中國石化新聞網訊 據路透社1月23日圣多美報道,圣多美和普林西比(圣普)國家石油公司23日在圣多美宣布,一個由英國石油公司(BP)和美國科斯莫斯能源公司(科斯莫斯)組成的國際財團日前贏得了位于圣普專屬經濟區(EEZ)內的兩個海上石油區塊的勘探權。 圣普國家石油公司經理奧蘭多·龐特斯周一晚些時候在一份聲明中說,這兩家公司在一次受限制招標中贏得了第10號區塊和第13號區塊。他們打敗了另外一個由葡萄牙Galp能源公司和法國道達爾公司組成的國際財團。 圣普是位于非洲幾內亞灣的一個小國,這個小國被擁有豐富石油儲量的鄰國尼日利亞、喀麥隆、赤道幾內亞和安哥拉包圍。盡管在幾年的勘探作業以后沒有獲得重大發現,但行業認為圣普近海很有可能最終會出產石油。目前一些公司正在進行勘探作業。圣普的12.9萬平方公里的EEZ被劃分成19個區塊。 目前活躍在西非和中非其它部分的總部設在紐約的科斯莫斯能源公司在2015年和2016年獲得了圣普海上第5號區塊、第6號區塊和第12號區塊。圣普國家石油公司預計這家美國公司將在2019年根據地震結果開始鉆井作業。 李峻 編譯自 路透社 原位如下: BP, Kosmos Win Rights To Two Oil Blocks In Sao Tome And Principe A consortium of BP and Kosmos Energy has won exploration rights to two offshore oil blocks in Sao Tome and Principe’s exclusive economic zone (EEZ), the national oil agency said. The two companies won blocks 10 and 13 in a restricted tender, the agency’s director Orlando Pontes said in a statement late on Monday. They beat a second consortium of Portugal’s Galp Energia and Total, he said. Sao Tome and Principe, a tiny island nation in Africa’s Gulf of Guinea, is surrounded by oil-rich neighbours Nigeria, Cameroon, Equatorial Guinea and Angola. Despite a lack of significant discoveries after several years of prospecting, the industry sees its waters as likely to yield oil eventually, and several firms are currently exploring. Its 129,000-square km EEZ is divided into 19 blocks. New York-listed Kosmos Energy, which is active in other parts of West and Central Africa, acquired licenses to blocks 5, 6, 11 and 12 in 2015 and 2016. The national oil agency said it expected the firm to begin drilling in 2019 based on seismic results.
