中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社4月20日马斯喀特报道，阿曼苏丹国石油部长表示，阿曼计划下月在苏哈尔和伊朗之间修建一条海底天然气管道。
穆罕默德·本·哈马德·鲁姆希（Mohammed Bin Hamad Al Rumhi）告诉汤森路透（Thomson Reuters），海底勘测、有关海底勘测、管道设计及其附件以及压缩机站的相关工作已经完成。
鲁姆希表示，来自全球的八个财团已经表示有兴趣参与该项目。
他解释说：“管道不是很深，在技术上与该地区的管道相比，是一条很小的管道，每天的产能为十亿立方英尺。”
2016年8月，路透社报道称，阿曼和伊朗同意改变计划了的管道路线与设计，以避开阿拉伯联合酋长国控制的水域。
报告称，两国在2016解除对德黑兰的国际制裁后重新开始实施该项目，但由于在造价和美国以寻找其他供应商为由对马斯喀特施加压力的分歧，计划被大大推迟。
报告还指出，计划的管道将把伊朗的天然气储藏与阿曼尼的消费者以及阿曼的液化天然气（LNG）工厂连接起来，从而重新出口天然气。
本月早些时候，英国石油公司宣布继2017年9月成功启动第一阶段后，将开发阿曼的巨型Khazzan气田的第二阶段。
英国石油公司在一份新闻声明中称，第一阶段目前的设计产能大约为十亿立方英尺/日的天然气，约35000桶/日的凝析油。
Ghazeer项目的第二阶段预计将于2021建成投产，并每天增加5亿立方英尺和超过15000桶/日的凝析油产量。

Oman plans to issue undersea gas pipeline tender in May
Oman is planning to invite bids to build an undersea natural gas pipeline between Sohar and Iran next month, the Sultanate’s oil minister has said.
Mohammed Bin Hamad Al Rumhi told Thomson Reuter that work related to seabed surveys, design of the pipeline and its accessories and the compressor stations have been completed.
Al Rumhi said that eight consortiums from across the globe have already expressed interest in involvement with the project.
“It is not very deep and is technically a small line in comparison to the region’s pipelines, with a capacity of one billion cubic feet a day,” he explained.
In August 2016, Reuters reported that Oman and Iran agreed to change the route and design of the planned pipeline to avoid waters controlled by the United Arab Emirates.
The report said both countries had renewed efforts to implement the project after the lifting of international sanctions on Tehran in 2016, but plans were considerably delayed by disagreements over price and US pressure on Muscat to find other suppliers.
The report also noted that the planned pipeline would connect Iran’s gas reserves to Omani consumers as well as liquefied natural gas (LNG) plants in Oman that would re-export the gas.
Earlier this month, BP announced that it will develop the second phase of Oman’s giant Khazzan gas field after the successful start-up the first phase in September 2017.
The oil major said in a press statement that the first phase is currently producing at design capacity of around one billion cubic feet of gas per day and around 35,000 barrels a day of condensate.
The Ghazeer second phase is expected to come onstream in 2021 and deliver an additional 500 million cubic feet per day and over 15,000 bpd condensate production.
