莫桑比克新一轮油气区块招标截止时间延长3个月雕刻刀

据路透社12月29日马普托报道，莫桑比克国家石油学会主席阿塞尼奥·马博泰29日在马普托接受路透社记者采访时表示，莫桑比克已决定把新一轮15个新的海上和陆上油气勘探生产区块许可证出售招标的截止时间往后延长3个月。

莫桑比克政府在10月份公布这些区块时说，莫桑比克政府将在2015年1月20日前接收标书。

马博泰说，由于感兴趣的程度以及投标公司要求更多的时间，此轮招标的截止时间现在已被推迟到2015年4月30日。

所提供的区块包括位于鲁伍马盆地北部的3个新地区，美国阿纳达科石油公司和意大利埃尼公司时下正在鲁伍马盆地北部开发数十亿美元的液化天然气出口项目。

莫桑比克希望来自其巨大天然气储量和其羽翼未丰的煤炭开采业的收入，帮助其摆脱多年的贫困以及对援助的依赖。

Mozambique extends bidding round for new gas and 来宾oil blocks

MAPUTO Dec 29 (Reuters) - Mozambique has extended by over three months a licensing round for 15 new offshore and onshore blocks for gas and oil exploration and production, a senior government official said on Monday.

When the blocks were unveiled in October, the government said bids would be accepted until Jan. 20, 2015.

That has now been extended until April 30 because of the level of interest and company requests for additional time, Arsenio Mabote, chairman of the Nat龙泉ional Petroleum Institute, told Reuters.

The blocks on offer include three new areas of the northern Rovuma Basin, where U.S. oil major Anadarko Petroleum Corp and Italy's Eni are already developing multi-billion-dollar liquefied natural gas (LNG) export projects.

Mozambique is hoping revenue from its large natural gas deposits and its fledgling coal mining industry will help it emerge from years of poverty and aid dependence.
