中国石化新闻网讯 据海外媒体2月19日东京报道，JX新日本石油天然气勘探公司周一晚在东京披露，其麾下的JX新日本勘探和生产公司（JXNEPUK）提交的北海稠油油田Mariner油田的油田开发计划日前获得了英国政府能源和气候变化部（DECC）的批准。
JX新日本石油天然气勘探公司说，Mariner稠油油田位于北海的9/11a区块内，距离设得兰群岛150公里，水深110米。这个油田包括钻井作业在内的总投资将超过70亿美元。
1981年发现的Mariner稠油油田估计拥有2.5亿多桶可采石油储量，这个油田在投产以后的前4年里将平均日产5.5万桶石油。
这个将于2017年投产油田的开采寿命预计大约在30年。

Tuesday, February 19, 2013
The UK's Department of Energy and Climate Change (DECC) has approved JX Nippon Exploration and Production's (JXNEPUK) field development plan for the Mariner oil field in the North Sea, the latter's parent – JX Nippon Oil and Gas Exploration – disclosed in a statement late Monday.
The Mariner heavy oil field is sited in Block 9/11a in the North Sea, 93 miles (150 kilometers) east of Shetlands in a water depth of 360 feet (110 meters). The total investment in the field, including drilling, will be in excess of $7 billion, JX Nippon revealed.
Discovered in 1981, the Mariner field is estimated to have recoverable reserves of more than 250 million barrels of oil and 55,000 barrels of average daily oil production for the first four years.
Life of the oil field is expected to be around 30 years from 2017.
