中国石化新闻网讯 据彭博社5月21日消息称，南非石油部长表示，欢迎南非战略燃料基金(Strategic Fuel Fund)引入合作伙伴，帮助其执行一项10亿美元的协议，在南苏丹开采石油，并修建一座炼油厂和输油管道。 Ezekiel Gatkuoth表示，根据双方政府于5月6日签署的协议，战略燃料基金与尼罗河石油公司共同持有B2区块项目90％股权，南苏丹国家石油公司持有其余部分。他说，该项目预计将在6年内投产，包括在帕加克建造一座日产6万桶的炼油厂。 南苏丹部长表示，“他们有空间”引进合作伙伴。他补充称，南苏丹政府有权批准任何合作伙伴，而且交易将缴纳资本利得税。 这一伙伴关系应该有利于南苏丹，因为该国的石油产量是内战前的一半，同时确保南非的能源供应，因为南非本身的石油产量很少，所以南非向其炼油厂进口原油。Gatkuoth承认该项目可能耗资超过10亿美元。SSF没有立即回复评论请求。 除了将新的合作伙伴引入其油田，南苏丹还试图使其石油出口路线多样化。 Gatkuoth表示，目前，该国通过苏丹出口石油，每桶成本为24美元，但目前正考虑向乌干达支付一笔费用，以便在新建管道时将原油南下运送到坦桑尼亚的一个港口。通过埃塞俄比亚出口也是一个选择。 B2区块曾经是道达尔公司在1985年之前持有的区块的一部分，这块面积相当于宾夕法尼亚州的大小。 曹海斌 摘译自 彭博社 原文如下： South Africa May Find Partners for South Sudan Oil Block South Africa’s Strategic Fuel Fund is welcome to bring in partners to help it execute a $1 billion agreement to drill for oil and build a refinery and pipeline in South Sudan, the central African nation’s oil minister said. Under the agreement, signed between the two governments on May 6, the Strategic Fuel Fund holds 90% of the project in B2 block with the Nile Petroleum Corp., South Sudan’s national oil company, owning the rest, Ezekiel Gatkuoth said in an interview at Bloomberg’s office in Johannesburg after earlier meeting his South African counterpart. The project, which Gatkuoth expects to reach production in about six years, includes the construction of a 60,000 barrel per day oil refinery in Pagak, he said. “They have room to farm in” a partner, the South Sudanese minister said, adding that his government has the right to approve any partners and that a transaction would be subject to capital gains tax. The partnership should benefit South Sudan by boosting production in a nation where output is half of what it was before a civil war, while securing energy supplies for South Africa, which imports crude for its refineries as it has little oil production of its own. Gatkuoth acknowledged that the project is likely to cost more than $1 billion. The SSF didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. In addition to bringing new partners into its oil fields, South Sudan is trying to diversify export routes for its oil. Currently it exports oil through Sudan at a cost of $24 a barrel, but it’s now considering paying Uganda a fee to transport crude south to a port in Tanzania when new pipelines are built, Gatkuoth said. Exports through Ethiopia could also be an option. The B2 block was once part of an area held by Total SA until 1985 that was the size of Pennsylvania.
