據油價網7月26日消息，石油巨頭紛紛在巴西近海的石油勘探上押下重注，那里高產的鹽下盆地有望在未來幾年提供大量額外的石油供應。

　　從殼牌到埃克森美孚，許多大公司繼續在巴西近海勘探石油。巴西預計將成為未來十年全球石油供應的主要非歐佩克貢獻者之一。

　　里約石油工人Matheus Rangel告訴彭博社：“我們正在經歷多年來最好的時刻。”

　　雷斯塔能源(Rystad Energy)高級副總裁兼拉丁美洲負責人Schreiner Parker上月在雷斯塔的地區通訊中寫道:“無論是在巴西近海等成熟地區，還是圭亞那-蘇里南盆地等邊緣地區，勘探活動以及更重要的支出都在增加。”

　　Parker表示，去年在該地區發現了約10億桶油當量的儲量，其中僅墨西哥和巴西就占了90%以上。

　　Parker指出，在浮式生產儲卸油裝置(FPSO)的審批方面，巴西也有望領先全球，預計在2021年至2025年間將批準20艘FPSO。

　　巴西礦業和能源部長Bento Albuquerque本月早些時候在接受《里約時報》采訪時表示，巴西預計未來十年的石油產量將大幅增長，到2030年，巴西將成為世界第五大原油出口國。

　　Albuquerque表示:“到2030年，當我們的石油產量達到530萬桶/天時，巴西將成為世界第五大石油出口國。”他補充稱，巴西的原油和液體產量將從目前的330萬桶/天逐步躍升。

　　目前，巴西已不在世界十大原油出口國之列，而沙特阿拉伯則穩居榜首。

　　巴西高產的鹽下海上油田近年來一直在提高產量，是石油產量增長的主要動力。此外，根據歐佩克自身的估計，巴西是不屬于歐佩克+聯盟的國家之一，預計今年和未來幾年將繼續為非歐佩克供應做出貢獻。

　　Big Oil Doubles Down On Brazil’s Exploding Offshore Sector

　　Big Oil is betting big on oil exploration offshore Brazil, where the prolific pre-salt basin promises a lot of additional supply over the coming years.

　　From Shell to Exxon, many major corporations continue to win acreage and explore for oil off Brazil, which is expected to be one of the key non-OPEC contributors to global oil supply this decade.

　　“We are going through the best moment in years,” Matheus Rangel, a Rio-based oil worker told Bloomberg’s Peter Millard.

　　“Exploration activity, and more importantly expenditure, is picking up, both in mature regions such as Brazil’s offshore and frontier areas like the Guyana-Suriname basin,” Schreiner Parker, Senior Vice President and Head of Latin America at Rystad Energy, wrote in Rystad’s regional newsletter last month.

　　Last year, some 1 billion barrels of oil equivalent (boe) of reserves were discovered in the region, with Mexico and Brazil alone accounting for more than 90 percent of these volumes, Parker said.

　　Brazil is also expected to lead globally in terms of floating production storage and offloading (FPSO) sanctioning with 20 FPSOs expected to be sanctioned between 2021 and 2025, Parker noted.

　　Brazil’s expected oil output surge this decade will make it the world’s fifth-largest crude exporter in 2030, Brazilian Mines and Energy Minister Bento Albuquerque said in an interview with The Rio Times earlier this month.

　　“In 2030, when we reach a production of 5.3 million barrels of oil per day, Brazil will become the fifth largest exporter in the world,” Albuquerque said, adding that Brazil’s crude and liquids production is set to jump from 3.3 million barrels per day (bpd) now.

　　Currently, Brazil is out of the top ten of the world’s largest crude oil exporters, a ranking where Saudi Arabia is firmly in the lead.

　　Brazil’s prolific pre-salt offshore oilfields have been ramping up production in recent years and are the main driver of rising oil production. Moreover, Brazil is one of the countries not part of the OPEC+ alliance that are expected to continue to contribute to non-OPEC supply this year and in the coming years, according to estimates from OPEC itself.
