中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社12月2日开罗报道,埃及石油部周五(2日)在开罗宣布,埃及已接受6份总投资价值高达2亿美元的石油和天然气勘探报价。
今年5月份,埃及石油总公司对11个位于西沙漠和苏伊士湾的油气区块宣布了一个国际招标。埃及石油总公司是在埃及渴望增加本国油气产量来满足国内对能源不断增加需求的时候作出招标决定的。
埃及石油部在一份声明中说,赢得招标的公司中包括荷兰皇家壳牌公司、英国石油公司、阿帕奇公司和Apex公司。英国石油公司的报价价值至少4600万美元,阿帕奇公司的报价至少6060万美元,而壳牌公司的报价至少3550万美元。
为了提高受挤压的公共财政,埃及政府一直在设法为本国的能源部门吸引外国投资者。据统计,埃及迄今还拖欠国际公司油气款大约30亿美元。

Egypt Accepts Six Bids For Oil And Gas Exploration
Reuters
Friday, December 02, 2016
CAIRO- Egypt has accepted six bids for oil and gas exploration worth a total investment of up to $200 million, the Ministry of Petroleum said on Friday.
In May, the General Authority for Petroleum announced an international tender for 11 oil and natural gas blocks in the western desert and Gulf of Suez at a time when Egypt aspires to increase its oil and gas production to meet the growing domestic demand for energy.
Royal Dutch Shell, BP, Apache Corp and Apex are among the companies that won bids, the ministry said in a statement. BP's bid was worth at least $46 million, Apache's at least $60.6 million, and Shell offered at least $35.5 million.
The government has been on a drive to lure back foreign investors to its energy sector in an effort to boost squeezed public finances.
Egypt owes about $3 billion to international oil companies for oil and gas they have supplied.
