據7月13日Offshore Energy報道稱，由于天然氣價格較低，荷蘭勘探和生產運營商Tulip Oil已經減少了位于北海荷蘭區Q10-A氣田的天然氣產量。

Q10-A油田于2019年2月開始產氣。開發需要安裝一條從Q10-a位置到P15d平臺的42km管道，以便出口。

在2020年第一季度，Tulip Oil從該氣田生產了1.98億標準立方米天然氣。然而，根據最新消息，鑒于目前天然氣價格較低，Q10-A油田的產量已部分減少，以保留天然氣。因此，今年第二季度天然氣產量已達1.19億標準立方米。

第二季度實現的平均天然氣價格為5.6歐元/MWh，上一季度為9.9歐元/MWh。

Tulip Oil說，目前產量維持在每天100萬立方米左右。儲層模型已經過校準，并繼續為未來的兩個Q10井做準備。

目前還采取措施，通過激活現有的第三方壓縮設備，大幅度提高生產能力。閑置產能正與天然氣價格前景一起管理。該公司補充說，它將繼續成熟額外的新鉆井目標，主要用于評估Q10-A油田附近的儲層。

Dutch operator curbs gas production from North Sea field over low prices

Dutch exploration and production operator Tulip Oil has reduced its gas production from the Q10-A gas field located in the Dutch sector of the North Sea due to low gas prices.

The Q10-A field started producing gas in February 2019. The development required the installation of a 42km pipeline from the Q10-A location to the P15d platform for export.

In the first quarter of 2020, Tulip produced 198 million standard cubic meters of gas from the field.

However, according to Tulip’s update on Monday, the production from the Q10-A field has been partially reduced to “leave gas in the ground” in view of the current low gas prices.

As a result, 119 million standard cubic meters of gas have been produced during the second quarter of the year.

The average realized gas price was 5.6 €/MWh during 2Q compared with 9.9 €/MWh in the previous quarter.

Tulip said that the production is being maintained at some 1 million cubic meters of gas per day. The reservoir models have been calibrated and preparations continue for two additional future Q10 wells.

Steps are also being taken to increase production capacity substantially by activating existing third-party compression facilities. Spare production capacity is being managed in conjunction with the gas price outlook.

Tulip Oil added it continues to mature additional new drilling targets predominantly to appraise reservoirs near the producing Q10-A field.
