石油设备网讯 据伦敦《World Oil》4月1日消息，在签署了赤道几内亚阿伦单位（泛非石油天然气勘探与生产公司）天然气货币化的最终协议之后，Atlas Oranto 石油公司计划对该国的回填项目进行重大投资。
Atlas Oranto 石油公司与其在O区和I区的Noble 能源、Marathon 石油、Glencore和Guvnor的合作伙伴一起，预计将投资近3.5亿美元，用于从赤道几内亚和几内亚湾的搁浅气田中汇集供应，并弥补Alba油田产量下降的产量。
阿伦海上天然气枢纽的开发是赤道几内亚实现成为该次区域天然气巨型枢纽愿景的第一步，通过开发若干海上天然气枢纽，使邻近的天然气储量货币化，并发展下游天然气工业，促进工业发展和经济增长。
“我们对赤道几内亚的投资将使Atlas Oranto成为一个强大的非洲天然气供应商，”执行主席Arthur Eze宣布。“我们坚信，天然气货币化不仅是赤道几内亚和尼日利亚的关键，也是整个非洲的关键。Atlas Oranto将继续投资于整个非洲大陆的天然气货币化项目，包括发展天然气发电和提升天然气节能利用。”
Atlas Oranto感谢其在赤道几内亚的合作伙伴与政府合作，使回填项目成为现实，并敦促各方朝着实施该项目的方向努力，同时认识到有必要促进当地和区域内容，并促进创造就业机会。

Atlas Oranto Petroleum, partners to invest $350 million in Equatorial Guinea
Following the signing of definitive agreements for the monetization of gas from Equatorial Guinea’s Alen Unit, pan-African oil and gas exploration and production company, Atlas Oranto Petroleum is planning to make a significant investment into the country’s backfill project.
With its partners in Block O and I, Noble Energy, Marathon Oil, Glencore and Guvnor, Atlas Oranto Petroleum is expecting to be investing close to $350 million on pooling supply from stranded gas fields in Equatorial Guinea and the Gulf of Guinea and replace declining output from the Alba field.
The development of the Alen offshore gas hub is the first step towards Equatorial Guinea’s vision to become a gas mega-hub for the subregion by developing several offshore gas hubs to monetize neighboring gas reserves and develop downstream gas industries spurring industrial development and economic growth.
“Our investment into Equatorial Guinea will confirm Atlas Oranto as a strong African gas player,” declared Executive Chairman Prince Arthur Eze. “We firmly believe that gas monetization is not only key for Equatorial Guinea and Nigeria, but for the whole of Africa. Atlas Oranto will continue to invest in gas monetization projects across the continent, including gas-to-power and the curbing of gas flaring.”
Atlas Oranto is thankful to its partners in Equatorial Guinea for working with the government to make the backfill project a reality and urges all parties to move towards its implementation while recognizing the need to boost local and regional content and boosting job creation.
