周一，印度尼西亚能源部发布消息称：去年招标的8个油气区块中，没有一个成功赢得中标者。
当地报纸Jakarta Post报道称：竞标公司有四个月的时间投标。印度尼西亚政府把承包商的利润收益比重从15%（石油）和30%（天然气）提升到35%（石油）和40%（天然气），这表明投标者数量很少。
虽然有两家公司有意向投标Oti区块和Kasuri区块，但是他们的报价低于最低要求。政府官员认为低油价是导致投标者数量少的原因。今年，这些区块将会和另外11个区块一起进行拍卖。政府将会提出公开招标计划，而潜在投资者可以提出他们自己的可行收益分成。石油圈原创www.oilsns.com

Indonesia’s energy ministry on Monday said none of the eight oil and gas blocks put up for tender last year has attracted a winning bidder.
According to Jakarta Post, a local newspaper, companies were given a lengthy four-month deadline to register an offer. The lack of bids was emphasized by the fact that the government increased the revenue proportion for contractors by 35 percent for oil and by 40 percent from gas, from 15 and 30 percent, respectively, the newspaper said.
Although two companies expressed interest for two blocks namely Oti block and Kasuri II block, their offers were below the minimum amount required. A similar situation was witnessed in 2014 as well when 10 out of 21 oil and gas blocks put up for auction failed to find new contractors, Jakarta Post added.
Officials have cited low oil prices as the reason for lack of interest. The blocks that failed to illicit interest will be put up for auction again this year along with 11 other blocks. This year, the government will offer open bid split schemes in which potential investors can propose their own economically feasible revenue split, conducive to their current situation.
Indonesia has been struggling to maintain domestic oil and gas production from ageing fields amid rising local demand. Many experts believed the country will become a gas importer by the end of this decade from being an exporter.

France’s Total has made a €950mn friendly takeover offer for Paris-based Saft, a world leader in advanced battery technologies. The move fits in with Total’s strategy to expand in electricity trading and energy storage.
“The combination of Saft and Total will enable Saft to become the Group’s spearhead in electricity storage”, said Patrick Pouyanne, Total’s Chairman and CEO.
At €36.50 per share represents a 38.3% premium to Saft’s closing share price of €26.40 on May 6, 2016. Saft’s supervisory board, which unanimously approved the proposed deal, has appointed Finexsi as an independent expert.
On April 20 Total announced that it was recreating a Gas, Renewables and Power segment -- under a revamped corporate organisation to take effect from September 1 -- which it said would “will spearhead Total’s ambitions in the electricity value chain.”
Saft is a leading manufacturer of nickel batteries and primary lithium batteries for the industrial through to military electronics markets.
Kosmos Energy (NYSE: KOS) announced today that its Teranga-1 exploration well offshore Senegal has made a significant gas discovery.
Located in the Cayar Offshore Profond block approximately 65 kilometers northwest of Dakar in nearly 1,800 meters of water, the Teranga-1 well was drilled to a total depth of 4,485 meters. The well encountered 31 meters (102 feet) of net gas pay in good quality reservoir in the Lower Cenomanian objective. Well results confirm that a prolific inboard gas fairway extends approximately 200 kilometers from the Marsouin-1 well in Mauritania through the Greater Tortue area on the maritime boundary to the Teranga-1 well in Senegal. Kosmos has now drilled five consecutive successful exploration and appraisal wells in this fairway with a 100 percent success rate. In the process, the company has discovered a gross Pmean resource of approximately 25 Tcf and estimates the fairway may hold more than 50 Tcf of resource potential.
Andrew G. Inglis, chairman and chief executive officer, said: 'Our continuing exploration success demonstrates we have opened a super-major scale basin offshore Mauritania and Senegal with world-class resource potential. Given the scale and quality of the gas resource discovered along the inboard trend, our focus is to move this resource through to development. Our forward exploration plan is to mature the two independent tests with oil potential in northern Mauritania and in the outboard of Mauritania and Senegal for drilling in 2017.'

BEIJING, May 5 (Reuters) -- An engineering unit of China National Petroleum Corp. (CNPC) won a $620-million contract to build an oil refinery in Cambodia, China's official Xinhua News Agency reported on Thursday.
Northeast Refining and Chemical Engineering Co.(CNPCNE) is scheduled to complete building the first phase of the project of 2 MMtpy, or about 40,000 bpd by 2018, Xinhua said.
This will be Cambodia's first oil refinery and will help cut its reliance on fuel imports, Xinhua said.
The refinery, located in Cambodia's southwestern Preah Sihanouk province, will be further expanded to 100,000 bpd at a total cost of $3 billion, Xinhua quoted Hann Khieng, the managing director of the Cambodian Petrochemical Co. (CPC), as saying.
The plant is jointly owned by CPC and the Chinese firm Sinomach China Perfect Machinery Industry Corp.

After making a $21-million wire payment to a fraudulent company account claiming to be that of Saudi Aramco, South Korea’s largest petrochemical company, LG Chem, is now seeking a full investigation and state assistance to recover its loss.
The $21-million payment was destined for Saudi Aramco, which is LG Chem’s supplier in Saudi Arabia of naphtha, the refined oil product used to make plastics and other petrochemical items. The payment was for supplies received in the second half of March.
"We have requested an investigation by prosecutors," said Song Choong-seop, a spokesman for LG Chem.
According to the South Korean company, it had received an email seemingly sent by Saudi Aramco Products Trading in which it was notified about a bank account change. The sender was aware of the amount of money which LG Chen owed its supplier and asked for the sum to be wired into the new account.
But the South Korean company said it may also consider taking legal action against the Saudi supplier if it turns out the latter failed to protect its email accounts.
Aramco declined to comment on this incident or on LG Chem’s possible legal steps against it.
In October 2015, Saudi Aramco said that fraudsters had targeted its trading unit, pretending to work for India’s state-run Oil and Natural Gas Corp. (ONGC). The attempt was apparently thwarted before any real damage was done.
However, Indian reports tell a different story. They claim that Saudi Aramco had been actually duped into making a payment equivalent to US$30 million into a fake bank account that it thought was ONGC’s. The payment was for the same supply as in this case, naphtha, which had been bought from ONGC.

MOSCOW — 周日，伊朗石油部长Bijan Namdar Zangeneh 表示：伊朗不会接受任何关于石油冻产的计划。
Zangeneh称：我曾和沙特石油部长在4月份的多哈会议上讨论过这件事，因为沙特希望把伊朗的石油产量降至2016年初的生产水平。而我对他说“你在开玩笑吧！”。
伊朗在和世界强国达成协议后获取了恢复石油产量的机会。根据协议规定，如果伊朗能保证核活动的安全性，对伊朗的制裁将会取消。石油圈原创www.oilsns.com
由于原油供应过剩，油价下跌，因此OPEC国家作出冻产决定。二月，沙特阿拉伯、卡塔尔、委内瑞拉、俄罗斯能源部长在多哈召开会议讨论石油市场行情，并同意将石油产量维持在一月份水平。4月中旬，OPEC在多哈举行会议，然而却未能达成冻产协议。虽然，伊朗刚刚摆脱制裁、重返能源市场并致力于提升石油产量，但是沙特阿拉伯却坚持要求伊朗加入冻产协议。

MOSCOW (Sputnik) — Tehran will not accept any plan entailing freezing of oil production, Iranian Oil Minister Bijan Namdar Zangeneh said Sunday.
"I even had discussions with Saudi oil minister at that meeting [in Doha, Qatar, in April] because they wanted us to lower oil production in our country to the levels of early 2016. I said to him, ‘You have got to be kidding!,’" Zangeneh said, as quoted by the IRINN television channel.
Iran got the opportunity to resume oil trade since it reached an agreement with leading world powers, according to which it pledged to guarantee the peaceful nature of its nuclear activities in exchange for the sanctions against it being lifted.
The decision came amid a global oil price slump due to oversupplies of crude. In February, the energy ministers of Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Venezuela and Russia addressed the oil market situation in Doha and agreed to freeze oil production at January levels if other countries followed suit.
At the latest Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC) meeting in Doha in mid-April, the sides failed to agree on freezing crude oil output levels at January levels to shore up prices after Riyadh had unexpectedly backed out of an all-but-certain agreement. Saudi Arabia continues to insist that Iran, which only recently reappeared in the energy market after years of international sanctions and has been boosting its oil sales, should be part of any production cuts.

印度尼西亚上游领域油气监管机构SKK Migas称：从1月份到4月份，SKK Migas已经批准18项油气工程的开发计划。石油圈原创www.oilsns.com
周日，SKK Migas公共关系部主任表示：这些工程的预计总投资额达14.96亿美元,预计会在2016年至2020年之间开工，其中共有16个油田位于西部地区，而余下2个油田则位于东部地区。
SKK Migas称：这18项工程预计产量达4500万桶石油和2710亿立方英尺天然气。
由于部分油田资源枯竭、产量下降，印度尼西亚油气产量持续下降。今年年初，印度尼西亚最大LNG工厂Badak LNG称今年LNG产量可能会降至152货船，而去年的LNG产量为182货船。
许多政府官员认为，由于国内需求不断上涨，印度尼西亚最早将从2019年开始进口LNG。

Indonesia's upstream oil and gas regulator, SKK Migas said it approved development plans for 18 oil and gas projects from January to April.
Total investment is estimated at $1.496 billion or around Rp19.5 trillion, SKK Migas’ head of public relation said Sunday.
The projects are expected to start between 2016 and 2020. A total of 16 fields are located in western region while the remaining two are in the east.
According to the regulator these 18 project are expected to produce 45 million barrels of oil and 271 billion cubic feet of natural gas.
Indonesia is witnessing continuous decline in oil and gas production due to slide in output from depleting fields. Earlier this year, Badak LNG, one of country’s biggest LNG plants, said output is expected to be 152 LNG cargoes this year, down from 182 cargoes last year.
Many government officials believe the nation may begin importing LNG as early as 2019 as domestic demand continues to expand.

ALGIERS May 8 Algerian state energy company Sonatrach has awarded U.S. oil service firms Schlumberger and Weatherford contracts for cementing and pumping services, a Sonatrach document said.
Schlumberger was awarded a $75 million contract, and Weatherford a $11 million contract, according to the document seen by Reuters.
Baker Hughes has also secured a $50 million contract through its Algerian unit BJSP, in which Sonatrach owns 51 percent. The fourth contract worth $44 million has been awarded to the Emirati firm NPS.
OPEC member Algeria has been trying to attract foreign oil companies to explore for oil to offset stagnant production.
Saudi Arabia will probably keep producing crude at near-record levels under its newly appointed oil minister, Khalid Al-Falih, as the world’s largest exporter sticks with his predecessor’s policy of defending market share against higher-cost shale.
Al-Falih, also chairman of the state producer Saudi Arabian Oil Co., said on his first day in office on Sunday that he will maintain the kingdom’s oil policy. His predecessor, Ali al-Naimi, had been leading a policy prioritizing sales over prices since 2014, driving some higher-cost producers, including U.S. shale drillers, off the market. In so doing, Saudi Arabia boosted output, adding to a supply glut. The strategy is showing signs of succeeding this year, with prices gaining more than 60 percent since tumbling to a 12-year low in January.
Saudi Arabia could exceed its record output of more than 10.5 million daily barrels if it pumps more to meet a seasonal surge in domestic demand during the summer months, analysts from Emirates NBD PJSC and Qamar Energy said. The country, with the world’s second-largest oil reserves, pumped 10.27 million barrels a day in April.
“If the market considers the appointment as signaling more of the same for Saudi policy, that could allow prices to continue following their gradual trend upward,” Edward Bell, commodities analyst at Emirates NBD, said Sunday by phone from the Dubai-based bank. Continuity in Saudi policy may be offset by the immediate impact of Canadian forest fires forcing about 1 million barrels of daily crude production offline, he said.
Saudi Arabia appointed Al-Falih on Saturday to head the newly expanded Ministry of Energy, Industry and Mineral Resources. He replaces al-Naimi, a 20-year veteran in the post. Al-Falih takes over the ministry responsible for most of the nation’s income as the biggest producer and de facto leader of OPEC embarks on an economic overhaul designed to make it less reliant on petroleum.
