据美国钻井网站2022年8月2日报道，巴西国家石油公司（巴国油/Petrobras）8月2日证实，该公司日前在位于哥伦比亚海上深水区的Tyrona区块的Uchuva-1勘探井获得了新的天然气发现。  

作为运营商，巴国油拥有44.44%的开采权益，而哥伦比亚国家石油公司则拥有56.54%的权益，发现井位于距离哥伦比亚海岸19.9英里处海域，距离圣玛尔塔市47.2英里，水深大约2723英尺。  

巴国油在声明中表示，这个发现是该国际财团通过应用新的地质和地球物理技术解决方案提高数据利用率的结果，增加了深水区作业的专门技能。  

Tayrona区块是巴西国油积极投资组合管理的投资组合之一，这个新领域的开发与公司的战略支柱相一致，即将其价值最大化，专注于深水和超深水资产的勘探和开发。取得的成果增加了在哥伦比亚开发勘探和生产新前沿的远景构造。 

国际财团将继续在Tayrona区块开展油气活动，旨在评估新的天然气聚集的规模。

哥伦比亚国家石油公司总裁Felipe Bayón说：“这一发现对哥伦比亚国家石油公司和哥伦比亚来说意义重大，因为它证实了加勒比地区作为我国主要天然气来源之一的重要性。我们非常高兴在Chuchupa-Ballenas附近地区开辟这一新的疆域，这些天然气田标志着我们海上作业40年的历史达到里程碑，并对国家的‘气化’作出了重大贡献。这对1000多万在日常生活中使用天然气的哥伦比亚家庭来说是个好消息。”

Petrobras Hits Gas Off Colombia

Petrobras has confirmed a new natural gas find in Colombian deep waters in the Uchuva-1 exploratory well in the Tyrona Block.

Petrobras, as the operator, holds 44.44 percent working interest, with Ecopetrol holding a 56.54 percent interest in the well located 19.9 miles off the coast and 47.2 miles from the city of Santa Marta, in a water depth of approximately 2723 feet.

This discovery is the result of the consortium's actions to enhance the use of data through the application of new geological and geophysical technological solutions, added to the expertise in deep water operations, Petrobras informed in its statement.

The Tayrona Block is in Petrobras' portfolio for active portfolio management and the opening of this new frontier is aligned with the company's strategic pillar of maximizing its value with a focus on exploration of deep and ultra-deepwater assets. The result achieved increases the prospects for developing a new frontier of exploration and production in Colombia.

The consortium will continue its activities in the Tayrona Block, aiming to assess the dimensions of the new gas accumulation.

“This discovery is very significant for Ecopetrol and Colombia because it ratifies the importance of the Caribbean as one of the main sources of gas for our country. We are very pleased to open this new frontier in an area near Chuchupa-Ballenas, gas fields that have marked the history of our offshore operations for four decades and have contributed significantly to the "gasification" of the country. This is great news for the more than 10 million Colombian families that today use gas in their daily lives,” said the president of Ecopetrol, Felipe Bayón.
