基本理念
本公司認為,澳洲中部的油氣潛能被嚴重忽視,在澳洲已被證實的石油省份中,這一直真正是一個勘探較少、開發不足的地區。至今,澳洲中部的Mereenie和Palm Valley開採地已產出超過約2千萬桶原油和5千億立方英呎天然氣,現有已知的資源嚴重開發不足。據北領地地質勘測局估計,僅在Amadeus就有相當於60億桶原油(35萬億立方英呎天然氣)的可開採烃類(樂觀估計絕對儲量,考慮地質條件等各方面因素後的儲量相當於6.5億桶原油),而本公司認為已經成熟可以開採的Johnstone原油勘探區儲量可能高達3億桶原油(最初存在、未經發現的原油)。
由Mulready Consultants和Holt Campbell and Payton公司的諮詢工程師最近進行的一項煤床沼氣和氣轉液可行性前期研究詳細列出了儲量為34萬億立方英呎(90%可能性)到70萬億立方英呎(10%可能性)的各處潛在的可開發煤床沼氣資源,根據這項調查,這些資源有潛力為位於Alice Springs、每天產量為14萬桶的氣轉液工廠在70多年裡提供原料生產超清潔柴油、航空燃油和輕油。此類工廠盈虧相抵的普遍油價大約為每桶30美元。採用傳統儲層天然氣的較小的中型工廠也在考慮之中。
隨著對目前由Traditional Oil Pty Ltd運營的勘探許可證EPA 104、105和106的收購,公司最近還獲得了Pedirka盆地裡大量的煤層資源。這一套收購將為公司新帶來約8,000平方公里的煤層以及傳統儲層油、氣、凝析油和氦氣的巨大勘探潛力。
公司最近公佈了在Pedirka盆地石油產區1,000米以上深度超過一萬億噸的可行煤炭『勘探目標』,並對該石油產區的絕大多數地區提出了礦產勘探許可證申請,以防北領地征服可能將地下煤的氣化歸類為受『採礦法』管轄的行為。
其他未經測試的勘探線索有許多尚未經過評估。Amadeus的Ooraminna和Waterhouse這兩個勘探區都有氣體流到表面,但仍未經評估;這兩個勘探區的油氣儲存區都超過300平方公里。
自油價為每桶12美元的1998年以來,本公司採取了高度集中的策略,在公司認為極具油氣潛能的澳洲中部地區獲取土地,並試圖擴大在這個重點地區的規模。公司還將繼續收購本地區內外保留性質的資產,前提是此類收購機會能夠有助於為探索和發展本公司的當前利益儘早提供資金。
Total的全資子公司法國石油公司、Santos、Beach Petroleum和North Broken Hill公司在20世紀60年代進行的早期勘探取得了一些令人鼓舞的成果。實際上,是Magellan和其他公司發現了至今仍在生產的Mereenie和Palm Valley油氣產區,這兩個產區擁有相當於1億4千萬桶原油的儲備,一度曾是澳洲最大的陸上油氣產區。
從20世紀60年代到中部石油公司採取目前的策略之前,有多種因素共同阻礙了澳洲中部的發展。這些因素包括該地區的偏遠性、開發銷售用天然氣通過管道輸送到東海岸國內市場在經濟上相對吸引力較低、缺乏直接通往出口市場的鐵路連接,以及低迷的油價使得氣轉液業務不具經濟吸引力。隨著普遍較高的油價的到來以及直接通往Darwin港口設施的鐵路線的投用,開發該地區的條件已經成熟。
本公司正在開發的多個新的區帶類型包括:
- a. Horn Valley斷層源非常規天然氣區帶,包括盆地中部的天然氣區帶。這個巨大的地岩層中,成熟的天然氣超過約10,000平方公里,成熟的原油超過7,000平方公里,被認為有潛力和美國的Baxter Shale和Bakken Shale區相比。
- b. 公司的Southern Georgina盆地許可證申請包括Arthur Creek Shale,這是該地區一個巨大的頁岩體,油氣成熟度不同,平均深度為500米,在源岩特性方面和美國的Baxter Shale和Bakken Shale十分類似。
- c. 很寬的向斜結構上的區帶,儲層向上逐漸變薄,在陡峭的背斜結構上部終止,這種區帶有些長達70公里,寬25公里
- d. 迄今尚未被承認的Pioneer Sandstone-Aralka Formation石油系統,根據近期的分析,涵蓋範圍超過10萬平方公里。
- e. 充氣鑽井穿過、可能被忽視的多個未經測試的潛在油區帶。
- 可能有Aralka-Pioneer和Heavitree石油系統的很大的背斜勘探目標,由於以前只關注Ordovician石油系統而基本被忽視。
- 巨大的奧陶紀傾斜圈閉結構,一面被斷層上盤封閉,斷層下方可能還有石油圈閉
- 多個鹽結構區帶
- Pedirka盆地內已經過分析、邊緣為泥盆紀結構的巨大碳酸鹽臺地區帶,被認為在普通地質上和中亞的許多盛產區類似。
- Southern Georgina盆地裡傾入很多很長的砂岩河床的風暴岩結構,這些風暴岩據分析具有可維持的儲藏、來源和密封特性
中部石油公司運營的幾個盆地--Amadeus盆地、Pedirka盆地、Lander Trough盆地以及Georgina盆地的一部分--可能屬於世界上有開採前途的陸上盆地中開採程度最低的,這一點已十分明確。Pedirka盆地被認為可以與澳洲的Cooper盆地相比,而Amadeus盆地、Lander Trough盆地和Southern Georgina盆地在固有地質特性和目前的結構上則與阿曼的產油盆地、東西伯利亞平台以及中國的四川盆地相似。
中部石油公司旨在與合資夥伴一起在澳洲中部開發一個巨大的生產基地,將石油和氦氣產品在向國內外目的地發運前通過新建的鐵路線運到Port Darwin,而不是用管道通過Moomba傳送,以此為產品增添價值。
