俄油簽署協(xié)議幫助庫爾德地區(qū)開發(fā)天然氣儲量
中國石化新聞網(wǎng)訊 據(jù)路透社5月25日圣彼得堡報道,俄羅斯國有石油巨頭俄羅斯石油公司(俄油/Rosneft)日前簽署了一項協(xié)議來幫助伊拉克庫爾德地區(qū)開發(fā)其天然氣儲量以及建造一條天然氣管道,此舉將擴大俄油在伊拉克半自治區(qū)能源領(lǐng)域的主導(dǎo)地位。
俄氣說,作為其在庫爾德地區(qū)建立一個綜合天然氣業(yè)務(wù)價值鏈計劃的一部分,俄氣將對庫爾德地區(qū)的一條天然氣管道進(jìn)行預(yù)FEED(前端工程和設(shè)計)。
俄氣表示,該公司將把重點放在合作伙伴和庫爾德地區(qū)天然氣項目的第三方項目融資上。
俄油在過去兩年已同意向庫爾德地區(qū)的石油項目投資數(shù)十億美元,其中包括控制該地區(qū)的石油管道。
這條管道讓俄油得以進(jìn)入該地區(qū)關(guān)鍵的基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施,這些基礎(chǔ)設(shè)施通過土耳其領(lǐng)土把該地區(qū)的大部分石油輸送到全球市場。
由于俄羅斯總統(tǒng)弗拉基米爾?普京尋求擴大在中東的影響力,因此,這項協(xié)議使這家克里姆林宮控制的公司成為了該地區(qū)最大的投資者,把傳統(tǒng)上是美國強大盟友的埃爾比勒變成了莫斯科的重要合作伙伴。

Rosneft Boosts Clout In Iraqi Kurdistan With Gas Pipeline Deal
Russian state oil major Rosneft signed a deal to help Kurdistan develop its gas reserves and build a gas pipeline, expanding the company's dominance in the energy sector of Iraq's semi-autonomous region.
Rosneft said it would conduct a pre-FEED (front engineering and design) of a gas pipeline in Kurdistan as part of its plan to build an integrated gas business value chain in the region.
It said it would focus on partnerships and third-party project financing for gas projects in Kurdistan.
Rosneft has agreed to invest billions of dollars in Kurdistan's oil projects in the past two years including securing control of the region's oil pipeline.
That pipeline gave Rosneft access to crucial infrastructure that ships most of the region's oil to global markets via Turkish territory.
It made the Kremlin-controlled firm the biggest investor in the region by far, turning Erbil, traditionally a strong U.S. ally, into an important partner for Moscow as Russian President Vladimir Putin seeks to expand influence in the Middle East.
