雷普索尔与希国油签署石油勘探协议

据哈特能源4月9日消息，西班牙雷普索尔石油公司（Repsol）和希腊国家石油公司（Hellenic）在4月9日签署了租赁协议，雷普索尔将在希腊西部的两个海上区块勘探石油和天然气。

受塞浦路斯、埃及和以色列在地中海东部天然气储量富饶的鼓舞，希腊在经历了多年的经济危机和三次国际援助之后，迫切希望能够吸引能源公司的投资。

Repsol和Hellenic的合资企业将在爱奥尼亚海上区域寻找石油资源，而Hellenic也将在伯罗奔尼撒半岛的另一个区域进行勘探。

希国油在希腊其他近海和陆上地区拥有勘探权，并计划明年在伯罗蓬内斯半岛进行首次试采。

目前，Energean是希腊唯一的石油生产商，该公司预计2019年的日产量将在5000至5500桶之间。

由美国埃克森美孚公司、法国道达尔公司和希腊国家石油公司组成的一个财团也获得了在克里特岛附近勘探石油和天然气的权限。预计今年夏天将签署相关协议并获得议会的批准。

Repsol, Hellenic Sign Lease Deals To Look For Oil In Western Greece

Spain’s Repsol and Hellenic Petroleum on April 9 signed lease agreements to explore for oil and gas in two offshore blocks in Western Greece.

Encouraged by major gas finds off Cyprus, Egypt and Israel in the eastern Mediterranean, Greece is eager to attract energy investments as it is emerges from years of economic crisis and three international bailouts.

A joint venture of Repsol and Hellenic will search for hydrocarbons in an offshore block in the Ionian Sea, while Hellenic will also explore in another block off the Peloponnese peninsula.

Hellenic has exploration rights in other offshore and onshore areas in Greece and plans the first test drilling off the Peloponnese peninsula next year.

Energean is currently the sole oil producer in the country and its output is expected between 5,000 and 5,500 barrels per day in 2019.

A consortium of U.S. Exxon Mobil Corp., France’s Total and Hellenic has also been awarded a tender to explore for oil and gas off Crete. Signature of the respective agreements and parliament approval is expected this summer.
