巴國油將接管BP在巴西六個超深水區(qū)塊的權益

據OE網站4月7日報道， 巴西國家石油公司（Petrobras）已同意接管英國石油公司（BP）在巴西北部近海六個超深水區(qū)塊的全部股權。

這些區(qū)塊距離阿馬帕州（Amapá）約120公里，巴國油表示，那里是巴西赤道邊緣的一個很有潛力的勘探前沿。

協議中的六個區(qū)塊分別為:FZA-M-57、FZA-M-59、FZA-M-86、FZA-M-88、FZA-M-125和FZAM-127，這六個區(qū)塊是該財團在2013年第11輪區(qū)塊招標中收購的。巴國油沒有透露交易的財務條款細節(jié)。

FZA-M-57、FZA-M-86、FZA-M-88、FZA-M-125和FZA-M-127區(qū)塊為巴西國家石油公司(30%)、道達爾(40%)和BP(30%)所有。

巴國油于2020年9月28日簽署了一項協議，將承擔該業(yè)務以及道達爾在這些合同中的所有股份，但這筆交易仍需獲得ANP的批準。

道達爾曾在2020年9月早些時候宣布放棄五個勘探區(qū)塊的經營權，這一決定是在巴西環(huán)境監(jiān)管機構Ibama第五次（也是最后一次）拒絕其在環(huán)境敏感盆地進行鉆探的許可證約兩年后作出的。Ibama當時表示，該地區(qū)的石油勘探將給珊瑚礁和生物多樣性帶來風險。

FZA-M-59區(qū)塊由巴國油和英國石油公司組成的財團擁有。巴國油作為運營商持有30%的股份，英國石油公司持有70%股份。

巴國油就與英國石油公司的協議評論道，根據與英國石油公司的協議，巴西國家石油公司將擁有這六個區(qū)塊100%的權益。轉讓的完成仍需監(jiān)管部門的批準。該交易符合2021-2025年戰(zhàn)略計劃，該計劃預測了東南盆地以外的新的勘探前沿，也是公司投資組合管理流程的一部分，優(yōu)先投資于深水和超深水的世界級資產，旨在為股東實現價值最大化。

Petrobras to Take Over Six BP's Ultra-deepwater Blocks in Brazil

Brazil's national oil company Petrobras has agreed to take over BP's entire stakes in six ultra-deepwater blocks, located offshore northern Brazil.

The blocks are situated some 120 km from the state of Amapá, in what Petrobras said was a high-potential exploratory frontier on the Brazilian equatorial margin.

The six blocks in the agreements are: FZA-M-57, FZA-M-59, FZA-M-86, FZA-M-88, FZA-M-125 and FZAM-127, which were acquired by the consortia in the 11th Bidding Round of Blocks in 2013. Petrobras did not share details on the financial terms of the transaction.

Blocks FZA-M-57, FZA-M-86, FZA-M-88, FZA-M-125 and FZA-M-127 are owned by Petrobras (30%), Total (40%) and BP (30%).

Petrobras on September 28, 2020, signed an agreement to assume the operation and all of Total's stakes in these contracts, but this deal is still subject to ANP approval.

Total had earlier in September 2020 announced its decision o give up operatorship over the five exploration blocks, the decision made some two years after the Brazilian environmental regulator Ibama denied it a permit to drill in the environmentally sensitive Basin for a fifth and final time. Ibama at the time said that oil exploration in the area would present risks to reefs and biodiversity.

The FZA-M-59 block is owned by a consortium of Petrobras, with a 30% stake and operator, and BP (70%).

Providing comment on the agreement with BP, Petrobras said: "The agreement with BP will allow Petrobras to hold 100% interest in these six blocks. The completion of the transfer is still subject to regulatory approvals. This transaction is in line with the 2021-2025 Strategic Plan, which foresees new exploratory fronts outside the Southeastern basins, and is part of the company's portfolio management process, prioritizing investments in world-class assets in deep and ultra-deep waters, aiming to maximize value for our shareholders."
