来宝能源公司收购壳牌在哥伦比亚离岸勘探区块

据离岸工程3月26日报道称，哥伦比亚政府周二表示，壳牌已将其参与哥伦比亚两份海上石油勘探合同中40％的股份出售给来宝能源公司，后者也将参与运营这些区块。

哥伦比亚最近修改了海上勘探合同条款，并启动了一项永久性招标程序，以提振其长期停滞不前的石油行业。

这两家公司和国家碳氢化合物机构（ANH）都没有透露来宝能源公司参与加勒比海COL-3和GUA OFF-3区块开发交易的财务细节，这两个区块的面积合计超过88万公顷。

ANH此前曾表示，对这两个区块的第一开发阶段投资将徘徊在1亿美元左右。壳牌本月早些时候为他们签署了合同。

“这是两家伟大公司对哥伦比亚离岸离岸市场潜力的认真押注，”ANH总裁Luis Miguel Morelli在一份声明中表示。

Noble Buys Shell Blocks Offshore Colombia

Shell has sold 40 percent of its participation in two offshore oil exploration contracts in Colombia to Noble Energy, which will also operate the blocks, the government said on Tuesday.

Colombia recently modified contractual terms for offshore exploration and launched a permanent bidding process in an effort to boost its long-stagnant oil sector.

Neither the companies nor the national hydrocarbons agency (ANH) shared financial details of the deal for Noble's involvement in the Caribbean COL-3 and GUA OFF-3 blocks, which cover more than 880,000 hectares.

The ANH has previously said investment in the first development phase for the two blocks will hover around $100 million. Shell signed the contract for them earlier this month.

"This is a serious bet by two great companies on the potential of Colombian offshore," ANH President Luis Miguel Morelli said in a statement.
