据海上能源12月13日报道，日前，卡塔尔能源公司(QatarEnergy)已与壳牌公司(Shell)达成协议，收购红海埃及一侧两个海上勘探区块的开采权益。
这家卡塔尔国有公司周一透露，根据须经埃及政府批准的协议条款，卡塔尔能源公司将持有红海3号和4号区块17%的工作权益。
卡塔尔能源公司总裁兼首席执行官、能源事务国务部长萨阿德·谢里达·卡比（Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi）在评论达成这些协议时表示，我们对这一重要进展感到高兴，因为它代表着卡塔尔能源进入阿拉伯埃及共和国成熟的上游油气行业，并为财团合作伙伴探索这一前沿领域提供了机会。
2019年底授予壳牌3号区块，面积3097平方公里，水深100米至1000米；4号区块也于2019年底授予壳牌，占地3084平方公里，水深为150米至500米。
相关协议完成后，这两个区块的开采权益分配：对于3号区块，壳牌作为运营商将持有43%的权益，必和必拓(BHP)持有30%的权益，塔瓦石油公司(Tharwa Petroleum Company)持有10%，卡塔尔能源公司持有17%。
对于4号区块，壳牌将持有21%的权益，穆巴达拉将持有27%，必和必拓将持有25%，塔瓦石油公司有10%，卡塔尔能源公司持有17%。
上周，卡塔尔能源公司就同埃克森美孚（ExxonMobil）一个财团的海上5号区块与塞浦路斯签署了勘探和产量分成合同（EPSC），从而扩大了其在塞浦路斯的业务范围。
除10号区块外，这是卡塔尔能源公司在塞浦路斯的第二个勘探区块，该区块于2017年授予同一财团，并于2019年2月宣布格劳科斯（Glaucus）天然气发现，估计现有天然气资源为5万亿-8万亿立方英尺。
