據(jù)5月13日Neftegaz.Ru消息：索馬里石油和礦產(chǎn)資源部長(zhǎng)阿卜杜拉希德·艾哈邁德表示，第一輪競(jìng)標(biāo)截止日期為2021年3月12日，提供的區(qū)域是152、153、164、165、177、178和204街區(qū)。授予區(qū)塊后，將協(xié)商并簽署生產(chǎn)共享協(xié)議。

艾哈邁德在網(wǎng)絡(luò)研討會(huì)上說，此次發(fā)行是在對(duì)人類和全球經(jīng)濟(jì)造成負(fù)面影響的具有挑戰(zhàn)性的全球環(huán)境下進(jìn)行的。這是索馬里有史以來的第一輪競(jìng)標(biāo)。他還保證將以“對(duì)所有人透明且公平”的方式進(jìn)行招標(biāo)程序。

艾哈邁德提到，在殼牌公司和埃克森美孚公司支付東非國(guó)家獲得歷史許可證后，成功測(cè)試了收益共享協(xié)議。

有官員稱，碳?xì)浠衔镄袠I(yè)的收入可以推動(dòng)經(jīng)濟(jì)蓬勃發(fā)展和自我維持。索馬里《石油法》已于今年2月正式批準(zhǔn)。該立法規(guī)定了在聯(lián)邦政府，各州和地方社區(qū)之間如何分配碳?xì)浠衔锏氖杖搿?/span>

該法律為在2020年的競(jìng)標(biāo)中創(chuàng)造利益提供了最佳框架。索馬里有可能成為東非近海最重要的油田之一，受到石油和天然氣廣泛專業(yè)人士的興趣。”

索馬里被要求在《石油法》批準(zhǔn)后6個(gè)月內(nèi)啟動(dòng)一個(gè)監(jiān)管機(jī)構(gòu)，即索馬里石油管理局。該國(guó)還發(fā)布了一個(gè)公益廣告范本。

艾哈邁德總結(jié)說：“索馬里對(duì)商業(yè)開放起重要作用。”

Somalia preps for 1st bid round with the official opening due on August 4

The closing date is March 12, 2021, Somali Minister of Petroleum & Mineral Resources Abdirashid Ahmed said. The areas on offer are Blocks 152, 153, 164, 165, 177, 178 and 204, the minister said. Once blocks have been awarded, production-sharing agreements will be negotiated and signed.

The offering is taking place in “challenging global circumstances with a negative impact on humanity and the global economy”, Ahmed said on a webinar organised by IHS Markit. The round is Somalia’s 1st ever licence round.

Mogadishu sees revenues from the hydrocarbon sector as a catalyst for the economy to become dynamic and self sustaining, the official said. Somalia’s Petroleum Law was officially ratified in February this year. This legislation set out how revenues from hydrocarbons would be distributed, between the federal government, the states and local communities.

Ahmed cited the successful test of the revenue sharing agreement seen following payments from Shell and ExxonMobil for historic licences in the East African country.

The law “provides the optimum framework to create interest in the 2020 bid round. The opportunity is huge. Somalia could become one of the most significant plays offshore East Africa, with interest from oil and gas majors,” the minister said.

In addition to the revenue distribution, he also gave assurances that the bid round process would be carried out in a manner that was “transparent and fair for everyone”.

Somalia is required to launch a regulator, the Somali Petroleum Authority (SPA), within 6 months of the Petroleum Law’s ratification. The country has also published a model PSA.

“Somalia is open for business big time,” Ahmed said by way of conclusion.
