據烴加工網12月5日報道，阿布扎比國家石油公司(ADNOC)和馬來西亞國家石油公司(Petronas)周一簽署了一項協議，以授予馬國油中東地區首個非常規石油資源開采權。

據阿聯酋國家通訊社WAM報道，這份為期6年的協議是這家馬來西亞公司首次在阿布扎比的承租區進行投資。

工業部長兼ADNOC首席執行官Sultan Ahmed al-Jaber在簽署該協議后表示，ADNOC將繼續以可靠和可持續的方式負責任地從阿布扎比豐富的油氣資源中釋放價值。

馬國油將保留勘探和評估“非常規陸上1號區塊”資源承租區100%的運營權，該區塊位于阿布扎比Al Dhafra地區，占地超過2000平方公里。

al-Jaber補充道：“我們已經推動了阿布扎比非常規石油資源的風險降低，并期待著與馬國油合作，充分發揮非常規陸上1號區塊的潛力。”

WAM稱，該協議是在ADNOC在該承租區進行初步作業后達成的，并補充稱，雙方可以在評估階段成功后進入30年的生產承租區。這將從授予馬國油首個承租區之日起開始。

WAM表示，ADNOC還可以選擇持有該承租區50%的股份，這將為阿聯酋創造巨大的國內價值。并補充道，阿布扎比的非常規可開采石油資源估計為220億桶輕質低硫原油，與ADNOC的旗艦級低碳穆爾班原油相當。

ADNOC, Petronas sign Abu Dhabi unconventional oil resources deal

Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and Malaysia's Petroliam Nasional Berhad (Petronas) on Monday signed a deal awarding the first concession in the Middle East for unconventional oil resources.

The six-year agreement is the first investment by a Malaysian company in an Abu Dhabi concession, United Arab Emirates state news agency WAM said.

"ADNOC will continue to responsibly unlock value from Abu Dhabi’s vast hydrocarbon resources in a reliable and sustainable manner," Minister of Industry and ADNOC's CEO, Sultan Ahmed al-Jaber said after the signing.

Petronas will retain a 100% stake in the operating rights of the concession to explore and appraise resources in "Unconventional onshore Block 1", which covers an area of more than 2,000 square kilometers in Abu Dhabi's Al Dhafra region.

"We have driven the de-risking of Abu Dhabi’s unconventional oil resources and look forward to building on this with Petronas to realize the full potential of Unconventional onshore Block 1,” al-Jaber added.

The agreement comes after ADNOC conducted preliminary operations in the concession area, WAM said, adding that the parties can enter a production concession of 30 years after a successful appraisal phase. This starts from the date of awarding the first concession to Petronas.

ADNOC could also have the option to hold a 50% stake in the concession, which offers the potential to create significant in-country value for the UAE, WAM said.

Abu Dhabi’s unconventional recoverable oil resources are estimated at 22 B barrels of very light and sweet crude, comparable to ADNOC’s flagship lower-carbon Murban grade, WAM added.
