道达尔和埃尼与塞浦路斯签署勘探协议

据能源信息统计9月20日消息，塞浦路斯已与道达尔和埃尼签署了一项关于其专属经济区(EEZ)7号区块的勘探协议。此外，道达尔还将从埃尼获得2号区块20%的股份，3号区块9.30%的股份，8号区块40%的股份，而韩国的Koga则各持有20%的股份。预计两家公司将在未来两年内在各自区块钻6口井。

2019年7月，塞浦路斯宣布道达尔和埃尼在7号区块获得勘探许可证，各自拥有50%的股份。道达尔还获得了埃尼集团已经拥有许可证的2、3、8和9号区块的开采许可。总体而言，埃尼和道达尔拥有塞浦路斯13个区块中7个区块的开采许可。埃克森美孚和一个重组了美国诺贝尔能源的财团，以及以色列的德雷克集团各持有一个区块的开采许可证。

2019年2月，埃克森美孚和卡塔尔石油公司在他们的许可证区块内发现了一个天然气田，估计储量在1410至2270亿立方米之间。2011年，诺贝尔能源发现了一个气田，据该公司估计，该气田的天然气储量为1160亿立方米。

然而，土耳其反对塞浦路斯的勘探计划。2019年，安卡拉向该地区派出了两艘钻探船和两艘勘探船。土耳其当局还向土耳其国家石油和天然气公司(TPAO)颁发了石油钻探许可证，该许可证涵盖塞浦路斯共和国南部和西南部专属经济区划定的1、4、5、6和7号区块。

Total and Eni sign an exploration agreement with Cyprus

Cyprus has signed an exploration deal with Total and Eni concerning block 7 of its exclusive economic zone (EEZ). Additionally, Total will obtain from ENI 20% of blocks 2 and 9.30% of block 3, and 40% of block 8, while Korea’s Koga retains 20% in each. The two companies are expected to drill six wells in their blocks over the next two years.

In July 2019, Cyprus announced that Total and Eni had been awarded a permit for exploration in block 7 with a share of 50% each. Total also received permits for blocks 2, 3, 8 and 9 where Eni owns already a licence. Overall, Eni and Total have permits for seven of Cyprus’ 13 blocks.

In 2011, Noble Energy discovered a field which it estimates to hold 116 bcm of natural gas.

However, Turkey is opposing Cyprus’s exploration plans. In 2019, Ankara sent two drillships and two exploratory vessels to the area. Turkey also issued oil drilling permits to the Turkish National Oil and Gas Company (TPAO) that encompass blocks 1, 4, 5, 6 and 7 as delineated in the Cyprus Republic’s EEZ, south and south-west of the island.
