據鉆機地帶3月18日消息稱，英國獨立上游油氣公司Serica能源在英國北海的Rhum油田繼續生產。

修復工作完成后，潛水支持船替換了Rhum海底控制模塊中的故障部件，作業仍在繼續。

值得一提的是，今年2月，Rhum海底控制模塊的故障導致了暫時停產。更換工作是利用庫存中的一個備用模塊完成的，盡管遇到了惡劣的天氣條件，但沒有發生事故。

Bruce油田的生產一直在進行，Serica的其他油田(Erskine和Columbus)沒有受到這次Rhum問題的影響。在Rhum停產期間，該公司的平均凈產量超過1.5萬桶/天。

Serica能源首席執行官 Mitch Flegg 說：“在水深超過100米(328英尺)、天氣條件惡劣的情況下，這是一項非常困難的作業。我們熟練的陸上和海上團隊已經安全有效地計劃和執行了工作計劃。這是一項杰出的努力?！?/p>

他補充道:“在Rhum停產期間，我們能夠優化Bruce的產量，這有助于將生產延遲帶來的現金流損失降至最低?！?/p>

Serica是英國北海Bruce、Keith和Rhum油田的運營商，分別持有98、100和50%的權益，并持有英國北海中部Columbus油田50%的運營權益。Serica還持有英國北海中部Erskine油田18%的未經營權。

Serica超過85%的產量是天然氣，這是英國能源轉型的關鍵因素。

Serica Restarts Production at Rhum Field

British independent upstream oil and gas company Serica Energy has continued production at the Rhum field in the UK North Sea.

Operations have continued following the repair job completed with a Diving Support Vessel (DSV) that replaced the faulty component in the Rhum Subsea Control Module.

To remind, in February, the fault in the Rhum Subsea Control Module necessitated a temporary shutdown of production. The replacement was completed utilizing a spare module held in stock, without incident despite the difficult weather conditions encountered.

Production from the Bruce field has continued throughout these operations and Serica’s other producing fields (Erskine and Columbus) were not impacted by this Rhum issue. During the Rhum outage, the company’s average net production has been over 15,000 boe/d.

“This was a difficult operation at water depths of over 100 meters (328 feet) in a period of challenging weather conditions. Our skilled teams onshore and offshore have planned and executed the work program safely and efficiently. This has been an outstanding effort,” said Mitch Flegg, Chief Executive of Serica Energy. 

“During the Rhum shutdown we have been able to optimize the Bruce production rates, which has helped to minimize cash flow reduction from this production deferral,” he added.

Serica is the operator of the producing Bruce, Keith, and Rhum fields in the UK Northern North Sea, holding interests of 98, 100, and 50 percent respectively, and holds a 50 percent operated interest in the Columbus field in the UK Central North Sea. Serica also holds an 18 percent non-operated interest in the producing Erskine field in the UK Central North Sea.

Over 85 percent of Serica's production is natural gas, a key element in the UK's energy transition.?
