中国石化新闻网讯 据普氏能源资讯3月1日达卡报道，孟加拉国国家石油公司（孟国油/Petrobangla）的一名高级官员周五在达卡接受普氏能源资讯记者采访时表示，孟加拉国已把本国最新一轮海上招标的投标截止时间延长了大约两周，延长到了4月2日。
这名拒绝透露名字的官员说，原先确定的投标截止时间是3月18日，然而，在2月7日举行的一次投标前会议上，潜在投标人要求延长投标的截止时间。他说，延长已获得孟加拉国水力、能源和矿产资源部的批准。
孟加拉国在去年12月9日启动了这轮涉及12个海上油气区块的招标。这轮招标还包括两个新发现的浅水油田。
孟加拉国曾表示，该国计划在6月或7月前颁发上游许可证并预计成功投标人将在今年年底前开始勘探作业。

Bangladesh extends bid submission deadline for upstream round to Apr 2
Dhaka (Platts)--1Mar2013
Bangladesh has extended the bid submission deadline for the country's latest offshore bidding round by about two weeks to April 2, a senior official with state-owned Petrobangla told Platts Friday.
The deadline was extended from March 18 previously, following requests from prospective bidders in a pre-bid meeting held February 7, said the official who declined to be named. The extension has been approved by the Ministry of Power, Energy and Mineral Resources, he said.
Bangladesh launched the bidding round for 12 offshore oil and gas blocks on December 9, 2012. The round also includes two discovered shallow water fields, Platts reported earlier.
Petrobangla has said previously it plans to award upstream licenses by June or July, and expects successful bidders to begin exploration by the end of this year.
