Izimpahla ezizoshintshwa zihlanganisa indawo yase-Andrew ephethwe yi-BP kanye nentshisekelo yayo engasebenzi ensimini yaseShearwater. Lesi sivumelwano, okulindeleke ukuthi sivalwe ngasekupheleni kwalo nyaka, siyingxenye yohlelo lwe-BP lokukhipha amaRandi ayizigidi eziyizinkulungwane eziyi-10 ekupheleni kuka-2020.
“I-BP ibilokhu ishintsha iphothifoliyo yayo yaseNorth Sea ukuze igxile ezindaweni eziyinhloko zokukhula okuhlanganisa iClair, iQuad 204 kanye nesikhungo se-ETAP,” kusho u-Ariel Flores, umongameli wesifunda se-BP saseNorth Sea. “Sinezela izinzuzo zokukhiqiza ezikhungweni zethu ngamaphrojekthi okuhlanganisa i-Alligin, iVorlich kanye neSeagull.”
I-BP isebenza ngezinkambu ezinhlanu endaweni yase-Andrews: i-Andrews (62.75%); i-Arundel (100%); i-Faragon (50%); i-Kinnaur (77%). Indawo yase-Andrew itholakala cishe ngamamayela angu-140 enyakatho-mpumalanga ye-Aberdeen futhi ihlanganisa nengqalasizinda ehlobene ne-subsea kanye nepulatifomu yase-Andrew lapho zonke izinkambu ezinhlanu zikhiqiza khona.
Uwoyela wokuqala watholakala endaweni yase-Andrews ngo-1996, kwathi ngo-2019, isilinganiso sokukhiqiza sasiphakathi kuka-25,000-30,000 BOE/D. I-BP yathi abasebenzi abangu-69 bazodluliselwa e-Premier Oil ukuze basebenze endaweni yase-Andrew.
I-BP iphinde ibe nesabelo esingu-27.5% ensimini ye-Shearwater eqhutshwa yiShell, engamakhilomitha angu-140 empumalanga ye-Aberdeen, eyakhiqiza cishe ama-boe/ngosuku angu-14,000 ngo-2019.
I-Clare Field, etholakala entshonalanga yeziQhingi zaseShetland, ithuthukiswa ngezigaba. I-BP, enamasheya angu-45% kule nsimu, ithe uwoyela wokuqala esigabeni sesibili wafezwa ngo-2018, ngomkhiqizo ohlosiwe ongama-barrel ayizigidi ezingu-640 kanye nomkhiqizo ophezulu wama-barrel angu-120,000 ngosuku.
Iphrojekthi ye-Quad 204, nayo entshonalanga yeShetland, ihilela ukuthuthukiswa kabusha kwezimpahla ezimbili ezikhona - amasimu e-Schiehallion kanye ne-Loyal. I-Quad 204 ikhiqizwa yiyunithi entantayo, yokukhiqiza, yokugcina kanye nokukhipha impahla ehilela ukushintshwa kwezindawo zangaphansi kolwandle kanye nemithombo emisha. Insimu ethuthukiswe kabusha yathola uwoyela wayo wokuqala ngo-2017.
Ngaphezu kwalokho, i-BP iqedela uhlelo olukhulu lokufaka i-subsea tie-back, oluqeda isidingo sokwakha amapulatifomu amasha okukhiqiza ukuthuthukisa amanye ama-reservoirs angaphansi:
I-Journal of Petroleum Technology ingumagazini ohamba phambili we-Society of Petroleum Engineers, enikeza izincazelo ezicacile nezici mayelana nentuthuko kwezobuchwepheshe bokuhlola nokukhiqiza, izindaba zemboni kawoyela negesi, kanye nezindaba mayelana ne-SPE namalungu ayo.
