中国石化新闻网讯 据离岸工程11月29日报道，英国石油巨头英国石油公司bp赢得地中海埃及尼罗河三角洲近海两个石油勘探区块。
被称为西北阿布基尔近海区块（Northwest Abu Qir Offshore Area）和Bellatrix-Seti East区块的这两个区块，由埃及国有公司埃及天然气控股公司(Egas)授予。
英国石油公司拥有西北阿布基尔近海区块82.75%的运营股份，而Wintershall-Dea拥有剩余的17.25%的股份。
位于英国石油公司拥有的North King Mariout西部的西北阿布基尔近海区块，占地面积约为1038平方千米。
bp持有位于Atoll油田和North Tabya区块西部、占地3440平方公里的Bellatrix-Seti East区块50%的股份。其余股份由意大利埃尼公司持有。
bp天然气和低碳能源执行副总裁Anja-Isabel Dotzenrath表示，"长期以来，埃及对bp来说一直很重要，我们与埃及的合作近60年，投资超过350亿美元。我们现在期待着一个更成功的未来，继续通过提供具有成本竞争力的天然气供应来帮助满足埃及日益增长的能源需求，并通过探索氢气的增长机会来支持埃及的能源转型”。
2022年，bp获得了North El Fayrouz海上区块、King Mariout海上区块和North El Tabya地区的扩建区块。
bp埃及、阿尔及利亚和利比亚地区总裁Karim Alaa表示：“我们在2022年获得了四个新的勘探区块和一个区块扩展，这为利用现有基础设施开发天然气发现提供了潜力。获得这么大面积区块是我们保持长期稳定产量战略的一部分。”
今年早些时候，彭博社报道称，英国石油公司正在考虑出售墨西哥的石油资产，以将业务重点转向墨西哥的可再生能源。

BP wins two oil exploration blocks offshore Egypt
British oil major BP has received two oil exploration blocks offshore Nile Delta, Egypt, in the Mediterranean Sea.
The blocks, called the Northwest Abu Qir Offshore Area and Bellatrix-Seti East block, have been awarded by Egyptian state-owned company Egyptian Natural Gas Holding Company (Egas ).
BP owns an 82.75% operatorship stake in Northwest Abu Qir Offshore Area while Wintershall-Dea owns the remaining 17.25% stake.
Located west of the BP-owned North King Mariout block, the Northwest Abu Qir Offshore Area covers an area of approximately 1038km².
BP holds a 50% stake in the 3440km² Bellatrix-Seti East block, located west of the Atoll field and North Tabya blocks. The remaining stake is held by Italian firm Eni.
BP gas and low carbon energy executive vice-president Anja-Isabel Dotzenrath said: “Egypt has long been important for BP, with almost 60 years of successful partnership and more than $35bn invested.
“We now look forward to an even more successful future, continuing to help meet Egypt’s growing energy needs by providing cost-competitive supplies of gas and supporting Egypt through the energy transition by exploring growth opportunities in hydrogen, for example.”
In 2022, BP was awarded the North El Fayrouz offshore area, King Mariout Offshore Area, and the North El Tabya area extension.
BP regional president for Egypt, Algeria, and Libya Karim Alaa said: “We have been awarded four new exploration blocks and a block extension in 2022, which offer the potential for gas discoveries that could be developed using existing infrastructure. Acquiring this acreage is part of our strategy to maintain a longer-term plateau production rate.”
Earlier this year, Bloomberg News reported that BP was considering selling oil assets in Mexico to shift its focus towards renewable energy in the country.
