中国石化新闻网讯 据美国彭博新闻社12月5日墨西哥城报道,澳大利亚矿业巨头必和必拓公司将支付6.24亿美元成为墨西哥国家石油公司(墨国油/Pemex)在墨西哥湾深水区生产石油和天然气的首个私人合作伙伴。
必和必拓公司将与墨国油合作来开发Trion油田的石油。位于与美国接壤海上边界南面的Trion油田估计拥有相当大约4.85亿桶的油气储量。
墨西哥国家油气委员会(CNH)周一在墨西哥城宣布,总部设在墨尔本的必和必拓公司在投标中战胜了报价6.04亿美元的英国石油公司。
在墨西哥湾与一家私人石油公司组建合资企业表示墨国油的一个新时代的开始。墨西哥政府在2013年批准向外国竞争者开放本国能源工业结束了墨国油长达75年之久的垄断地位。
墨国油希望合资企业(例如Trion油田)将协助其扭转长达12年的产量下跌以及连续16个季度的亏损。

BHP Billiton Named as Pemex's First Deepwater Oil Partner

Mexico City
BHP Billiton Ltd. will pay $624 million to be Petroleos Mexicanos’ first private partner in producing oil and natural gas in the deep waters of the Gulf of Mexico.
BHP will partner with Pemex, as the state-owned operator is known, to develop oil in the Trion field. Trion, located just south of the maritime border with the U.S., is estimated to contain the equivalent of about 485 million barrels. The Melbourne-based company beat out BP Plc, which offered $604 million, the National Hydrocarbons Commission announced Monday in Mexico City.
The joint venture with a private oil producer in the Gulf of Mexico signals the beginning of a new era for Pemex, whose 75-year monopoly in Mexico ended in 2013 when the government approved to open the energy industry to foreign competitors. Pemex hopes joint ventures, such as in the Trion field, will assist to reverse 12 years of oil production declines and 16 consecutive quarterly losses.
