据油田技术1月29日消息称，海王星能源公司及其合资伙伴BP和JAPEX已宣布，在英国北海中部的Seagull项目已开始钻探。
由瓦拉里斯（Valaris）运营的Gorilla VI（JU-248）自升式钻机平台将在整个钻井过程中钻4口井，预计将持续18个月。
海王星能源公司英国公司董事总经理亚历山德拉·托马斯（Alexandra Thomas）表示：“到2020年末，我们成功完成了Seagull项目的海底建设第一阶段，这巩固了了海王星在英国大陆架上的进一步增长。
“由于海王星能源公司、我们的合作伙伴BP和JAPEX与主要承包商之间的合作，我们的项目进展顺利，并达到了另一个重要的里程碑。
“Seagull预计日产量为5万桶油当量(总产量)，将为英国MER和能源安全做出重大贡献，并支持当地供应链。”
Seagull是一个高压、高温(HPHT)开发项目，位于英国P1622许可证22/29C区块，位于BP运营的ETAP中央处理设施(CPF)以南17公里处。经证实的总储量加上可能的总储量估计为5000万桶油当量。
该项目将与ETAP CPF相结合，部分利用现有的海底基础设施。
海王星是Seagull项目的运营商，拥有35％的股权。它的合资伙伴是BP和JAPEX，分别持股50%和15%。
