據(jù)Romania-Insider網(wǎng)站4月19日消息，Seenews網(wǎng)站報(bào)道，保加利亞能源部表示，已將2012年授予的黑海1-21 Han Asparuh海上區(qū)塊的石油和天然氣勘探許可證再延長(zhǎng)兩年。羅馬尼亞石油和天然氣公司OMV Petrom持有該區(qū)塊42.9%的權(quán)益。

該許可證于2012年擴(kuò)展到法國(guó)能源巨頭道達(dá)爾能源（現(xiàn)為TotalEnergies）及其合作伙伴雷普索爾（于2020年退出運(yùn)營(yíng)）和OMV——自2020年起被其子公司羅馬尼亞石油和天然氣集團(tuán)OMV Petrom取代。

保加利亞部長(zhǎng)表示，應(yīng)兩家公司的要求，該許可證第三次延期，兩家公司通報(bào)說(shuō)，在該區(qū)塊發(fā)現(xiàn)了一個(gè)有前景的區(qū)域，可以對(duì)潛在礦床進(jìn)行額外測(cè)試。

保加利亞能源部表示，兩家外國(guó)石油集團(tuán)的當(dāng)?shù)仨?xiàng)目公司，道達(dá)爾保加利亞勘探公司和保加利亞遠(yuǎn)洋石油公司，計(jì)劃在下一個(gè)勘探期總投資約146萬(wàn)歐元。

保加利亞能源部長(zhǎng)強(qiáng)調(diào)，從保加利亞能源安全的角度來(lái)看，該項(xiàng)目尤為重要。保加利亞經(jīng)濟(jì)部當(dāng)時(shí)表示，根據(jù)2012年簽訂的合同條款，運(yùn)營(yíng)商承諾在天然氣勘探過(guò)程中投資超過(guò)10億歐元。

Total and OMV Petrom get two-year extension to explore offshore perimeter in Bulgaria

The Bulgarian energy ministry said it extended by another two years the oil and natural gas exploration permit granted in 2012 for the 1-21 Han Asparuh offshore block in the Black Sea, where Romanian oil and gas company OMV Petrom holds a 42.9% interest, Seenews.com reported.

The permit was extended in 2012 to French energy major Total (now TotalEnergies) and its partners Repsol (which pulled out of the operations in 2020) and OMV - since 2020 replaced by its subsidiary, Romanian oil and gas group OMV Petrom.

The permit was extended for the third time at the request of the two companies, which informed of the discovery of a promising area in the block that allows for additional testing for potential deposits, the Bulgarian ministry said.

Total E&P Bulgaria and OMV Offshore Bulgaria, the local project companies of the two foreign oil groups, plan to make a total investment of about EUR 1.46 mln in the next exploration period, the Bulgarian Ministry of Energy stated.

The project is particularly important from the point of view of Bulgaria's energy security, the energy minister stressed. Under the terms of the contract sealed in 2012, the operators committed to investing over EUR 1 bln in the gas exploration process, the Bulgarian economy ministry said at the time.
