近日,印度石油天然气公司(ONGC)董事长Dinesh K. Sarraf在15-16年的年报中对外表示,其将联合印度石油公司(Oil India)投资1.23亿美元用于开发印度波卡罗区块(Bokaro)的煤层气。
据悉,印度石油天然气公司在波卡罗区块拥有80%的权益,将为该项目投资约1.23亿美元,剩余投资资金来源于印度石油公司(Oil India)。该项目的煤层气产量在未来20年内的预期可达40亿立方米,并可实现日产90万方的峰值。
ONGC的15-16年公司年报还指出,由于印度目前的煤层气开发的政策框架尚不明确,故前期的煤层气产量较少。
在本周早些时候,有业内人士表示,鉴于在当前印度国内的煤层气开发政策环境下,煤层气的预期产量目标难以达成,因此有必要为煤层气开发制定新的相应配套政策。为此,印度议会已于上周四向下议院提交了有关制定新政策的报告。(Offshore Energy Today.com)

The British Government and the Government of Argentina have agreed to work towards removing restrictive measures around the South Atlantic and Falkland Islands oil and gas industries. “The UK and Argentina are building a positive relationship based on areas where we so clearly agree,” said UK Foreign and Commonwealth Office Minister Alan Duncan.“The South Atlantic dialogue will seek to build cooperation in areas of mutual interest. Of course this will not include the issue of sovereignty. The UK continues to strongly support the rights of the Falkland Islanders and our position on sovereignty has not changed - there can be no dialogue on this unless the Falkland Islanders so wish,” he added.“It’s clear to me that Argentina is open for business. The measures agreed today demonstrate we can make progress through dialogue,” Duncan continued.

Indonesian energy company Medco is reportedly on the verge of acquiring ConocoPhillips’ stake in the Natuna Sea offshore block in Indonesia. ConocoPhillips operates the offshore South Natuna Sea Block B with a 40 percent stake. The area has three producing oil fields and 16 natural gas fields in various stages of development.
To remind, ConocoPhillips has been working on asset sales, primarily deepwater fields in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico, but it also mentioned Indonesia in one of its previous quarterly reports. The company is working to achieve a goal of $1 billion of proceeds from asset sales in 2016, aiming to use the obtained cash to service debt.
As for the soon to be sold offshore block in Indonesia, natural gas production from it is sold under international sales agreements to Malaysia and Singapore, and liquefied petroleum gas is sold locally for domestic consumption.
