一位石油和天然气部的高级官员告诉阿曼时代期刊阿曼政府计划在今年10月对5个石油区块招标,招标后,在产量分成的基础上中标者将获得这些分布在全国不同地区区块的开发权。
在BP公司为表彰中小企业举办的一次活动期间,石油和天然气部副部长Eng. Salim bin Nasser Al Aufi称:“有很多区块可供选择,目前我们仅对很少的区块进行了评估,将在10月份正式公布,区块数量在5个左右,多于或少于该数目均有可能,这主要取决于我们的数据收集和评估结果”。
这些区块包括了石油和天然气区块,但主要的是石油区块。
目前,阿曼国有石油开发商石油产量占该国原油总产量的68%,而剩下的32%则由国家和跨国石油公司提供,今年的平均日产原油量估计为990000桶,略高于2015年的980000桶。一二月期间日产原油量超过这一目标达到100万桶。然而,由于暴雨3月原油产量下降,但在4月份又恢复到994303桶。
阿曼政府几个主要的石油生产企业包括Occidental Oman均直接或间接持有股份。考虑到阿曼油藏的特殊性,生产原油需要大量的投资,在产量分成的基础上,政府一直鼓励跨国公司进行勘探开发。
当被问及近期油价下滑是否影响阿曼对跨国公司投资的吸引力时,Eng. Al Aufi表示:“我们必须在谈判上更聪明些,我们需要认识到企业投标时将使用较低的原油产量预测值,同时我们也要引入机制当油价上升时我们也能从协议中获得更大利益”。

Oman government plans to start tendering of around five oil blocks sometime in October this year, a senior official at the Ministry of Oil and Gas told Times of Oman.These oil and gas blocks spread in different parts of the country will be awarded, after a tending process, on production sharing basis.
“There are a number of locations. We are evaluating few of them and in October we will go to the market. I would probably say an average of five, but we (may) have more or less, depending on the readiness of data collection and evaluation,” Eng. Salim bin Nasser Al Aufi, undersecretary at the Ministry of Oil and Gas, said, on the sidelines of a function organised by BP to honour small and medium enterprises.
Although these blocks have both oil and gas deposits, these are predominantly oil blocks.
Presently, majority state-owned Petroleum Development Oman contributes 68 per cent of Oman’s total crude oil production, while the remaining 32 per cent are contributed by national and multinational oil firms.The average crude oil production target this year is estimated at 990,000 barrels per day, slightly higher than 980,000 barrels per day in 2015. The country’s average daily crude oil production in January-February period exceeded this target at one million barrels per day. However, oil production declined in March due to heavy rains, but it recovered to 994,303 barrels per day the following month.
Oman government directly or indirectly holds stake in several major oil producing firms, including Occidental Oman, in the country. As huge investment is required for bringing oil above the ground in view of the peculiar nature of reservoirs in Oman, the government has been encouraging multinational firms to undertake exploration on production sharing basis.
Asked about whether the recent slump in oil prices is affecting attractiveness of multinational firms to invest in Oman, Eng. Al Aufi said; “We have to be smart in negotiation. We need to recognise that companies will be using lower oil production forecast when they bid and to be smart enough to accept it today. Also, we have to introduce mechanisms in such a way that we gain from the deal when oil prices go up.”
