石油圈中國石化新聞網訊 據《海灣新聞》11月18日開羅報道，埃及時下正在尋求利用其新近開發的巨大海底天然氣儲量把本國打造成一個重要的能源出口國并重振其萎靡不振的經濟。 在地中海發現巨大天然氣田的鼓舞下，開羅最近幾個月與鄰國以色列、塞浦路斯和希臘先后簽署了天然氣協議。 埃及前石油部長奧薩馬?卡邁勒(Osama Kamal)表示，埃及有一個“成為地區能源中心的計劃”。 在過去的一年里，位于埃及地中海沿岸以外海域的四個主要氣田開始向外輸送天然氣，其中包括埃及巨大的深海祖爾大氣田。 祖爾大氣田是意大利能源巨頭埃尼公司在2015年發現的，祖爾大氣田是迄今為止在埃及海域發現的最大天然氣田。 直接的結果是，自今年9月份以來，這個阿拉伯世界人口最多的國家已經能夠停止液化天然氣(LNG)的進口。去年，埃及每月LNG進口耗資2.2億美元（8.08億迪拉姆）。 李峻 編譯自 海灣新聞 原文如下： Undersea gas fires Egypt’s regional energy dreams Egypt is looking to use its vast, newly tapped undersea gas reserves to establish itself as a key energy exporter and revive its flagging economy. Encouraged by the discovery of huge natural gasfields in the Mediterranean, Cairo has in recent months signed gas deals with neighbouring Israel as well as Cyprus and Greece. Former oil minister Osama Kamal said Egypt has a “plan to become a regional energy hub”. In the past year, gas has started flowing from four major fields off Egypt’s Mediterranean coast, including the vast Zohr field, inaugurated with great ceremony by President Abdul Fattah Al Sissi. Discovered in 2015 by Italian energy giant Eni, Zohr is the biggest gasfield so far found in Egyptian waters. The immediate upshot has been that since September, the Arab world’s most populous country has been able to halt imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG), which last year cost it some $220 million (Dh808 million) per month. ?
