石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据《海湾新闻》11月18日开罗报道，埃及时下正在寻求利用其新近开发的巨大海底天然气储量把本国打造成一个重要的能源出口国并重振其萎靡不振的经济。 在地中海发现巨大天然气田的鼓舞下，开罗最近几个月与邻国以色列、塞浦路斯和希腊先后签署了天然气协议。 埃及前石油部长奥萨马•卡迈勒(Osama Kamal)表示，埃及有一个“成为地区能源中心的计划”。 在过去的一年里，位于埃及地中海沿岸以外海域的四个主要气田开始向外输送天然气，其中包括埃及巨大的深海祖尔大气田。 祖尔大气田是意大利能源巨头埃尼公司在2015年发现的，祖尔大气田是迄今为止在埃及海域发现的最大天然气田。 直接的结果是，自今年9月份以来，这个阿拉伯世界人口最多的国家已经能够停止液化天然气(LNG)的进口。去年，埃及每月LNG进口耗资2.2亿美元（8.08亿迪拉姆）。 李峻 编译自 海湾新闻 原文如下： Undersea gas fires Egypt’s regional energy dreams Egypt is looking to use its vast, newly tapped undersea gas reserves to establish itself as a key energy exporter and revive its flagging economy. Encouraged by the discovery of huge natural gasfields in the Mediterranean, Cairo has in recent months signed gas deals with neighbouring Israel as well as Cyprus and Greece. Former oil minister Osama Kamal said Egypt has a “plan to become a regional energy hub”. In the past year, gas has started flowing from four major fields off Egypt’s Mediterranean coast, including the vast Zohr field, inaugurated with great ceremony by President Abdul Fattah Al Sissi. Discovered in 2015 by Italian energy giant Eni, Zohr is the biggest gasfield so far found in Egyptian waters. The immediate upshot has been that since September, the Arab world’s most populous country has been able to halt imports of liquefied natural gas (LNG), which last year cost it some $220 million (Dh808 million) per month.
