康菲成为离开波兰页岩气的最后全球石油大公司

据路透社6月5日华沙报道，美国能源巨头大陆菲利普斯公司（康菲公司）5日表示，由于未能获得令人满意的勘探成果，康菲公司日前停止了其在波兰的页岩气勘探作业，从而把页岩气田的剩余作业留给波兰国有公司。

今年早些时候，美国另外一个能源巨头雪佛龙公司在埃克森美孚公司、道达尔公司和马拉松石油公司在过去3年里先后退出波兰的页岩气勘探以后也放弃了在波兰寻找页岩气。

康菲公司说，其麾下子公司Lane能源波兰公司自2009年以来已在波兰投资大约2.2亿美元，其子公司在3个西波罗的海租借区内先后钻取了7口井。

康菲公司在波兰的地区经理提姆·华勒斯在一份声明中说：“我们理解这个艰难决定令人失望。不幸的是，我们在波兰迄今没有钻遇商业数量的页岩气。”

几年前，全球石油公司纷纷被波兰吸引，当时他们都认为东欧最大的经济体将复制页岩气在美国的繁荣。

Conoco the Last Global Oil Firm to Quit Polish Shale Gas

WARSAW, June 5 (Reuters) - ConocoPhillips, the U.S. energy company, said on Friday it has stopped its shale gas exploration in Poland due to unsatisfactory results, leaving the rest of the field to Polish state-run firms.

Earlier this year another U.S. energy major Chevron Corp gave up looking for shale gas in Poland, following the withdrawal of Exxon Mobil, Total and Marathon Oil over the past three years.

ConocoPhillips said its subsidiary Lane Energy Poland has invested around $220 million in Poland since 2009. It drilled seven wells over its three Western Baltic concessions.

"We understand the disappointment surrounding this difficult decision," Tim Wallace, ConocoPhillips country manager in Poland, was quoted as saying in a statement. "Unfortunately, commercial volumes of natural gas were not encountered."

Global oil firms were attracted to Poland a few years ago, sharing a belief that eastern Europe's biggest economy would repeat the shale gas boom seen in the United States.
