石油圈中國石化新聞網訊 據路透社加拉加斯、墨西哥城報道，知情人士稱，委內瑞拉石油部上月拒絕了英國石油公司提出的購買道達爾在該國與特立尼達和多巴哥海上邊界一個有前景但不活躍的天然氣項目中股份的提議。 英國石油公司擁有特立尼達和多巴哥方面的天然氣開采權。知情人士（沒有獲授權發布消息）說，他們本可以利用鄰近地區的產出（德爾塔納平臺位于委內瑞拉東部海岸的第四個區塊）來滿足其在該島上日益增長的業務。 該國政府部門告訴雙方，該地區的儲備需要重新評估，并以此為由拒絕了其他交易。 其中兩名知情人士表示，這筆交易已經等待批準兩年了。法國道達爾在3月份提交的一份文件中表示，其49%的股份正在“等待當局的批準”。 天然氣投資可以幫助擁有世界上最大原油儲量的委內瑞拉彌補其石油工業資本不足的問題，該國在政治和經濟危機中，其石油產量持續下降。根據英國石油公司的《世界能源統計年鑒》，截至2017年底，委內瑞拉大部分未開發的天然氣儲量為225萬億立方英尺，而特立尼達和多巴哥為9.2萬億立方英尺。 英國石油公司和皇家荷蘭殼牌公司擁有特立尼達和多巴哥所有四家LNG工廠的股份。殼牌是世界上最大的LNG貿易商，在以520億美元收購BG集團之后，正在推動委內瑞拉在特立尼達和多巴哥附近的近海Dragon油田生產天然氣，該油田靠近其Hibiscus平臺。 殼牌和英國石油都在全球10大天然氣出口國之一的特立尼達和多巴哥加強天然氣業務。目前正在努力扭轉過去十年島上天然氣產量下降18%的局面。 詹曉晶 摘自 路透社 原文如下： Exclusive: Venezuela rejected BP bid to buy Total’s stake in gas block – sources Venezuela’s oil ministry last month turned down a proposal by BP (BP.L) to buy Total’s (TOTF.PA) stake in a promising but inactive natural gas project along the maritime border with Trinidad and Tobago, five people briefed on the matter said. BP owns the rights to the Trinidadian side of the gas play. It could have used the output from the neighboring area, the Deltana Platform’s fourth block off Venezuela’s eastern coast, to feed its growing operations on the island, said the people, who were not authorized to speak publicly. The ministry told the parties the area’s reserves needed to be re-estimated, an argument it has used to reject other deals. Two of the people said the deal had been waiting for approval for two years. France’s Total said in a March filing that the sale of its 49 percent stake was “awaiting approval from the authorities.” Gas investment could help Venezuela, which has the world’s largest crude reserves, compensate for lack of capital for its oil industry, whose production continues plummeting amid a political and economic crisis. Venezuela’s mostly undeveloped gas reserves were 225 trillion cubic feet (TCF) at the end of 2017, compared with Trinidad’s 9.2 TCF, according to BP’s Statistical Review of World Energy. BP and Royal Dutch Shell (RDSa.AS) own stakes in all four of Trinidad’s LNG plants, known as trains. Shell, the world’s largest liquefied gas trader after buying BG Group for $52 billion, is pushing Venezuela to let it produce gas in the offshore Dragon field, close to its Hibiscus platform off Trinidad. Both Shell and BP are ramping up gas operations in Trinidad, one of the world’s top 10 gas exporters. Efforts are under way to reverse the island’s 18 percent decline in gas output in the past decade. ? ?
