開羅 - 2018年7月30日：埃及通用石油公司與英國(guó)公司BP簽署新的石油協(xié)議，在蘇伊士灣齋月東北部勘探和生產(chǎn)石油和天然氣，投資額約為4600萬(wàn)美元，鉆探資金為400萬(wàn)美元三口井。 

該協(xié)議由石油管理局首席執(zhí)行官Abed Ezz al-Ghanim和英國(guó)石油公司（BP）北非Hisham Makkawi區(qū)域總裁簽署。 

石油部長(zhǎng)Tarek el-Molla表示，他的部門有一項(xiàng)雄心勃勃的計(jì)劃，即在勘探和開發(fā)已發(fā)現(xiàn)油田以及增加當(dāng)?shù)厥�油和天然氣產(chǎn)量方面增加石油投資。 

部長(zhǎng)指出，新的石油協(xié)議提供了對(duì)增加產(chǎn)量至關(guān)重要的投資。 

關(guān)于與BP達(dá)成的協(xié)議，Molla表示，這是2016年石油管理局提出的石油勘探和開采全球招標(biāo)的成果之一。 

“蘇伊士灣地區(qū)繼續(xù)享有充滿希望的投資前景，因?yàn)槭�油工業(yè)在各個(gè)領(lǐng)域的研究，研究和現(xiàn)代技術(shù)的使用，“莫拉澄清道。 

自2014年以來(lái)簽署的石油協(xié)議數(shù)量達(dá)到88項(xiàng)，協(xié)議正在簽署13項(xiàng)新協(xié)議。 

BP在埃及工作了50年，專注于勘探和生產(chǎn)。目前，它與合作伙伴共同生產(chǎn)埃及全部石油產(chǎn)量的近15％，并占埃及天然氣產(chǎn)量的30％。 

這家英國(guó)公司于2015年在東尼羅河三角洲北達(dá)米埃塔特許區(qū)發(fā)現(xiàn)了Atoll油田。該油田擁有1.5萬(wàn)億立方英尺天然氣和3100萬(wàn)桶凝析油。 

BP還持有Shorouk特許權(quán)10％的股份。 

本月早些時(shí)候，石油部在北西奈和蘇伊士灣簽署了三項(xiàng)石油和天然氣勘探和生產(chǎn)協(xié)議。 

與南谷埃及石油控股公司（Ganope）和英國(guó)GHP公司簽署了第一份協(xié)議，在西部Gebel El-Zeit特許經(jīng)營(yíng)區(qū)挖掘6口新井，總投資額為600萬(wàn)美元。 

Gebel El-Zeit是一座孤立的細(xì)長(zhǎng)山脈，高達(dá)457米，俯瞰著蘇伊士灣的南端。 

第二份協(xié)議與埃及通用石油公司（EGPC）簽署協(xié)議，在蘇伊士灣的Ras Fanar特許經(jīng)營(yíng)區(qū)尋找石油，而第三份協(xié)議則與EGPC和英國(guó)Perenco石油和天然氣公司簽署，以便在北西奈海事特許權(quán)區(qū)進(jìn)行勘探。 

埃及的天然氣產(chǎn)量在2017年12月增加，達(dá)到340萬(wàn)噸，高于2016年12月的270萬(wàn)噸。

由于從上述項(xiàng)目開始生產(chǎn)，埃及的天然氣產(chǎn)量目前為每天55億立方英尺，增加了約160萬(wàn)立方英尺。 

該國(guó)的天然氣總消費(fèi)量約為每天60億立方英尺，其中約65％用于電力部門。

CAIRO – 30 July 2018: Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation signed a new petroleum agreement with the British Company BP to explore and produce oil and gas in the northeast of Ramadan in the Gulf of Suez with investments of about $46 million and a $4 million grant to drill three wells. 

The agreement was signed by Chief Executive Officer of the Petroleum Authority Abed Ezz al-Ghanim, and Regional President of British Petroleum (BP) North Africa Hisham Makkawi. 

Minister of Petroleum Tarek el-Molla said that his ministry has an ambitious plan to increase petroleum investments in the fields of exploration and development of discovered fields, and increasing local production of oil and gas. 

The minister noted that new petroleum agreements provide investments that are essential to increase production. 

Regarding the agreement with BP, Molla said that it is one of the fruits of the global bidding for oil exploration and exploitation proposed by the Petroleum Authority in 2016. 

“The Suez Gulf region continues to enjoy promising investment prospects in light of the continuous development of the petroleum industry's research, studies and use of modern technologies in all sectors,” Molla clarified. 

The number of signed petroleum agreements reached 88 new agreements since 2014 and the authority is working on signing 13 new agreements. 

BP has been working in Egypt for 50 years, focusing on exploration and production. It currently produces almost 15 percent of Egypt’s entire oil production and close to 30 percent of Egypt’s gas production with its partners. 

The British company discovered Atoll field, in the North Damietta concession of the East Nile Delta, in 2015. The field has gas reserves of 1.5 trillion cubic feet of gas and 31 million barrels of condensates. 

BP also holds 10 percent stake of the Shorouk concession. 

Earlier this month, the Petroleum Ministry signed three agreements for oil and natural gas exploration and production in North Sinai and the Gulf of Suez. 

The first agreement was signed with South Valley Egyptian Petroleum Holding Company (Ganope) and Britain's GHP Corporation to dig six new wells in the western Gebel El-Zeit Concession with total investments of $6 million. 

Gebel El-Zeit is an isolated, elongate mountain that reaches up to 457 meters and overlooks the southern end of the Gulf of Suez. 

The second agreement was inked with the Egyptian General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC) to search for oil in Ras Fanar Concession in the Gulf of Suez while the third one was signed with EGPC and Britain's Perenco Oil and Gas Company for exploring in North Sinai maritime concession. 

Egypt’s production of natural gas increased in December 2017 to reach 3.4 million tons, up from 2.7 million tons in December 2016. 

Egypt’s gas production currently stands at 5.5 billion cubic feet a day, after adding some 1.6 million cubic feet as a result of starting production from the aforementioned projects. 

The country's total natural gas consumption is about 6 billion cubic feet per day, of which roughly 65 percent goes to the electricity sector.
