据钻机地带10月11日消息称，石油和天然气公司Energean在以色列海上Hermes勘探井发现了商业性天然气。

Energean表示，初步估计Hermes井的可采天然气资源在70亿至150亿立方米之间。使用Stena IceMax钻井船进行钻探，现在该船已移动到第12区块钻探Zeus结构。

该公司补充说，对该井收集到的数据的详细分析正在进行中，目的是优化储量估算，以及该发现区域和整个区域的潜在商业价值。

Hermes的发现有助于降低附近Poseidon和Orpheus结构的风险，这是未来具有吸引力的潜在评估目标，可以充分评估31区块附近地区的潜力。

Energean Makes Gas Discovery Offshore Israel

Oil and gas company Energean has made a commercial gas discovery in the Hermes exploration well offshore Israel.

Energean said that the preliminary estimate in the Hermes well find was between 7 and 15 bcm of recoverable natural gas resources. It was drilled using the Stena IceMax drillship which has now moved to block 12 to drill the Zeus structure.

The company added that a detailed analysis of the data collected by the well was ongoing, with the aim of refining volumetric estimates and potential commerciality for both the discovery and the full area.

The Hermes discovery has helped to de-risk the nearby Poseidon and Orpheus structures, which represent attractive potential future appraisal targets to fully assess the potential of the area around block 31.
