据普氏能源资讯3月17日悉尼报道,英国石油公司(BP)麾下的澳大利亚分公司BP澳大利亚公司日前再次提交了其在大澳大利亚湾钻探石油的申请。大澳大利亚湾是世界上主要的边缘盆地之一。
澳大利亚国家海洋石油安全和环境管理局(NOPSEMA)将对BP澳大利亚公司的重新申请进行评估,此次重新申请是去年10月份提交的环境计划的更新。原计划在去年11月份被送回到BP澳大利亚公司。
新计划是在周二(15日)提交的,NOPSEMA计划在4月14日对这个新计划做出一个决定。
BP与挪威国家石油公司组成的一个分别拥有70%和30%股份的合资企业在大澳大利亚湾的塞杜纳子盆地中拥有探区。合作伙伴已承诺耗资6亿美元来勘探他们的4个大澳大利亚湾许可证。

BP Australia again seeks approval for $600 mil Bight drilling plan
Sydney (Platts)--17 Mar 2016
BP Australia has resubmitted its application to drill for oil in the Great Australian Bight, one of the world's major frontier basins.
The application, which is an update of an environment plan submitted last October, is being assessed by the National Offshore Petroleum Safety and Environmental Management Authority. The original plan was sent back to the company in November.
The new plan was lodged on Tuesday and NOPSEMA is scheduled to make a decision on April 14.
BP holds its acreage in the Bight's Ceduna Sub-basin in a 70:30 joint venture with Norway's Statoil. The partners have committed to spend $600 million exploring their four Bight permits.
