BP将亚马逊三角洲区块运营权移交巴国油

    中国石化新闻网讯 据石油世界期刊10月28日伦敦报道，英国石油公司（BP）10月26日证实，该公司已将位于亚马逊三角洲的一个环境敏感勘探区块的运营权移交给巴西国有石油公司巴西国家石油公司（Petrobras）。

    在上周获得巴西国家石油、天然气和生物燃料机构(ANP)的批准后，巴西国家石油公司将接管Foz do 亚马逊盆地FZA-M-59区块的运营。

    此前，法国石油巨头道达尔(Total)上月放弃了亚马逊三角洲巴西近海五个勘探区块的运营股权，该公司在该地区的钻探一直难以获得环境许可。

    道达尔和英国石油在2013年与巴西国家石油公司组成财团，赢得了这些区块。 道达尔作为FZA-M-57，FZA-M-86，FZA-M-88，FZA-M-125和FZA-M-127区块的运营商拥有40%的权益，而BP和Petrobras分别拥有30％的权益。

    道达尔此举的背景是，随着公众对气候变化的担忧加剧，欧洲石油巨头对新的石油勘探越来越敏感。英国石油上月承诺，作为其向清洁能源转型的一部分，不会在新的国家进行新的石油勘探。该公司还将其在普拉德霍湾和其他阿拉斯加油田的股份出售给了Hilcorp。

    Petrobas to become operator of BP sensitive block in the Amazon delta

    BP has handed over operatorship of an environmentally-sensitive exploration block offshore Brazil in the Amazon Delta to state-run oil company Petrobras, BP confirmed Oct 26.

    Petrobras will take over the operation of the FZA-M-59 block in the Foz do Amazonas Basin, after approval by Brazil's National Agency for Oil, Gas and Biofuels (ANP) last week.

    The move comes after French major Total last month dropped operating stakes in five exploration blocks offshore Brazil in the Amazon Delta, where the oil company has had trouble obtaining environmental permits to drill in the region.

    Total and BP won the blocks in 2013 as part of a consortium with Petrobras. Total operated the blocks FZA-M-57, FZA-M-86, FZA-M-88, FZA-M-125 and FZA-M-127 with a 40% stake while BP and Petrobras each hold a 30% interest.

    Total's move comes against the backdrop rising sensitivity by European oil majors over new oil exploration as pubic concern over climate change mounts. BP last month pledged to undertake no new oil exploration in new countries as part of its transition to cleaner energy. It also sold its stake in Prudhoe Bay and other Alaskan oilfields to Hilcorp.
