据烃加工网12月5日报道，阿布扎比国家石油公司(ADNOC)和马来西亚国家石油公司(Petronas)周一签署了一项协议，以授予马国油中东地区首个非常规石油资源开采权。

据阿联酋国家通讯社WAM报道，这份为期6年的协议是这家马来西亚公司首次在阿布扎比的承租区进行投资。

工业部长兼ADNOC首席执行官Sultan Ahmed al-Jaber在签署该协议后表示，ADNOC将继续以可靠和可持续的方式负责任地从阿布扎比丰富的油气资源中释放价值。

马国油将保留勘探和评估“非常规陆上1号区块”资源承租区100%的运营权，该区块位于阿布扎比Al Dhafra地区，占地超过2000平方公里。

al-Jaber补充道：“我们已经推动了阿布扎比非常规石油资源的风险降低，并期待着与马国油合作，充分发挥非常规陆上1号区块的潜力。”

WAM称，该协议是在ADNOC在该承租区进行初步作业后达成的，并补充称，双方可以在评估阶段成功后进入30年的生产承租区。这将从授予马国油首个承租区之日起开始。

WAM表示，ADNOC还可以选择持有该承租区50%的股份，这将为阿联酋创造巨大的国内价值。并补充道，阿布扎比的非常规可开采石油资源估计为220亿桶轻质低硫原油，与ADNOC的旗舰级低碳穆尔班原油相当。

ADNOC, Petronas sign Abu Dhabi unconventional oil resources deal

Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) and Malaysia's Petroliam Nasional Berhad (Petronas) on Monday signed a deal awarding the first concession in the Middle East for unconventional oil resources.

The six-year agreement is the first investment by a Malaysian company in an Abu Dhabi concession, United Arab Emirates state news agency WAM said.

"ADNOC will continue to responsibly unlock value from Abu Dhabi’s vast hydrocarbon resources in a reliable and sustainable manner," Minister of Industry and ADNOC's CEO, Sultan Ahmed al-Jaber said after the signing.

Petronas will retain a 100% stake in the operating rights of the concession to explore and appraise resources in "Unconventional onshore Block 1", which covers an area of more than 2,000 square kilometers in Abu Dhabi's Al Dhafra region.

"We have driven the de-risking of Abu Dhabi’s unconventional oil resources and look forward to building on this with Petronas to realize the full potential of Unconventional onshore Block 1,” al-Jaber added.

The agreement comes after ADNOC conducted preliminary operations in the concession area, WAM said, adding that the parties can enter a production concession of 30 years after a successful appraisal phase. This starts from the date of awarding the first concession to Petronas.

ADNOC could also have the option to hold a 50% stake in the concession, which offers the potential to create significant in-country value for the UAE, WAM said.

Abu Dhabi’s unconventional recoverable oil resources are estimated at 22 B barrels of very light and sweet crude, comparable to ADNOC’s flagship lower-carbon Murban grade, WAM added.
