中国石化新闻网讯 据海外媒体3月6日内比都报道，由于外国公司必须与当地一个合作伙伴组队参加投标的要求如今已被搁置，在缅甸将在4月份举行的新一轮海上区块招标中，外国公司将被允许投标完全控制海上区块。
据路透社报道说，缅甸在即将举行的招标中将邀请外国公司投标25个位于深水和浅水海域的海上区块。
缅甸曾在今年1月份启动了18个陆上区块的招标，投标的截止日期是3月16日。路透社援引缅甸能源部一名高级官员的话报道说，陆上区块的投标者要求有当地的合作伙伴，作为这个要求的一个结果，大约100家缅甸实体争先恐后向能源部登记以期与外国参与者建立合伙关系。
然而，这名官员说，当地的这些公司几乎都没有任何油气工业的经验，他认为这个要求外国公司都不愿意接受。

Burma 'opens door' on offshore blocks
06 March 2013 09:34 GMT
Foreign companies will be allowed to bid for full control of offshore blocks to be offered in a Burma licensing round set to be launched in April as a requirement that they team up with a local partner has now been dropped, according to a report.
Burma will invite bids for around 25 blocks in both deep and shallow water in the upcoming tender, having launched an onshore round for 18 tracts in January with a closing date for bids of 16 March, a senior Energy Ministry official told Reuters.
Bidders for the onshore blocks are required to have local partners and, as a result, about 100 Burmese entities have rushed to register with the ministry to enter into partnerships with foreign players.
However, the official said: “Only a few of these local companies have any experience in the oil and gas industry. I think this requirement might have made some foreign investors reluctant.
