石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社4月11日休斯敦报道，《华尔街日报》周二援引知情人士的消息报道称，埃克森美孚公司正与卡塔尔就可能达成的一项协议进行谈判，该协议可能会同意卡塔尔投资艾克森美孚公司的美国页岩气资源。 《华尔街日报》称，该协议可能会组建一个合资企业的形式，卡塔尔通过国有的卡塔尔石油公司(Qatar Petroleum)可能与埃克森XTO能源子公司合伙或投资未来的油井。
该报称尚未最终敲定协议，谈判可能会破裂。 该报并没有透露卡塔尔计划在XTO能源方面投资多少。 如果这项协议能像描述的那样成形，那么这将是中东国家第一次在美国页岩相关项目上意义重大的投资。 埃克森(Exxon)，为了在液化天然气项目增加投资正将目标瞄准了卡塔尔，其已与卡塔尔石油公司在塞浦路斯和巴西合伙。 卡塔尔埃米尔塔米姆•本•哈马德•阿勒萨尼（Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani）将于周三在华盛顿会见美国总统唐纳德•特朗普。 埃克森已经是美国第二大天然气生产商，其于今年早些时候表示，它的目标是到2025年将西德克萨斯和新墨西哥州的二叠纪盆地的产量提高三倍，达到每天600,000桶油当量。 对于陷入与沙特阿拉伯、阿联酋、巴林和埃及之间的争端的卡塔尔而言，此举可能有助于扩大其在中东以外地区的投资。 卡塔尔是石油输出国组织(Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries)里最小的生产国之一，同时也是全球液化天然气市场最具影响力的参与国之一，因其年产量为7,700万吨，巩固了其作为全球最大液化天然气供应商的地位。 卡塔尔石油公司(Qatar Petroleum)是德克萨斯州黄金通道液化天然气终端的大股东，同时埃克森和康菲石油公司(ConocoPhillips COP)持有较少的股份。 蔡小全 编译自 路透社 原文如下： Exxon, Qatar in talks for potential U.S. shale gas deal Exxon Mobil Corp is in talks with Qatar over a possible deal that could see the country investing in the company’s U.S. shale gas resources, the Wall Street Journal reported on Tuesday, citing people familiar with the matter. The deal could take the shape of a joint venture in which Qatar, through state-owned Qatar Petroleum, could partner or invest in future wells with Exxon’s XTO Energy subsidiary, the newspaper said. The newspaper said no deal had been finalized yet and talks could collapse. The newspaper did not say how much Qatar was planning to invest in XTO Energy. If the deal takes shape as described, it would be the first time a Middle Eastern country invested significantly in a U.S. shale-related project. Exxon, which is targeting Qatar for additional investments in liquefied natural gas (LNG) projects, already partners with Qatar Petroleum in Cyprus and Brazil. Qatar’s Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani is set to meet U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington on Wednesday. Exxon, already the second-largest U.S. natural gas producer, said earlier this year it is aiming to triple production in the Permian Basin of West Texas and New Mexico to 600,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day by 2025. For Qatar, which is locked in a dispute with Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain and Egypt, the move could help broaden its investments outside the Middle East. Qatar is one of the smallest producers of the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries and also one of the most influential players in the global LNG market due to its annual production of 77 million tonnes, cementing its position as the world’s largest LNG supplier. Qatar Petroleum is majority owner of the Golden Pass LNG terminal in Texas, with Exxon and ConocoPhillips COP.N holding smaller stakes.
