石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据MENAFN网站8月29日开罗报道，根据埃及石油部周二发布的一份声明，埃及石油部长塔雷克·穆拉日前就位于埃及西沙漠的16个新油气田与荷兰皇家壳牌公司和总部设在美国的Apex石油公司签署了3份至少价值8140万美元的石油和天然气勘探协议。 埃及石油部在声明中说，第一份油气勘探协议将看到壳牌公司投资3550万美元，而首次在埃及进行油气作业的美国Apex石油公司将向两个项目共投资4590万美元。 由于消费量增加而产量下降，曾经是一个净能源出口国的埃及在最近几年里已成为了一个净能源进口国。 埃及政府一直在努力把外国投资者吸引到本国能源部门来解决公共财政的紧缩问题。 穆拉在这些协议签署以后表示，埃及石油部的战略目标是吸引更多外国投资进入埃及油气勘探领域，这将有助于开发埃及几个地区的石油和天然气潜力。 李峻 编译自 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.
