據油價網1月20日消息稱，韋斯特伍德全球能源集團在一份關于 2021 年高影響力的新報告中表示，英國石油和俄羅斯石油公司是去年僅有的兩家探明儲量超過10億桶石油當量的公司，因為它們在俄羅斯的石油儲量占全球已探明資源的48%。

韋斯特伍德表示，總體而言，全球已發現資源量令人失望，從 2020 年的 190 億桶油當量 (boe) 降至 2021 年的 66 億桶油當量。去年發現的資源中，石油占 36%，天然氣占 64%。

韋斯特伍德的數據顯示，與 2020 年一樣，2021 年已發現的資源主要集中在俄羅斯的少數大型發現中，占去年全球發現的 48%。 

在俄羅斯以外，2021年的發現量是至少自2008年以來十多年來的最低水平——34億桶油當量。

韋斯特伍德全球勘探與評估高級分析師 Jamie Collard 寫道：“邊境勘探鉆探降至自2008年以來的最低水平，僅完成了15口邊境井，只有1口有可能實現中等規模的商業發現。”

南美沿岸蘇里南-圭亞那盆地的發現主導了新興油氣藏的勘探，其中四個發現增加了約10億桶油當量。

BP, Rosneft Were only Firms With Over 1 Billion Barrel Oil Finds In 2021

BP and Rosneft were the only companies to have delivered over 1 billion barrels of oil equivalent in discoveries last year due to their exposure in Russia which yielded 48 percent of the world’s discovered resources, Westwood Global Energy Group said in a new report on 2021 high impact exploration.

Overall, the volume of discovered resources globally was disappointing, dropping from 19 billion barrels of oil equivalent (boe) in 2020 to just 6.6 billion boe in 2021, Westwood said. Of the discovered resources last year, 36 percent were oil and 64 percent were gas.

As in 2020, discovered resources in 2021 were mainly concentrated in a small number of large discoveries in Russia, which accounted for 48 percent of all global discoveries last year, according to Westwood. 

Outside Russia, discoveries in 2021 were at the lowest level—3.4 billion boe—in more than a decade, since at least 2008.

“Frontier exploration drilling fell to the lowest level ever recorded by Westwood (since 2008) with only 15 frontier wells completing and only one making a potentially modest-sized commercial discovery,” wrote Jamie Collard, Senior Analyst, Global Exploration and Appraisal at Westwood.

Exploration in emerging plays was dominated by discoveries in the Suriname-Guyana basin offshore South America, where four discoveries added an additional estimated around 1 billion boe.
