安哥拉卡昂博深水项目今年原油日产量预增一倍

据普氏能源资讯4月2日伦敦报道，安哥拉卡昂博（Kaombo）深水项目作业者法国道达尔公司周二在巴黎表示，今年来自安哥拉备受关注的投资160亿美元的超深水卡昂博开发项目的原油日产量预计将增加一倍，达到23万桶，道达尔公司将启动第二个海上浮式产油、储油和卸油（FPSO）装置。

道达尔公司表示，在去年7月日产11.5万桶原油的北卡昂博油田投产以后，日产11.5万桶原油的南卡昂博油田 FPSO装置日前已开始产油。

目前，由于油田趋于成熟，安哥拉正努力遏制石油产量下降。

卡昂博油田开发项目是安哥拉最大的海上项目，这个项目对安哥拉严重依赖石油的经济至关重要。

从这两个FPSO装置中出口的原油被称为GINDUNGO，以安哥拉主要海上项目中的一个油田命名。

据标普全球普氏能源资讯估计，过去6个月，GINDUNGO的日均出口量大约为11万桶。在过去几个月里，几乎所有的GINDUNGO出口货物都运往中国，也有一些运往欧洲。

消息人士称，Gindungo已被归类为中质低硫原油，这种原油具有高真空轻油精炼率以及大量的中间馏分油和航空燃料精炼率。

标准普尔全球普氏能源资讯看到的一份原油分析报告显示，GINDUNGO原油的API度为32，含硫量为0.58%，与俄罗斯的ESPO出口混合原油的质量类似，后者通过管道从俄罗斯东部向中国和更广泛的亚洲买家供应。

Crude output at Angola's Kaombo deepwater project ramps up: Total

Production from Angola's much-touted $16 billion ultra-deepwater Kaombo development in Angola is expected to double to 230,000 b/d this year, with the startup of its second floating production, storage and offloading unit, project operator Total said Tuesday.

Output at the 115,000 b/d Kaombo Sul FPSO has started up after the 115,000 b/d Kaombo Norte unit came online in July last year, Total said.

The development comes at a time when Angola is struggling to stem its oil output decline due to maturing fields.

The Kaombo development is the biggest offshore project in the country, and is key to its oil-reliant economy.

GINDUNGO EXPORTS The crude exported from both these FPSOs is called Gindungo, named after one of the fields in the major offshore project.

Gindungo exports have averaged around 110,000 b/d in the past six months, according S&P Global Platts estimates. Almost all of the cargoes have gone to China, with a few going to Europe in the past few months.

Gindungo has been classified as medium sweet, with a high vacuum gasoil refining yield, along with a substantial middle distillate and jet fuel yield, sources said.

According to a crude assay seen by S&P Global Platts, Gindungo has a specific gravity of 32 API with a sulfur content of 0.58%, similar in quality to Russia's ESPO export blend which supplies Chinese and wider Asian buyers via pipeline from eastern Russia.
