据离岸工程5月19日报道，哥伦比亚国有控股能源公司哥伦比亚国家石油公司(Ecopetrol)与美国石油巨头西方石油公司(Occidental)已同意联合开发哥伦比亚加勒比海地区的四个近海深水区块。
勘探协议允许两家公司在位于哥伦比亚加勒比海东北部深水区的COL1、COL2、COL6和COL7区块勘探潜在油气资源。
这些深水区块位于Atlántico、Magdalena和La Guajira海岸线约150公里处。
Ecopetrol将拥有这些区块40%的勘探和生产权益，而西方石油公司的子公司Anadarko Colombia将持有剩余60%的权益。Anadarko Colombia将担任这些近海区块的运营商。
新的联盟符合Ecopetrol加强海上勘探的长期战略。
在获得监管许可和完成技术研究后，两家公司将通过获取海底样本和钻一口探井来勘探区块内的区域。
Ecopetrol在一份新闻声明中表示，这口井代表了两家公司致力于解决的一个重要技术挑战，因为它将在深水中完成。
然而，该协议须经哥伦比亚石油监管机构国家碳氢化合物管理局（ANH）批准。
Ecopetrol总裁Felipe表示，我们很高兴与一流合作伙伴结成新的联盟，根据我们2040年的“能源转型”战略，继续加强哥伦比亚加勒比地区的勘探组合，寻求通过增加海上勘探来保持碳氢化合物链的竞争力。

Ecopetrol and Occidental sign exploration deal for Colombia offshore blocks
Colombia’s majority state-owned energy company Ecopetrol and US oil major Occidental have agreed to jointly explore four offshore, deep-water blocks in the Colombian Caribbean.
The exploration agreement allows the two firms to explore for potential hydrocarbon resources in blocks COL 1, COL 2, COL 6, and COL 7, located in deep waters in the northeast of the Colombian Caribbean.
The deep-waters blocks are located approximately 150km from the coastline of Atlántico, Magdalena, and La Guajira.
Ecopetrol will own a 40% stake in the exploration and production rights of the blocks while Anadarko Colombia, a subsidiary of Occidental, will hold the remaining 60% interest.
Anadarko Colombia will serve as the operator of the offshore blocks.
The new alliance complies with Ecopetrol’s long-term strategy to strengthen its offshore exploration.
Subject to regulatory permits and the completion of technical studies, the two companies will explore the areas in the blocks by acquiring seabed samples and drilling an exploratory well.
In a press statement, Ecopetrol said: “This well represents an important technological challenge with which the companies are committed, since it would be done in deep water.”
The agreement, however, is subject to Colombia’s oil regulator National Hydrocarbons Agency (ANH) approval.
Ecopetrol president Felipe Bayón said: “We are very pleased to seal this new alliance with Oxy, a first-rate partner, to continue strengthening the exploration portfolio in the Colombian Caribbean in line with our 2040 strategy ‘Energy that transforms’, one of whose promoters seeks to maintain competitiveness in the hydrocarbon chain by increasing offshore exploration.”
