據(jù)海上能源4月17日報道，卡塔爾國有能源巨頭卡塔爾能源公司和納米比亞礦業(yè)和能源部簽署了一份諒解備忘錄，旨在加強在能源領(lǐng)域的合作。

旨在為繼續(xù)合作鋪平道路的該諒解備忘錄，涵蓋知識共享、勞動力發(fā)展和探索在納米比亞的進一步投資機會等領(lǐng)域。

卡塔爾能源事務(wù)國務(wù)大臣、卡塔爾能源公司首席執(zhí)行官Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi和納米比亞共和國礦業(yè)和能源部長Tom Alweendo在卡塔爾能源公司多哈總部舉行的簽字儀式上簽署了該協(xié)議。

Al-Kaabi表示，“我們很高興進一步加強與納米比亞政府的合作，并在我們最近取得的成功的基礎(chǔ)上再接再厲。這項協(xié)議進一步加強了我們的關(guān)系，我們將共同努力建設(shè)一個繁榮的未來”。

卡塔爾能源最近宣布在納米比亞南部近海Orange盆地的Jonker-1X井發(fā)現(xiàn)輕質(zhì)油，這是繼去年在同一盆地獲得兩個獨立的石油和伴生天然氣發(fā)現(xiàn)之后的又一個發(fā)現(xiàn)。

這家卡塔爾能源巨頭持有納米比亞近海三個勘探許可區(qū)的權(quán)益，包括PEL-39油田45%的權(quán)益、PEL-56油田30%的權(quán)益和PEL-91油田28.33%的權(quán)益，總面積超過2.8萬平方公里。

就最近的其他活動而言，值得注意的是，卡塔爾能源公司于3月底與埃克森美孚公司簽訂了一項關(guān)于加拿大紐芬蘭和拉布拉多近海兩個勘探許可區(qū)的轉(zhuǎn)讓協(xié)議。

據(jù)稱，這筆交易將使卡塔爾公司能夠擴大其在大西洋加拿大段的海上勘探投資組合。

QatarEnergy and Namibia’s ministry ink deal for energy cooperation

Qatar’s state-owned energy giant QatarEnergy and Namibia’s Ministry of Mines and Energy have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the aim of strengthening cooperation in the energy sector.

The MoU, said to pave the way for continued cooperation, covers areas such as knowledge sharing, workforce development and exploring further investment opportunities in Namibia.

The agreement was signed by Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, Qatar’s Minister of State for Energy Affairs, the President and CEO of QatarEnergy, and Tom Alweendo, Minister of Mines and Energy of the Republic of Namibia, in a signing ceremony held at QatarEnergy’s headquarters in Doha.

“We are pleased to further enhance our cooperation with the Government of Namibia and build on our recent successes. This agreement further strengthens our relationship as we work jointly towards a prosperous future,” said Minister Al-Kaabi.

QatarEnergy recently announced a light oil discovery in the Jonker-1X well in the Orange Basin offshore southern Namibia, adding to the previous two separate oil and associated gas discoveries in the same basin last year.

The Qatari energy giant holds interests in three exploration licenses offshore Namibia, including 45 per cent in PEL-39, 30 per cent in PEL-56, and 28.33 per cent in PEL-91, covering a total area of over 28,000 km2.

In terms of other recent activities, it is worth noting that at the end of March QatarEnergy entered into a farm-in agreement for two exploration licenses offshore Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada with ExxonMobil.

The deal is said to allow the Qatari player to expand its offshore exploration portfolio in Atlantic Canada.
