据离岸工程网站7月26日消息 澳大利亚桑托斯石油天然气公司已开始从Van Gogh-2期填充式开发项目开始生产，新井实现创纪录产量。

　　桑托斯已于2020年3月宣布了Van Gogh-2期填充式开发项目的最终投资决定（FID），该项目涉及钻探和完成三口新的水平、双侧向生产井，并将海底回接至现有基础设施。

　　桑托斯在周一宣布了第一批石油，三口新油井中的第一口正在以油田历史上单井的最高初始产量生产。Van Gogh的生产始于2010年，附近的Coniston油田和Novara油田分别于2015年和2016年与FPSO相连。

　　桑托斯表示：“第一口井在完井和对接后，最高产量达到了23200桶/日，远远超过了单井的预期。”

　　目前正在进行第二口水平、双侧向生产井的钻探。

　　Van Gogh油田（WA-35-L）是位于Exmouth盆地的三个海底油田开发项目之一，与Ningaloo Vision FPSO相连。

　　Santos' New Well at Van Gogh Offshore Oil Field Hits Output Record

　　Australian oil and gas company Santos has started oil production from the Van Gogh Phase 2 Infill Development, offshore W. Australia, hitting a production record.

　　Santos had announced a Final Investment Decision (FID) on the Van Gogh Infill Development Phase 2 Project in March 2020, with the project involving the drilling and completing of three new horizontal, dual-lateral production wells and subsea tieback into existing infrastructure.

　　Announcing the first oil on Monday, Santos said that the first of three new production wells was producing at the highest initial rate from an individual well in field history. Production from Van Gogh began in 2010, with the nearby Coniston and Novara fields tied back to the FPSO in 2015 and 2016, respectively.

　　"Following completion and tie-in, the first well has produced at a peak rate of 23,200 barrels per day (bbl/d), well ahead of expectations for a single well," Santos said.

　　The drilling of the second horizontal, dual-lateral production well now underway.

　　The Van Gogh field (WA-35-L) is one of three subsea oil field developments located in the Exmouth Basin which tie into the Ningaloo Vision FPSO.
