30多家公司競標圭亞那原油交易

據離岸工程網站4月22日消息 圭亞那政府周二表示，30多家公司，包括貢沃爾和維多等大宗商品交易商以及?？松梨诤秃商m皇家殼牌等石油巨頭的子公司，都提交了一份合約意向書，以出售圭亞那政府在該國原油中的份額。

圭亞那國家采購和招標委員會在周二上午截止日期后公布了這些投標。其他提交意向書的主要公司包括Mercuria、盧克石油、Equinor、道達爾、Glencore、巴西石油和沙特阿美。

圭亞那是一個經濟欠發(fā)達的南美國家，去年加入了世界石油生產國行列，當時?？松梨陬I導的財團開始從多產的海上Stabroek區(qū)塊開采原油，在那里，圭亞那與合作方赫斯公司一起發(fā)現(xiàn)了80多億桶可采資源。

政府有權在收回成本后獲得一半的石油產量，但由于國內沒有煉油能力，也沒有國家石油公司，政府正在尋求第三方幫助其出售石油。政府去年與殼牌達成了一項協(xié)議，將其前三批貨物運走。

目前的招標是政府在2月份開始，為期12個月的合同，至少要處理5次每次100萬桶的量。

30+ Companies Compete for Guyana Crude Trading Deal

More than 30 companies, including commodities traders like Gunvor and Vitol as well as units of oil majors like Exxon Mobil and Royal Dutch Shell, submitted expressions of interest for a contract to market the Guyanese government's share of the country's crude, the government said on Tuesday.

The National Procurement and Tender Board administration unveiled the bids after their Tuesday morning deadline. Other major companies submitting expressions of interest included units of Mercuria, Lukoil, Equinor, Total, Glencore, Petrobras and Aramco.

Guyana, a poor South American country, joined the world's oil producers last year when an Exxon-led consortium began extracting crude from the prolific offshore Stabroek block, where it has discovered more than 8 billion barrels of recoverable resource alongside partners Hess Corp .

The government is entitled to half of all oil produced after cost recovery, but with no domestic refining capacity or national oil company, it is seeking a third party to help it sell the oil. The government reached a deal with Shell last year to lift its first three cargoes.

The current search, which the government opened in February, is for a 12-month contract to handle at least five lifts of 1 million barrels each.
