據油價網8月10日消息稱，據上游新聞報道，殼牌將于下周開始進行地球物理調查，以探索馬來西亞近海的潛在鉆井機會。

調查現場的工作預計將持續到9月。

據稱，殼牌將在馬來西亞沙撈越近海尋找鉆探機會，其中包括超級巨頭的MLNG、SK 439和SK 440生產分成合同。馬來西亞沙撈越石油勘探與生產公司(PSEP)是殼牌在SK 439和SK 440區塊的合作伙伴。

2022年3月，殼牌與馬來西亞國家石油公司簽署了三份產量分成合同，共同勘探沙巴和沙撈越海上的石油和天然氣，沙巴殼牌石油有限公司(SSPC)和沙撈越殼牌有限公司(SSB)負責勘探計劃。產量分成合同包括沙撈越海岸淺水區SK439/SK440區塊的勘探，以及沙巴海岸深水區SB-2W和SB-X區塊的勘探。

“我們與馬來西亞國家石油公司在馬來西亞的長期和成功的合作伙伴關系仍在繼續，因為我們共同尋求提供今天的能源，同時為明天的能源提供資金。我期待著在馬來西亞發展可持續能源產業方面進一步成功合作。”殼牌當時表示。

在簽署這些協議一年后，殼牌于2023年6月制定了計劃，以發展其天然氣業務并擴大其在上游的地位。

殼牌首席執行官Wael Sawan在6月中旬的殼牌資本市場日上說：“至關重要的是，世界要避免在我們能夠建立未來的清潔能源體系之前更快地瓦解當前的能源體系。在未來很長一段時間內，石油和天然氣將繼續在能源系統中發揮關鍵作用，而需求只會隨著時間的推移而逐漸減少。”

“繼續投資石油和天然氣對確保平衡的能源轉型至關重要。”Sawan補充說。

Shell To Explore Offshore Drilling Opportunities In Malaysia

Shell is set to begin geophysical surveys next week to explore potential drilling opportunities offshore Malaysia, Upstream reported on Thursday.

The work at the site of the survey is expected to continue through September.

Shell will be looking for drilling opportunities in the acreage offshore Sarawak which include the supermajor’s MLNG, SK 439, and SK 440 production sharing contracts, according to Upstream. Petroleum Sarawak Exploration and Production (PSEP) of Malaysia is Shell’s partner in the SK 439 and SK 440 blocks.

In March 2022, Shell signed three production-sharing contracts with Malaysia’s state energy firm Petronas, to explore oil and gas offshore Sabah and Sarawak, with Sabah Shell Petroleum Company Limited (SSPC) and Sarawak Shell Bhd (SSB) operating the exploration initiatives. The production sharing contracts include exploration of blocks SK439/SK440 in shallow water, off the coast of Sarawak and exploration of blocks SB-2W and SB-X in deep water, off the coast of Sabah.

“Our long and successful partnership with PETRonAS in Malaysia continues, as together we seek to provide the energy of today while funding the energy of tomorrow. I look forward to further successful collaboration on growing a sustainable energy industry in Malaysia,” Shell said at the time.

A year after signing these deals, Shell laid out plans in June 2023 to grow its gas business and extend its position in the upstream.

“It is critical that the world avoids dismantling the current energy system faster than we are able to build the clean energy system of the future. Oil and gas WILL continue to play a crucial role in the energy system for a long time to come with demand reducing only gradually over time,” Shell’s chief executive Wael Sawan said on Shell’s Capital Markets Day in the middle of June.

“Continued investment in oil and gas is critical to ensure a balanced energy transition,” Sawan added in the pivot to ensure today’s energy needs, similar to what BP announced earlier this year.
