BP表示无削减阿塞拜疆油气业务计划

    中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社8月13日巴库报道，BP负责阿塞拜疆、格鲁吉亚和土耳其事务的副总裁Bakhtiyar Aslanbayli表示，在全球计划重新平衡其投资组合向可再生能源转变的情况下，英国石油巨头BP没有削减其在阿塞拜疆油气业务的计划。

    了解BP想法的消息人士上周向路透社表示，尽管原油价格在疫情冲击后反弹，但由于希望在可再生能源方面加大投资，该公司正准备出售其大部分油气资产。

    Aslanbayli对路透表示:“在阿塞拜疆，我们有责任勘探和开发该国的主要油气资源，我们将继续履行这一责任，这对我们非常重要。”

    他表示，BP的新战略确实设想减少石油和天然气在其投资组合中的份额。

    Aslanbayli说:“正在发生变化的是，BP将不再是一家以碳氢化合物为主的公司，它将成为一家综合性能源公司，石油和天然气将是更平衡的投资组合的一部分。”

    他说，BP对东道国有具体承诺，石油和天然气将继续是其核心。

    “该承诺的一部分是，到2030年，我们仍然希望每年在全球范围内向我们的石油和天然气业务投资约90亿美元。”Aslanbayli说。

    BP在阿塞拜疆已经工作了近30年，经营的主要项目是阿泽里-奇拉格-古奈什利油田的石油生产和沙赫德尼兹油田以及巴库-第比利斯-杰伊汉（BTC）管道和南高加索管道（SCP）的天然气开采。

    自1995年开始运营以来，它已在这些项目中投入720亿美元的资本支出。

    BP says it has no plans to scale down oil and gas in Azerbaijan

    British oil major BP has no plans to scale down its oil and gas business in Azerbaijan amid global plans to rebalance its portfolio towards renewables, Bakhtiyar Aslanbayli, BP's vice president for Azerbaijan, Georgia and Turkey, said.

    Sources familiar with BP's thinking told Reuters last week that the company was preparing to sell a large chunk of its oil and gas assets, even if crude prices bounce back from the COVID-19 crash, because it wants to invest more in renewable energy.

    "In Azerbaijan, we have a responsibility to explore and develop the country's major oil and gas resources and we remain committed to that responsibility, which is very important to us," Aslanbayli told Reuters.

    He said BP's new strategy did envisage reducing the share of oil and gas in its portfolio.

    "What is changing is that BP will no longer be predominantly a hydrocarbon company, it will be an integrated energy company - with oil and gas one part of a more balanced portfolio," Aslanbayli said.

    He said oil and gas would continue to be core to BP where it had specific commitments to the host country.

    "Part of that commitment is that in 2030, we still expect to be investing around $9 billion globally per year into our oil and gas business," Aslanbayli said.。

    BP has been working in Azerbaijan for almost three decades, operating in major projects as oil production in the Azeri-Chirag-Guneshli fields and gas from the Shah Deniz field as well as the Baku-Tbilisi-Ceyhan (BTC) pipeline and the South Caucasus Pipeline (SCP).

    It has put $72 billion of capital expenditure into these projects since operations began in 1995.
