中国石化新闻网讯 据海外媒体12月3日马普托报道,莫桑比克国家石油公司(INP)的一名官员周四在马普托表示,INP预计在明年初前与已获得这个国家境内油气资源勘探权的公司签署油气勘探合同。
INP的一名官员是在马普托举行的一次油气峰会上发表上述讲话的。他说,莫桑比克将在2至4个月内与已获得区块的公司最后敲定这些合同。
INP表示,在签署这些合同以后,中标公司将立即开始寻找石油和天然气。
莫桑比克拥有大约85万亿立方英尺的天然气储量,这个储量数足以供应德国、英国、法国和意大利近20年。但是,分析人士说,莫桑比克在做出最终投资决定以后将很可能需要至少5年的时间才能开始天然气生产。
莫桑比克政府官员预计最初有300多亿美元投资莫桑比克的天然气行业。

Mozambique O&G Contracts to be Signed Early Next Year
WENews.com/December 3, 2016/Maputo
Mozambique's National Petroleum (INP) expects to sign new oil and gas prospecting contracts by early next year with the companies awarded rights to test for hydrocarbons across the country, an official said on Thursday.
An INP official told a gas and oil summit in Maputo that the contracts would be finalised within 2 to 4 months with the companies that have been awarded the blocks.
After the signing of these contracts, INP indicated that the winning bidders would start looking for oil and gas immediately.
Mozambique has some 85 trillion cubic feet of gas reserves -- enough to supply Germany, Britain, France and Italy for nearly two decades. But analysts say it will likely take at least five years after final investment decisions before gas production begins.
Mozambican officials expect more than $30 billion will be invested initially in the natural gas sector.
