据路透社10月12日科威特城报道,科威特国家石油公司(KPC)12日在科威特城宣布,该公司时下正在与壳牌公司、英国石油公司和道达尔公司谈判签署技术服务协议一事,KPC打算在今年年底前敲定这些技术服务协议。
KPC首席执行官阿德萨尼对路透社记者说:“这些技术服务协议将用于重油以及更大的布尔干和北科威特油田。投标将在下周或10月中旬发布,我们预计在今年年底前签署这些技术服务协议。”
KPC麾下的上游子公司科威特石油公司(KOC)想增加原油产量以及开发其部分油田,其中包括世界第二大油田布尔干油田。这个计划是旨在满足这个欧佩克成员国在2020年前把本国石油生产潜力提高到400万桶/天努力的一部分。
科威特目前平均日产295万桶石油,其石油日产能维持在320万桶。
阿德萨尼还说,科威特打算在明年年底前把其在用油气钻机数从目前的90部增加到140部,所增加的钻机将都是陆上钻机。

Kuwait Petroleum to sign service deals by year-end
KUWAIT, October 12, 2015
Kuwait Petroleum Corp (KPC) said on Monday it was in talks with Shell, BP and Total about signing technical service deals and aimed to finalise them by the end of the year.
"It will be for heavy oil and greater Burgan and north Kuwait (oilfields). Bids will be issued next week, mid-October, and we expect to sign by the end of the year," chief executive Nizar Adsani told Reuters.
Kuwait Oil Company (KOC), the upstream arm of KPC, wants to increase crude output and develop some of its oilfields including Burgan, the world's second largest.
The plan is part of efforts to meet the Opec member state's target of boosting its oil production potential to 4 million barrels per day (bpd) by 2020.
Kuwait's oil production is now 2.950 million bpd and capacity stands at 3.2 million bpd, Adsani said.
Adsani also said Kuwait aims to increase its oil and gas drilling rigs from the current 90 to 140 by the end of 2016 and that those added will all be onshore.- Reuters
