据道琼斯11月6日消息,加蓬天然气和烃工业部周三表示,在南非召开的非洲石油周大会上,加蓬将提供35个新的石油区块。
今年7月,加蓬出台一部新的石油法典,以吸引油气领域的投资,同时为增加该国石油产量开放机会。
然而,加蓬经济部今年早些时候公布的数据显示,2018年加蓬生产石油7040万桶,比2017年7660万桶的产量减少8%。加蓬原先预测2018年的石油产量将达到7950万桶,没有达到产量目标的主要原因是基础设施的短缺。
在此次大会上,加蓬天然气和烃工业部长Noel Mboumba将寻求吸引新的投资进入该国油气领域。加蓬政府表示已经有24家公司对该国35个新的海洋石油区块感兴趣。

Gabon to Present 35 New Oil Blocks at Oil Conference
Gabon will present 35 oil blocks at the Africa Oil Week conference in South Africa, the gas and hydrocarbons ministry said Wednesday.
In July this year, Gabon introduced a new oil code to attract investment in the sector, opening up opportunities to increase its crude oil output.
However, figures published by the country's Ministry of Economy said earlier this year that Gabon produced 70.4 million barrels of oil in 2018, down 8% from 76.6 million barrels in 2017. Gabon had forecast 2018 output to hit 79.5 million barrels, but according to the government, the target was missed due to shortfalls in infrastructure.
At the conference, Gabon's Minister of Gas and Hydrocarbons Noel Mboumba will seek to attract new investment from the oil and gas sector. The government said 24 companies are interested in the country's 35 new offshore blocks.
Gabon--which currently produces a daily output of 187,000 barrels--hopes to double its annual crude oil production by 2021.
