石油设备网讯 据世界石油8月5日路易斯港报道，马来西亚国家石油公司政府在一份声明中援引加蓬石油部长Noel Mboumba的话说，在加蓬上个月颁布了一项新的石油法之后，马来西亚国有石油公司与加蓬签署了一项协议，获得两项勘探许可证。
声明称，马来西亚国家石油公司已在加蓬开展业务，是5年来首家在加蓬签署勘探和生产合同的公司。此前，在国际货币基金组织的支持下，上月通过了一项经过修订的碳氢化合物法。声明援引Mboumba的话说，新准则在财政上比旧准则更具吸引力。
与其他几个中非国家一样，石油输出国组织成员国加蓬也依赖石油收入。Mboumba表示，尽管产量下降，但国家看到了海外产量的潜力。据法国国际广播电台报道，加蓬最近出售了35个石油区块。与马来西亚国家石油公司的交易是针对F12和F13海上区块。政府在声明中称，一旦开发成功，这些区块的日产量将达到20万桶。

Petronas signs Gabon’s first exploration permits in five years
Malaysia’s state-owned oil company has signed an agreement with Gabon for two exploration permits after the African country enacted a new oil law last month, the government said in a statement citing Noel Mboumba, Gabon’s petroleum minister.
Petroliam Nasional Bhd, known as Petronas, already has a presence in Gabon and is the first company to sign an exploration and production contract in the country in five years, according to the statement. The deal follows the enactment of a revised hydrocarbons code last month, made with the support of the International Monetary Fund. The new code is more fiscally attractive than the previous one, the statement said citing Mboumba.
Like several other Central African nations, Gabon -- a member of the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries -- relies on oil revenue. Despite a slump in production, the country sees potential in offshore output, according to Mboumba. Gabon recently put 35 oil blocks for sale, Radio Francaise International reported. The deal with Petronas is for offshore blocks F12 and F13. once developed, the blocks will have a production of 200,000 bpd, the government’s statement said.
