中國石化新聞網訊 據OE網站1月4日報導，由法國能源巨頭道達爾(total)領導的國際油氣公司財團日前就位於地中海埃及近海希羅多德斯盆地(Herodotus)的北拉斯卡納伊斯(North Ras Kanayis) 近海區塊籤署了一份勘探和生產協議。
總部位於法國的道達爾作為運營商，持有35%的股份。其合作夥伴包括殼牌30%，KUFPEC 25%， Tharwa 10%與埃及天然氣控股公司(EGAS)籤署的協議。
該勘探區塊面積為4,550平方公裡，從海岸延伸5-150公裡，水深為50-3,200 m。 道達爾表示，希羅多德斯盆地是一個尚未開發的地區，與埃及天然氣控股公司（EGAS）籤署的協議包括前三年的3D地震活動。
道達爾勘探高級副總裁凱文·麥克拉克蘭（Kevin McLachlan）評論道，道達爾很高興作為該勘探和生產協議運營商進一步加強其在東地中海地位。我們對North Ras Kanayis近海區塊的勘探潛力感到高興。這加強了我們在埃及的存在，2020年7月，我們在North El Hammad許可區的Bashrush井發現了天然氣，並將通過與附近現有基礎設施的合作進行開發。
道達爾持有North El Hammad許可區25％的工作權益，其合作夥伴包括運營商ENI（37.5％）和BP（37.5％）。

Total, Partners Get Hold of Offshore Block in Egypt
A Total-led international consortium of oil and gas companies has signed an exploration and production agreement for the North Ras Kanayis offshore block located in the Herodotus Basin, offshore Egypt in the Mediterranean Sea.
France-based Total is the operator with a 35% stake. Partners are Shell 30%, KUFPEC 25%, Tharwa 10%) and the Egyptian Natural Gas Holding company (EGAS) have signed
The exploration block covers an area of 4,550 sq km, extending from 5 to 150 km from the shore, with water depths ranging from 50 to 3,200 m. The Herodotus Basin is an underexplored area and the agreement, signed with Egyptian Natural Gas Holding company (EGAS) includes a 3D seismic campaign during the first three years, Total said.
『『Total is pleased to further strengthen its Eastern Mediterranean position as an operator of this exploration and production agreement』』, commented Kevin McLachlan, Senior Vice President Exploration at Total.
「We are excited by the exploration potential of the North Ras Kanayis Offshore block. It reinforces our presence in Egypt, following a gas discovery made in July 2020 with the Bashrush well on the North El Hammad license, to be developed through a tie-in to nearby existing infrastructure.」
Total holds a working interest of 25% in the North El Hammad license, alongside operator ENI (37.5%) and BP (37.5%).
