中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社6月27日卢萨卡报道,泛非石油公司奥兰托石油公司(Oranto Petroleum)周三在卢萨卡表示,该公司在获得了两个区块以后将开始在赞比亚勘探石油,这是奥兰托石油公司在这个南部非洲国家里的首笔投资。 赞比亚不生产石油,但赞比亚政府表示,运往欧洲实验室的土壤样品已显示出良好的原油痕迹。 根据协议,奥兰托石油公司将持有这两个地块90%的股份,并将被要求在两年内进行地质和地球物理研究。 奥兰托石油公司在一份声明中表示:“奥兰托石油公司将致力于一项积极的工作计划,以提高世界上最后真正前沿市场之一的赞比亚的前瞻性水平。” 由于赞比亚努力实现本国经济多元化以及减少其对工业金属的依赖,英国图洛石油公司去年开始在非洲第2大铜生产国赞比亚勘探石油和天然气。 赞比亚70%以上的外汇收入来自铜矿开采,但卢萨卡一直试图进入其他大宗商品使自己免受价格冲击。 李峻 编译自 路透社 原文如下: Pan-African Firm Oranto Petroleum To Explore For Oil In Zambia Pan-African firm Oranto Petroleum said on Wednesday it would start exploring for oil in Zambia after it was awarded two blocks, its first investment in the southern African nation. Zambia does not produce oil, but the government says soil samples sent to European laboratories have shown good traces of crude. Under the agreement, Oranto will hold a 90 percent stake in the two blocks and will be required to conduct geological and geophysical studies over two years. "Oranto Petroleum is committed to an aggressive work programme to increase the levels of prospectivity in one of the world's last true frontier markets," it said in a statement. British company Tullow Oil last year started exploring for oil and gas in Zambia, Africa's No.2 copper producer, as the country pushes to diversify its economy and reduce its reliance on the industrial metal. Copper mining earns Zambia more than 70 percent of its foreign exchange but Lusaka has been trying to move into other commodities to insulate itself from price shocks.
