石油设备网讯 据欧洲石油3月11日消息，卡塔尔石油公司(Qatar Petroleum)与意大利埃尼集团(Eni)达成协议，将获得位于莫桑比克共和国近海安戈什盆地A5A区块25.5%的参与权益。
卡塔尔能源事务国务部长兼卡塔尔石油公司首席执行官Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi就此发表评论说：“我们很高兴与我们宝贵的合作伙伴埃尼公司签署这项协议，共同参与勘探这一边境近海盆地，并以此加强我们在莫桑比克的存在感。我想借此机会感谢莫桑比克当局以及在这一区块中的伙伴的合作与支持。”
Al-Kaabi补充说道：“通过签署这项新协议，目标是扩大我们的勘探组合，以确保地理、地质和盆地的多样化。拥有一个庞大而多样化的勘探组合，是卡塔尔石油公司的一个关键长期的目标，也是成功的关键。”
A5A区块位于安戈什盆地，毗邻A5B区块，卡塔尔石油的一家子公司于2018年12月与埃克森美孚(ExxonMobil)的一家子公司就A5B区块达成协议，获得了10%的参与权益。A5A区块总占地面积约5133平方公里，水深约300至1800米。
根据卡塔尔石油公司的增长战略，这一机遇进一步加强了公司的国际油气投资组合，使得公司获得了一个具有巨大油气资源潜力的前沿勘探盆地区块。

Qatar Petroleum signs agreement to enter a new exploration block in Mozambique
Qatar Petroleum entered into an agreement with Eni to acquire a 25.5% participating interest in block A5A, located in the Angoche basin, offshore the Republic of Mozambique.
Commenting on this occasion, H.E. Mr. Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, the Minister of State for Energy Affairs, and President & CEO of Qatar Petroleum, said: “We are pleased to sign this agreement, with our valuable partner Eni, to participate in exploring this frontier offshore basin and strengthen our presence in Mozambique. I would like to take this opportunity to thank the Mozambican authorities and our partners in this block for their cooperation and support”.
H.E. Al-Kaabi added: “By entering into this new agreement, we aim at expanding our exploration portfolio to ensure diversification of geographies as well as geologies and basins. Having a large and diversified exploration portfolio is a key long-term objective for Qatar Petroleum and essential for success.”
Block A5A lies in the Angoche basin and is located adjacent to block A5B for which an affiliate of Qatar Petroleum entered into an agreement in December 2018 with an ExxonMobil affiliate to acquire a 10% participating interest. Block A5A covers a total area of around 5,133 km2 in water depths ranging from about 300 to 1,800 meters.
In line with Qatar Petroleum’s growth strategy, this opportunity further strengthens Qatar Petroleum’s international oil and gas portfolio with the addition of a block in a frontier exploration basin with significant hydrocarbon resource potential.
