中国石化新闻网讯 据今日油价网站10月4日消息 据当地媒体报道,阿拉伯联合酋长国(UAE)正在结束对巴基斯坦原油精炼项目投资50亿美元的谈判,该设施可能在今年年底前开工建设。 国际新闻报援引UAE驻巴基斯坦大使Hamad Obaid Ibrahim Salem Al-Zaabi的话报道称:“这将是阿布扎比穆巴达拉石油公司、帕克阿拉伯炼油有限公司(PARCO)和OMV(OMV巴基斯坦勘探技术公司)的50亿美元投资。” 消息传出一天后,未透露姓名的消息人士告诉彭博社,UAE国有石油公司ADNOC正在寻找该公司天然气分销网络中少数股权的买家,这部分股权价值约50亿美元。 巴基斯坦炼油厂建设的谈判已经进行了一段时间。去年,投资规模估计为40亿美元,将通过美国投资公司穆巴达拉投资。目前,双方正在对协议进行最后的润色。 巴基斯坦是能源需求以每年8%的速度增长最快的国家之一,国内生产远远不能满足需求。作为改变能源供需现状努力的一部分,巴基斯坦政府正在尽最大努力使巴基斯坦成为一个对投资者更为友好的国家。 这些努力包括开拓当地的油气勘探区块,尽管到目前为止,结果还不是特别乐观。今年早些时候,埃克森美孚公司和埃尼在阿拉伯海未能完成商业性的石油或天然气交易后,就退出了勘探项目。 尽管如此,人们仍然希望,该国很快将能够减少对进口的依赖,其传统的天然气储量为20万亿立方英尺,页岩气储量超过100万亿立方英尺。这无疑使该国成为一个有吸引力的天然气钻探目的地,只要安全形势稳定,但现在不是这样,因为克什米尔与邻国印度的紧张关系加剧。 原文如下: UAE To Pour $5 Billion Into Pakistani Refinery The United Arab Emirates is finalizing talks on a $5-billion investment in a crude oil refinery project in Pakistan, local media report, with the construction of the facility likely to begin before this year’s end. “It is going to be a $5 billion investment between Mubadala Petroleum Company of Abu Dhabi, Pak Arab Refinery Limited (PARCO) and OMV [OMV Pakistan Exploration Gesellschaft],” the Ambassador of the UAE to Pakistan, Hamad Obaid Ibrahim Salem Al-Zaabi, said as quoted by The News International. The news breaks a day after unnamed sources told Bloomberg that the UAE’s state oil company, Adnoc, was looking for buyers of a minority stake in the company’s natural gas distribution network. The stake was valued at around $5 billion. The negotiations for the construction of a refinery in Pakistan have been ongoing for some time. Last year, the size of the investment was estimated at $4 billion, to be made through Emirati investment vehicle Mubadala. At the moment, the two sides are putting the finishing touches on the agreement. Pakistan is one of the countries with the fastest-growing energy demand—rising at an annual rate of 8 percent—and far from enough domestic production to satisfy it. The government was doing its best to make Pakistan a more investor-friendly country as part of efforts to change the status quo in energy supply and demand. These efforts include opening up local oil and gas blocks for exploration, although so far, the results have not been particularly optimistic. Earlier this year, Exxon and Eni pulled the plug on an exploration project in the Arabian Sea after they failed to strike commercial amounts of oil or gas. Still, hopes run high that the country would soon enough be able to reduce its dependence on imports with its estimated conventional gas reserves of 20 trillion cu ft and shale gas reserves exceeding 100 trillion cu ft. This certainly makes the country an attractive destination for gas drillers as long as the security situation is stable, which right now it isn’t, amid heightened Kashmir tensions with neighbour India.
