石油设备网讯 据路透社3月21日报道，一位专家表示，巴林有望在未来三年内成为该地区主要的石油生产国。
资深全球能源市场专家、多家国际智库顾问Cyril Widdershoven博士表示，巴林需要投资基础设施，以从两个新发现的油气田中获益。
巴林去年4月宣布，在西海岸发现了丰富的石油和深层天然气资源。
美国石油顾问Degolyer和MacNaughton以及油田服务公司Halliburton的独立评估证实，巴林发现“大量石油，致密油至少达800亿桶，该地区的深层天然气储量达10-20万亿立方英尺。”
“发现800亿桶致密油是一项重大进展，将使巴林成为一个主要产油国。” Widdershoven博士表示。
“让我们估计一下，他们设法钻探了400亿桶石油——这足以使这个国家在三年内成为一个主要的石油生产国。”
“未来几年，日产量有可能达到30万桶。”

Bahrain ‘set to be major oil player’ in the region: Expert
Bahrain could become a major oil player in the region in the next three years, according to an expert.
Veteran global energy market expert and adviser at several international think tanks Dr Cyril Widdershoven said Bahrain needed to invest in infrastructure to benefit from two newly discovered oil and gas fields.
Bahrain announced in April last year that extensive oil and deep gas sources had been discovered off the west coast.
Independent appraisals by US-based oil consultants DeGolyer and MacNaughton and oilfield services company Halliburton had confirmed Bahrain’s find of “highly significant quantities of oil in place for the Khalij Al Bahrain, with tight oil amounting to at least 80 billion barrels, and deep gas reserves in the region of 10-20 trillion cubic feet”.
“The discovery of 80bn barrels of tight oil is a massive development that will make Bahrain a major oil-producing nation,” said Dr Widdershoven.
“Let’s estimate they manage to drill 40bn barrels of oil – that is enough to make this country a major oil-producing nation in three years.
“It is possible to produce 300,000 barrels per day in the years to come.”
