據管道新聞網8月11日消息稱，津巴布韋新聞部長周三表示，津巴布韋已與總部位于英國的Coven Energy簽署了一項價值13億美元的合資協議，以開發一條從莫桑比克港口城市貝拉到首都哈拉雷的燃料管道。

　　Monica Mutsvangwa 表示，這條管道將補充現有的一條管道，這條管道也連接哈拉雷和貝拉，使內陸的津巴布韋成為南部非洲地區的燃料中心。

　　Mutsvangwa在內閣會議后的簡報會上說：“這條管道將在4年內建成，預計成本為13億美元。這一合作關系將持續30年。”

　　Mutsvangwa表示，未上市的Coven Energy將與國有的國家石油和基礎設施公司組建一家各占一半股權的合資公司。

　　由于長期外匯短缺，津巴布韋一直在努力解決嚴重的燃料短缺問題，但在政府允許公司以美元出售貨物后，最近幾個月供應有所改善。

　　Zimbabwe Agrees to $1.3 billion Joint Venture Fuel Pipeline with British Firm

　　Zimbabwe has signed a $1.3 billion joint venture agreement with British-based Coven Energy to develop a fuel pipeline from the Mozambican port city of Beira to the capital city Harare, the minister of information said on Wednesday.

　　Monica Mutsvangwa said the pipeline would complement the existing one that also links Harare and Beira and make landlocked Zimbabwe a fuel hub for the southern Africa region.

　　"The pipeline will be built over four years at an estimated cost of $1.3 billion. The partnership will be for a period of 30 years," Mutsvangwa said during a post-Cabinet briefing.

　　Unlisted Coven Energy will form a 50-50 joint venture company with state-owned National Oil and Infrastructure Company, Mutsvangwa said.

　　Zimbabwe has struggled with acute shortages of fuel due to perennial shortages of foreign exchange but supplies have improved in recent months after the government allowed companies to sell the commodity in U.S. dollars.
