希腊将在未来数周内结束深海油气勘探投标评价

据海外媒体5月15日雅典报道，希腊能源部长帕诺斯?斯库尔莱蒂斯周五（13日）在雅典表示，由于希腊寻求开发本国有限的石油储量，希腊将在未来数周内结束深海油气勘探投标的评价工作并将在稍后指定首选的投标者。

不断下跌的原油价格削减了全球石油项目的开支，然而，资金短缺的希腊仍继续推进投资油气工业以期减少对石油进口的依赖和增加公共财政。

斯库尔莱蒂斯说：“我们时下正在评价石油公司提交的3个投标，这些石油公司的财政实力、经验和基础设施确保他们处在一个能成功进行油气勘探和生产的位置上。”

斯库尔莱蒂斯说，业务和技术报价的评价工作预计“在未来数周内”结束。

希腊政府官员曾说，法国道达尔公司与希腊最大的炼油企业希腊石油公司和意大利爱迪生公司组成的国际财团投标了其中一个位于希腊西部的海上天然气钻探区块。此外，希腊石油公司还独自投标了另外两个位于爱奥尼亚海的区块。

Greece to Evaluate Deep-sea O&G Exploration Bids

Greece will conclude the evaluation of deep-sea oil and gas exploration bids in the coming weeks and will name the preferred bidders soon after, its energy minister said on Friday, as the country seeks to tap into its limited oil reserves.

Plunging crude oil prices have cut spending on oil projects around the world but cash-strapped Greece is pushing ahead with investment in the industry in a bid to reduce dependence on oil imports and boost public finances.

"We are evaluating three bids made by oil companies whose financial strength, experience and infrastructure ensure they are in a position to successfully perform gas and oil exploration and production," Energy Minister Panos Skourletis said.

Skourletis said the evaluation of the business and technical offers was expected to be wrapped up "in the coming weeks."

Officials have said that France's Total in a consortium with Greece's biggest oil refiner, Hellenic Petroleum , and Italy's Edison have bid for one offshore gas drilling block in the west of Greece.

Hellenic Petroleum has also bid independently for two other blocks in the Ionian Sea.
