尼计划每年向石油勘探生产投资200亿美元
据海外媒体2月11日报道,尼日利亚新任石油国务部长奥德因·阿贾莫戈比亚2月9日在阿布贾说,尼日利亚计划每年向石油勘探和生产部门投资150亿至200亿美元。
阿贾莫戈比亚是在阿布贾举行的几内亚湾石油和天然气会议上对与会者发表上述讲话的。他说,尼日利亚的石油勘探和生产部门预计每年将需要150亿至200亿美元(102亿至136亿欧元)的投资。
阿贾莫戈比亚说,这项雄心勃勃的产能扩展计划将把尼日利亚放入几内亚湾投资的最前线。
几内亚湾地区还包括安哥拉、喀麦隆、加蓬、刚果、赤道几内亚以及圣多美和普林西比。几内亚湾地区总共拥有大约600亿桶石油储量。
阿贾莫戈比亚说,尼日利亚目前拥有大约350亿桶石油储量,这个数字使得这个西非公司在全球原油供应中处于一个扮演一个重要角色的优良位置。
阿贾莫戈比亚还说,尼日利亚国有石油巨头尼日利亚国家石油公司(NNPC)为了今后取得更好的成绩时下正在进行调整。尼日利亚联邦政府今年已允许NNPC尝试提高第三方为其油气活动筹措资金,NNPC迄今已从第三方获得了大约60亿美元的资金。
据悉,尼日利亚是非洲最大的石油生产国,其石油日产量为210万桶。

Nigeria plans $20bn spend on energy

Ajumogobia ... aggressive plan
ABUJA: Nigeria plans to spend about $15bn to 20bn annually on oil exploration and production, junior oil minister Odein Ajumogobia has said.
An estimated annual spending of about $15-to-20bn (10.2-13.6bn euros) is anticipated in Nigeria’s exploration and production sector, Ajumogobia told participants at a Gulf of Guinea Oil and Gas conference here.
The minister said this aggressive production capacity expansion plan? will put Nigeria in the forefront of investments in the Gulf of Guinea. This region also comprises Angola, Cameroon, Gabon, Congo, Equatorial Guinea and Sao Tome and Principe. In all, it has estimated oil reserves of about 60bn barrels.
Ajumogobia said Nigeria’s crude oil reserves currently stand at about 35bn barrels, putting the west African country in good position to play a critical role in global crude oil supplies.
The minister said the state-run oil company, NNPC, was being restructured for better performance, adding that this reform will address the challenge of funding that has threatened the sector growth.
As a prelude to this, the federal government has this year allowed NNPC to attempt to raise third-party finance for its activities and about $6bn is currently being sourced from these sources, Ajumogobia said.
This effort will enable the JVs (joint ventures) to sustain a higher level of activity estimated at about $15bn in total for 2008?, he added.
Joint-venture funding has been an issue between Nigeria and major oil companies, with the foreign companies accusing the west African country of defaulting in foreign currency cash call payments.
