俄油和埃尼为赤道几内亚天然气区块做准备

据普氏能源资讯赤道几内亚马拉博4月5日消息 一位来自赤道几内亚的政府官员表示，俄罗斯石油公司和意大利埃尼集团已表示有意开发赤道几内亚陷入停滞的Fortuna液化天然气项目。

由于欧佩克最小的生产国希望重振上游活动并阻止其成熟油田的石油产量下降，赤道几内亚本周启动了新的在岸和离岸许可证。

此轮许可证包括24个海上和两个陆上区块，涵盖了俄斐能源公司的前天然气丰富的区块R，该区块用于支持其Fortuna浮动LNG项目。

一位熟悉竞标过程的政府官员对普氏表示，俄罗斯石油公司和埃尼集团等综合性石油巨头已表示有意收购前R区块。

现在更名为EG -27区块，前Fortuna区块的天然气储量估计约为370万亿立方英尺(1050亿厘米)，而Fortuna 20亿美元的液化天然气设施预计年产量为220万吨。

他表示，赤道几内亚开放了EG-27项目的开发，该项目要么是作为一个浮动液化天然气项目，要么是作为与比奥科岛上现有的Punta Europe液化天然气工厂的管道连接。

这位官员补充称，除了天然气区块EG-27，埃克森美孚、Tullow和Kosmos也对该国最新的上游项目表示了兴趣。

EG-23区块毗邻马拉松石油公司的Alba凝析气田，与尼日利亚接壤，拥有Estaurolita气田的天然气。

石油部表示，EG-23区块距离埃克森美孚的Zafiro油田27公里，还包括Tsavarita油田和非商业性质的Sodalita West油田。

Rosneft, Eni in line for Equatorial Guinea's Fortuna gas block

Russian oil giant Rosneft and Italy's Eni have expressed an interest in developing Equatorial Guinea's stalled Fortuna LNG project which is now back on the block as part of a new licensing round, according to a government official from the Central African producer.

Equatorial Guinea launched a new onshore and offshore licensing round this week, as OPEC's smallest producer looks to reinvigorate upstream activity and stem a decline in oil output from its maturing fields.

The licensing round includes 24 offshore and two onshore blocks and covers Ophir Energy's former gas-rich Block R, which was to feed its Fortuna floating LNG project.

Rosneft and Eni are among a list of integrated oil majors which have already signaled an interest in the former Block R, a government official close to the bidding round told S&P Global Platts.

Now renamed as block EG-27, the former Fortuna block's resources are estimated at some 3.7 Tcf (105 Bcm) of gas, and the $2 billion Fortuna LNG facility had been expected to produce 2.2 million mt/year of LNG.

Equatorial Guinea is open to block EG-27 being developed either as a floating LNG project or as pipeline connection to its existing Punta Europe LNG plant on Bioko Island, he said.

In addition to the gas block EG-27, ExxonMobil, Tullow and Kosmos have also expressed interest in the country's latest upstream round, the official said.

Block EG-23, adjacent to Marathon Oil's Alba gas-condensate field and the maritime boundary with Nigeria, holds the Estaurolita gas discovery.

Located 27km from ExxonMobil's Zafiro field, the EG-23 block also includes the Tsavarita oil discovery and the non-commercial Sodalita West oil find, the ministry said.
