希伯尼亚油田(Hibernia)是近十年加拿大石油工业最重要发现之一,这个储集性质极好的大油田是钻探边井肯定的。1979年在纽芬兰岛的圣约翰城以东325公里处,在格兰得滩东北边缘水深约80米的地方,钻了雪佛龙公司的希伯尼亚P-15井,发现了油田(图1)。甩开的探边井仍在钻进中,并且正在评价开发方法。如果联邦政府和州政府在管辖权上的争执不引起严重延误的话,最早到1986年可能初步投产。由于希伯尼亚油田探井资料仍处于保密阶段,本文的讨论只限于已公布的P-15发 Hibernia is one of the most significant discoveries of the Canadian petroleum industry in the past decade. The large, well-preserved oil field is well established for drilling wells. In 1979, 325 kilometers east of St. John’s Island in Newfoundland, a Chevron P-15 well was drilled at a water depth of about 80 meters on the northeastern edge of Grand Beach. Oil fields ( figure 1). Thrown wells are still drilling, and are evaluating development methods. If the federal and state governments on the jurisdiction of the dispute does not cause serious delays, then as early as 1986 may be initial production. As the exploratory well data in the Hibernian oilfield is still under confidentiality, the discussion in this article is limited to the published P-15
