石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据美国彭博新闻社3月5日休斯敦报道，当多米尼加共和国本月底前首次把本国向天然气和石油勘探开放以及加入加勒比地区各国政府开发能源生产的决心的时候，多米尼加共和国预计将吸引诸如英国石油公司和埃克森美孚公司那样的全球能源巨头。 多米尼加能源和矿业部长艾萨·康德5日在圣多明哥的一次采访中说，多米尼加政府计划在3月底前计划把两个陆山区块向石油勘探开放以及把两个海上区块向天然气勘探开放。埃克森美孚公司的一名女发言人在一份电邮中说，该公司不会评论未来的业务计划。英国石油公司没有回复寻求评论的电子邮件。 康德说：“这对我们来说完全是处女地。但是，如果我们没有从已表示巨大兴趣的国际公司和投资者那里收到保证，我们将不会继续推进这个项目。” 康德说，发展石油工业将给这个拥有1100万人口的国家带来另外的外汇收入来源并允许这个国家削减燃料进口费用。 李峻 编译自 美国彭博新闻社 原文如下： Dominican Republic to Join Caribbean Energy Exploration Rush The Dominican Republic expects to draw interest from energy titans BP Plc and Exxon Mobil Corp. when it opens the country to natural gas and oil exploration for the first time later this month, joining a push by governments across the Caribbean to develop energy production. The government plans to open two land blocks for oil exploration and two offshore blocks for natural gas exploratory drilling by the end of March, said Energy and Mining Minister Isa Conde in an interview in Santo Domingo. An Exxon spokeswoman said in an email that the company does not comment on future business plans. BP did not respond to an email seeking comment. “This is completely virgin territory for us,” Conde said. “But we would not be going forward if we had not received assurances from international companies and investors that there was substantial interest.’’ Developing the industry would give the nation of 11 million another source of foreign exchange earnings and allow it to cut its fuel import bill, Conde said.
