道达尔与PTTEP联合开发阿曼非伴生天然气项目

中国石化新闻网讯 据2月20日Energy Voice报道，道达尔和泰国PTT勘探与生产公司(PTTEP)已签署协议，将在阿曼第12区块勘探和开发非伴生天然气。

阿曼石油和天然气部(MOG)表示，该区块面积为9546平方公里。道达尔勘探开发公司将持有80%的股份，PTTEP将持有剩余20%的股份。

阿曼石油和天然气部长Mohammed Al Rumhy与位于阿曼中部区块的合资企业签署了新的勘探和生产共享协议(EPSA)。

道达尔和阿曼于2019年4月就12号区块签署了一份框架协议(HoA)。当时，道达尔表示，该区块重要的潜在天然气资源。自HoA签署以来，随着PTTEP的加入，道达尔的持股比例从100%开始下降。

道达尔表示，该区块位于大巴里克地区(Greater Barik area)以南，在10号和11号区块有“重大发现”——这家法国公司于2018年5月与壳牌公司签署了一份关于大巴里克综合天然气项目的谅解备忘录(MoU)。

自该项目于1996年启动以来，道达尔一直是阿曼液化天然气的股东，并于2000年首次投产。大巴里克协议还包括建设和运营一个液化天然气工厂的计划，为船舶提供燃料补给服务。

Total, PTTEP sign up Omani gas block

Total and Thailand’s PTT Exploration and Production (PTTEP) have signed up to explore and develop non-associated gas in Oman’s Block 12.

The Omani Ministry of Oil and Gas (MOG) said the block covered 9,546 square km. Total E&P will operate the block with an 80% stake and PTTEP will hold the remaining 20%.

Omani Minister of Oil and Gas Mohammed Al Rumhy signed the new exploration and production sharing agreement (EPSA) with the joint venture on the central Oman block.

Total and Oman signed a heads of agreement (HoA) on Block 12 in April 2019. At the time, the company said this held “significant prospective gas resources”. Since the signing of the HoA, Total’s stake was reduced from 100%, with the introduction of PTTEP.

Total said the block was south of the Greater Barik area, where “significant discoveries” have been made in Blocks 10 and 11. The French company signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) on an integrated gas project on Greater Barik in May 2018, with Shell.

Total has been a shareholder in Oman LNG since the project began, in 1996, with first production in 2000. The agreement on Greater Barik also involved plans for the construction and operation of an LNG plant, to provide bunkering services to marine vessels.
