中国石化新闻网讯 据World Oil网约翰内斯堡5月29日消息 在道达尔公司的一项重大发现推动该国油气勘探前景的几个月后，荷兰皇家壳牌有限公司计划在南非相对未开发的水域获得第二笔交易中的石油股份。 据南非石油局称，壳牌已申请持有位于南非西海岸深水区的OK Energy所拥有的许可证。“我们确实收到了一份等待部长级批准的申请，”监管机构在回答有关该区块的问题时表示。 该英荷合资的石油巨头两年前退出了奥兰治盆地的开采许可，理由是长期的低价环境。在南非资源法不确定时，也曾抱怨道。而该国最近承诺起草单独的石油和天然气立法。 如果OK Energy的许可交易获得通过，该公司将从阿纳达科石油公司手中收购开普敦附近大西洋深水区块5、6和7 40%的权益。 2月，道达尔在阿纳达科地块以东估计发现了1亿桶油的油当量。阿纳达科地块是大洋交汇的地方，位于南极洲的最南端。行业游说团体南非石油天然气联盟称，南非的首个深水油田发现对该国具有“催化作用”。 除了壳牌感兴趣的区块外，小型石油和天然气公司OK Energy也持有Equinor ASA在南非东海岸的另一个区域的10％股权。 吴慧丹 摘译自 World Oil 原文如下： Shell continues South African oil expansion with second deal Months after a major discovery by Total SA boosted the country’s hydrocarbon prospects, Royal Dutch Shell Plc is planning to acquire an oil-block stake in a second deal in South Africa’s relatively unexplored waters. Shell has applied to take a stake in a license owned by OK Energy, located in deepwaters off South Africa’s west coast, according to Petroleum Agency South Africa. “We have indeed received an application which is awaiting ministerial approval,” the regulator said in a reply to questions about the block. The Anglo-Dutch major exited its Orange Basin permit two years ago, citing an enduring low-price environment. It also complained at the time of uncertainty over resource laws in South Africa. The country recently pledged to draft separate legislation for oil and gas. Shell declined to comment. Should the deal for OK Energy’s license go through, it would add to the company’s acquisition of a 40% interest in deepwater blocks 5, 6 and 7 in the Atlantic off Cape Town from Anadarko Petroleum Corp. In February, Total discovered an estimated 1 Bboe east of Anadarko’s blocks, where the oceans meet at the tip of the continent. South Africa’s first deepwater find was described as “catalytic” for the country by South African Oil & Gas Alliance, an industry lobby group. Besides the block Shell is interested in, OK Energy, a small oil and gas company, also holds a 10% stake in another area with Equinor ASA off South Africa’s east coast.
