石油圈中國石化新聞網訊 據MENAFN網站8月29日開羅報道，根據埃及石油部周二發布的一份聲明，埃及石油部長塔雷克·穆拉日前就位于埃及西沙漠的16個新油氣田與荷蘭皇家殼牌公司和總部設在美國的Apex石油公司簽署了3份至少價值8140萬美元的石油和天然氣勘探協議。 埃及石油部在聲明中說，第一份油氣勘探協議將看到殼牌公司投資3550萬美元，而首次在埃及進行油氣作業的美國Apex石油公司將向兩個項目共投資4590萬美元。 由于消費量增加而產量下降，曾經是一個凈能源出口國的埃及在最近幾年里已成為了一個凈能源進口國。 埃及政府一直在努力把外國投資者吸引到本國能源部門來解決公共財政的緊縮問題。 穆拉在這些協議簽署以后表示，埃及石油部的戰略目標是吸引更多外國投資進入埃及油氣勘探領域，這將有助于開發埃及幾個地區的石油和天然氣潛力。 李峻 編譯自 MENAFN.com 原文如下： Egypt signs 3 new gas, oil exploration deal with Shell, Apex Egyptian Minister of Petroleum Tarek El-Molla signed three oil and gas exploration deals for 16 new fields in the Western Desert worth at least 81.4m in total with Royal Dutch Shell and US-based Apex Oil Company, according to a statement issued on Tuesday. The Petroleum Ministry said that the first deal would see Shell invest 35.5m. The two others would see Apex, which is operating in Egypt for the first time, invest a combined 45.9m on two projects. Egypt, which used to be a net energy exporter, has become a net importer in recent years as consumption increased and production fell. The government has been on a drive to lure back foreign investors to its energy sector in an effort to address a squeeze on public finances. After signing the deals, El-Molla said that the ministry’s strategy aims to attract more foreign investments in the field of oil and gas exploration, which will contribute to exploiting the oil and gas potential of several regions in the country. ?
