中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社卢安达报道,安哥拉国家石油公司Sonangol和埃克森美孚于上周五表示,两家公司签署了一份在纳米比亚盆地勘探石油的谅解备忘录。 作为非洲第二大原油生产国,安哥拉正面临着产量急剧下降的局面,除非它能够恢复勘探这曾是世界上最令人兴奋之一的近海石油开采。 安哥拉国家石油公司正在与石油巨头谈判新区块的合同,安哥拉计划明年举行拍卖,这是自2011年以来的首次勘探权招标。 安哥拉国家石油公司的主席Carlos Saturnino表示,该备忘录为各方开始就新的石油开采权进行合同谈判铺平了道路,这是这家国有企业加强寻找新的石油活动和发现新石油储量战略的一部分。 埃克森美孚驻安哥拉总裁Andre Kostelnik称,新的勘探领域可以看作是该国石油活动的复苏。 石油占安哥拉出口的95%,约占政府收入的70%。 詹晓晶摘自路透社 原文如下: Angola’s Sonangol, Exxon Mobil sign oil exploration agreement Angola’s state oil company Sonangol and Exxon Mobil on Friday signed a memorandum of understanding for oil exploration in the country’s Namibe basin, the two firms said. Angola, Africa’s second-largest crude producer, is facing a steep output decline unless it can revive exploration in what was once one of the world’s most exciting offshore prospects. Sonangol is negotiating contracts for new blocks with oil majors and Angola plans to hold an auction next year, the first tender for exploration rights since 2011. Sonangol’s chairman Carlos Saturnino said the memorandum paves the way for the parties to start contract negotiations for new oil concessions, part of the state firm’s strategy to strengthen the search for new oil activities and discovery of new reserves. Exxon Mobil’s director general in Angola Andre Kostelnik, said the new field of exploration can be viewed as the resurgence of oil activity in the country. Oil accounts for 95 percent of Angola’s exports and around 70 percent of government revenues.
