据管道新闻网6月13日消息称，由奥地利石油公司OMV控股的罗马尼亚石油天然气集团OMV Petrom周二表示，该公司发现的新原油和天然气储量相当于其2022年总产量的四分之三左右。

该公司表示，这些油田是OMV Petrom几十年来的最大储量发现，位于罗马尼亚南部，储量超过3000万桶油当量。

该公司负责勘探和生产的公司董事会成员Cristian Hubati表示：“新发现将有助于减少我们产量的下降，并为经济提供持续的基本产品供应。”

这些发现分布在三个地区，其中最大的发现位于Verguleasa地区，靠近现有的生产，这是勘探现有基础设施附近战略的一部分。

OMV Petrom表示，预计将在今年年中左右就Neptun Deep天然气项目做出决定，该项目估计耗资约40亿欧元(43.2亿美元)。此前，该项目的开发计划因税收和法规的出台而被推迟。

OMV Petrom Makes Largest Crude Oil Discovery in Decades

Romanian oil and gas group OMV Petrom, majority-controlled by Austria's OMV, said on Tuesday it discovered new crude oil and natural gas deposits equal to about three quarters of its overall 2022 production.

The deposits are the largest crude oil discovery OMV Petrom has made in decades, it said, and were found in southern Romania holding over 30 million barrels of oil equivalent (boe) of recoverable resources.

"The new discoveries will contribute to reducing the decline of our production and to the continuity of the supply of essential products for the economy," said Cristian Hubati, a company board member responsible for exploration and production.

The discoveries were in three areas, with the largest in the Verguleasa area that is near existing production, part of a strategy of exploring near infrastructure already present.

OMV Petrom has said it expected a decision around the middle of this year for the Neptun Deep gas project, estimated to cost around 4 billion euros ($4.32 billion). Plans to develop the project were previously delayed by taxes and regulations introduced without notice.
