???? 據(jù)4月6日offshore energy消息：國有的卡塔爾石油公司已與石油巨頭殼牌公司達(dá)成協(xié)議，成為納米比亞共和國海上兩個勘探區(qū)塊的合作伙伴。

????根據(jù)該協(xié)議條款，卡塔爾石油將持有2913A和2914B區(qū)塊45%的參與權(quán)益。

????PEL 39區(qū)塊位于納米比亞近海，水深約2,500米，占地面積約12,300平方公里。

????作為運(yùn)營商，殼牌將持有45%的股份，而納米比亞國家石油公司(NAMCOR)將持有剩余10%的股份。

????值得注意的是，殼牌在2014年至2019年期間完成了3次PEL 39的地震勘探。勘測的目的是確定海床下方可能包含石油或天然氣的地質(zhì)結(jié)構(gòu)。

????這家石油巨頭在其網(wǎng)站上表示，對調(diào)查數(shù)據(jù)進(jìn)行分析之后的下一步是鉆探一口井，以確定石油或天然氣的數(shù)量是否足以進(jìn)行商業(yè)開采。

????卡塔爾石油公司總裁兼首席執(zhí)行官、能源事務(wù)大臣Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi表示:“通過在納米比亞簽署第二份勘探和生產(chǎn)共享協(xié)議，我們很高興擴(kuò)大在該國的勘探足跡，并進(jìn)一步加強(qiáng)我們在南部非洲地區(qū)的存在。"

????“與我們寶貴的長期合作伙伴殼牌共同開發(fā)這些有前景的區(qū)塊，是我們朝著實現(xiàn)國際增長戰(zhàn)略邁進(jìn)的又一步。我們期待著在這些區(qū)塊上與納米比亞政府、NAMCOR和殼牌公司合作”。

????這是卡塔爾石油公司在納米比亞獲得的第二張勘探許可證。2019年8月，卡塔爾石油公司與道達(dá)爾簽署了參與納米比亞2913B和2912海上區(qū)塊的協(xié)議。

????Qatar Petroleum teams up with Shell in deepwater blocks off Namibia

????State-owned Qatar Petroleum has entered into an agreement with oil major Shell to become a partner in two exploration blocks offshore the Republic of Namibia.

????Under the terms of the agreement, which is subject to customary approvals, Qatar Petroleum will hold a 45 per cent participating interest in the PEL 39 exploration license pertaining to Block 2913A and Block 2914B.

????The PEL 39 blocks are located offshore Namibia in ultra-deep-water depths of about 2,500 metres, covering an area of approximately 12,300 square kilometres.?

????Shell will hold a 45 interest as the operator while the National Petroleum Corporation of Namibia (NAMCOR) will hold the remaining 10 per cent interest.

????It is worth noting that Shell completed three seismic surveys of PEL 39 between 2014 and 2019. The purpose of the surveys was to identify geological structures below the seabed which might contain oil or gas.

????The oil major stated on its website that, having analysed the data from the survey, the next step was to drill a well to determine whether oil or gas is present in quantities that could be extracted commercially.

????Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, the Minister of State for Energy Affairs, the president and CEO of Qatar Petroleum, said: “With this second exploration and production sharing agreement in Namibia, we are pleased to expand our exploration footprint in the country and to further strengthen our presence in the southern Africa region.

????“Working on these promising and prospective blocks with our valued long-term partner Shell is another step in our stride towards achieving our international growth strategy. We look forward to working together with the Namibian Government, NAMCOR, and Shell on these blocks”.

????This is Qatar Petroleum’s second exploration license in Namibia. In August 2019, Qatar Petroleum entered into agreements with Total for participating in blocks 2913B and 2912 offshore Namibia.
