中国石化新闻网讯 据油价网8月21日报道， 美国Apache公司计划明年在埃及的能源产业投资14亿美元，该公司是该北非国家最大的投资者和最大的石油生产商之一。
这项投资计划是在周日举行的会议上公布的，埃及政府在当地和阿拉伯媒体上发表了一份声明。
尽管全球经济放缓，埃及表达了希望Apache扩大其在该国的石油和天然气勘探活动和投资的愿望。
Apache则承诺加深与埃及的合作伙伴关系，并讨论了提高其在该国的石油产量的问题。
Apache最近通过升级设施成功将其石油产量提高了10％，达到每日超过15万桶。
Apache在埃及开展业务已经超过27年，是该国最大的美国投资者和最大的石油生产商之一。Apache的主要兴趣在西部沙漠，涵盖了新的和传统的采区及有高影响力的勘探目标。
Apache表示，到2022年底，该公司在六个独立的特许权中拥有530万亩未开垦地。公司在埃及的未开发地亩数中有68％尚未开发，为未来提供了相当多的勘探和开发机会。埃及的运营业务，包括三分之一的非完全控制权益，在2022年的产量中贡献了37%，预估被证实储量占21%。

U.S. Oil Firm Apache Plans To Invest $1.4 Billion In Egypt
Apache Corporation plans to invest next year $1.4 billion in Egypt’s energy industry, where the U.S. firm is one of the biggest investors and the largest oil producer in the North African country.
Egypt expressed hopes that Apache would expand its oil and gas exploration activities and investments in the country despite the global economic slowdown.
Apache, for its part, committed to deepening its partnership with Egypt and discussed raising its oil production in the country, the cabinet said.
Thanks to upgrades, Apache has recently managed to increase its oil production by 10% to more than 150,000 barrels per day (bpd), Christmann told Egyptian officials, according to the statement from the government.
Apache has operated in Egypt for more than 27 years and says it is one of the largest American investors and the largest oil producer in the country. Apache’s primary interests are in the Western Desert with high-impact exploration targets in both new and legacy acreage.
As of the end of 2022, the company held 5.3 million gross acres in six separate concessions. Some 68% of the company’s gross acreage in Egypt is undeveloped, providing considerable exploration and development opportunities for the future, Apache says. The operations in Egypt, including a one-third non-controlling interest, contributed 37% of 2022 production and 21% of year-end estimated proved reserves.
