壳牌收购Impact油气公司南非海上勘探区块

中国石化新闻网讯 据离岸工程网8月31日报道 石油巨头壳牌公司已从Impact油气公司收购了南非近海Transkei & Algoa区块的股份。

　　该交易于2020年11月首次达成协议，交易完成后，壳牌现在是该区块的运营商，持有50%的股份，Impact油气公司持有剩余的50%。

　　此外，Impact周二表示，南非政府已批准许可证的第二次续期，这是从2021年8月开始的两年勘探期。

　　Impact和壳牌计划在2022年继续采集约6000平方公里的三维地震数据。

　　Impact油气公司首席执行官Siraj Ahmed表示：“我们非常高兴与壳牌公司达成了这笔交易，壳牌是具有深水专业知识的世界级运营商。我们期待着与壳牌公司合作，在迄今为止已完成的大量工作的基础上，进一步探索这个激动人心的勘探区域。”

　　“本次交易以及拟议的三维地震采集计划，使Impact能够实现其加快勘探南非Natal Trough转换边缘的目标，Impact认为该地区具有巨大潜力。”

　　Transkei&Algoa位于南非东部近海，水深达3000米，占地面积约45838平方公里。

　　Algoa区块位于South Outeniqua盆地，靠近道达尔的11B/12B区块，包含Brulpadda凝析油发现。在成功钻探Luiperd-1X探井后，道达尔最近宣布了进一步重要的凝析油发现。

　　Shell Enters Impact Oil & Gas' South Africa Offshore Blocks

　　Oil major Shell has acquired a share in the Transkei & Algoa blocks offshore South Africa from Impact Oil & Gas.

　　Following completion of the transaction, first agreed on in November 2020, Shell is now the operator of the block with a 50% stake and Impact Oil & Gas owns the remaining 50%. stake.

　　Also, Impact said Tuesday that the South African Government had granted the Second Renewal Period of the license. This is a two-year exploration period that started in August 2021.

　　Impact and Shell plan to proceed with the acquisition of about 6,000 km2 of 3D seismic during 2022.

　　Siraj Ahmed, CEO of Impact Oil & Gas, said: “We are very pleased to have concluded this transaction with Shell; a world-class operator with deepwater expertise. We look forward to working with Shell to build on the considerable work done to date and further explore this exciting exploration province. "

　　“This transaction, and the proposed 3D seismic acquisition program, enables Impact to deliver on its objective of accelerating the exploration of the transform margin of the South African Natal Trough, which Impact believes has significant potential.”

　　Transkei & Algoa is located offshore eastern South Africa and covers approximately 45,838km2 in water depths up to 3,000 meters.

　　The Algoa block is situated in the South Outeniqua Basin, near Total's Block 11B/12B, containing the Brulpadda gas condensate discovery and where Total has recently announced a further significant gas condensate discovery, following the successful drilling of the Luiperd-1X exploration well.
