据今日石油2021年5月10日里约热内卢报道，巴西国家石油管理局勘探部门主管Marina Abelha在4月28日举行的网络研讨会上表示，由于石油公司增加勘探活动，冠状病毒疫情大流行减弱，巴西国家石油管理局预计今年在巴西沿海钻取的勘探井数量将增加近三倍，达到19口。

　　在油气行业采取措施防止海上油气泄漏中断作业之后，勘探活动预计将出现上升。此外，巴西国家石油管理局高管们表示，冠状病毒疫苗的推出虽然缓慢，但正在加速，并将在2021年剩余时间达到临界规模。

　　Abelha说：“我们看到的是，石油公司都很谨慎，但也很乐观。”她说，巴西国家石油管理局的快速行动帮助巴西维持了针对石油行业的投资，尽管这项工作可能因大流行而略微推迟到未来进行。

　　Abelha说：“我们预计今年将好于去年。”

　　巴西国家石油管理局预计今年巴西将钻取45口新探井，其中19口在海上。去年勘探井数为16口，其中只有5口在海上。Abelha说，今年巴西钻井和伴随的地震调查的投资约为12亿美元，其中约5.93亿美元用于海上钻井作业。

　　Brazil offshore wells could quadruple to 19 this year

　　Brazil’s National Petroleum Agency expects the number of exploration wells drilled off the country’s coast to nearly quadruple in 2021 to 19 wells as oil companies ramp up activity and the coronavirus pandemic wanes, the regulator’s superintendent for exploration said during a webinar April 28.

　　The expected upswing in exploration activity came after the industry implemented measures to guard against offshore outbreaks that can disrupt operations. In addition, coronavirus vaccine rollouts, while slow, are accelerating and should reach critical mass through the remainder of 2021, executives said.

　　“What we’re seeing is that companies are cautious, but optimistic,” the ANP’s Marina Abelha, said. The agency’s quick actions helped maintain oil industry investments targeted for Brazil although the work was likely pushed slightly into the future by the pandemic, she said.

　　“We expect 2021 to be better than 2020,” Abelha said.

　　The ANP expects 45 wells to be drilled in 2021, with 19 offshore, according to Abelha. That would be up from a total of 16 wells in 2020, including just five offshore. The drilling and accompanying seismic surveys represent about $1.2 billion worth of investments in 2021, with about $593 million of that devoted to offshore work, Abelha said.
