its subsidiary Japex (U.S.) (JUS), plans to invest approximately $500m to develop tight oil interests in the southern US.

Planned over a three-year period from 2022 to 2024, the investments will be made in the tight oil assets that have already been acquired, and those to be acquired later in 2022.

Production from the tight oil assets is planned to start from the middle of this year, the firm said.

In 2012, JUS entered the US tight oil development business through the acquisition of development stakes in the Eagle Ford formation in Middle McCowen, southern Texas.

The company also purchased additional interests in the same formation in 2013, in addition to investing in the developments in the acquired interests.

In a press statement, JAPEX said: “During this time period, Japex has accumulated the knowledge of the tight oil development business.”

Earlier this year, JUS purchased certain wellbore interests in tight oil development projects in the Eagle Ford formation.

The firm also finalised a deal to acquire additional wellbore interests in the development of the Eagle Ford formation and the Woodford formation, in southern Oklahoma.

Under the “Japex Management Plan 2022-2030”, formulated in March 2022, Japex intends to invest in the acquisition of new overseas oil and gas interests.

As part of the strategy, the North American shale (tight) formation development is the firm’s key focus area to acquire new positions.

In 2020, Japex started heavy crude oil production from the Takinoue Formation of the Yufutsu field in the Hokkaido island, in Japan.
