中国石化新闻网讯 据离岸工程12月20日报道，BP和雪佛龙将投资1.165亿澳元(合8011万美元)用于新的油气勘探活动，其中大部分计划用于南澳大利亚项目。 北澳大利亚资源部长马特·卡纳万（Matt Canavan）表示：“英国石油公司和雪佛龙公司分别于2017年和2018年停止了在大澳大利亚湾的勘探计划。澳大利亚的海上石油和天然气政策可确保致力于勘探计划的公司根据政府的良好信誉协议政策履行这一承诺。 Canavan补充道，如果未履行承诺，公司会被激励在澳大利亚境内重新定向勘探投资。该政策维持了澳大利亚的勘探投资管道，并支持新的石油发现以及未来的能源安全。 南澳大利亚能源和矿业部长丹·范·霍尔斯特·佩莱卡恩表示，对南澳大利亚州的资源部门来说，好消息是，根据良好信誉协议，将向我们州投资近6,000万澳元（合4,120万美元）。这项投资将有助于挖掘南澳大利亚资源部门的巨大前景，推动在南澳大利亚创造就业、投资和特许权使用费。 两家公司目前有三年时间完成承诺的投资，英国石油和雪佛龙将分别于2022年10月和9月投资4060万澳元(合2790万美元)和7590万澳元(合5210万美元)。这两家公司都在完成与第三方支持者进行广泛区域研究的合同谈判。 郝芬 译自 离岸工程 原文如下: BP and Chevron to fund oil and gas exploration in South Australia BP and Chevron are set to make an investment of A$116.5m ($80.11m) towards new oil and gas exploration activities, with majority of the amount planned for South Australian projects. Northern Australia Minister for Resources Matt Canavan said: “BP and Chevron ceased their programmes of exploration in the Great Australian Bight in 2017 and 2018 respectively. “Australia’s offshore oil and gas policy ensures that companies which commit to a programme of exploration deliver on that commitment under the Government’s Good Standing Agreement policy.” Canavan added that companies are motivated to re-direct exploration investment within Australia in cases where commitments are not met. This policy maintains the exploration investment pipeline in Australia and supports new petroleum discoveries as well as future energy security. South Australia Minister for Energy and Mining Dan van Holst Pellekaan said: “It is excellent news for the South Australian resources sector that almost $60m ($41.2m) will be invested in our state as a result of the Good Standing Agreement. “This investment will help tap the immense promise of South Australia’s resources sector driving job creation, investment and royalties in South Australia.” The companies currently have three years to deliver on their committed investments, with BP set to invest A$40.6m ($27.9m) and Chevron investing A$75.9m ($52.1m) by October and September 2022, respectively. Both companies are in the process of finalising contractual negotiations for a wide range of regional studies with third party supporters. |
