据油价网8月10日消息称，据上游新闻报道，壳牌将于下周开始进行地球物理调查，以探索马来西亚近海的潜在钻井机会。

调查现场的工作预计将持续到9月。

据称，壳牌将在马来西亚沙捞越近海寻找钻探机会，其中包括超级巨头的MLNG、SK 439和SK 440生产分成合同。马来西亚沙捞越石油勘探与生产公司(PSEP)是壳牌在SK 439和SK 440区块的合作伙伴。

2022年3月，壳牌与马来西亚国家石油公司签署了三份产量分成合同，共同勘探沙巴和沙捞越海上的石油和天然气，沙巴壳牌石油有限公司(SSPC)和沙捞越壳牌有限公司(SSB)负责勘探计划。产量分成合同包括沙捞越海岸浅水区SK439/SK440区块的勘探，以及沙巴海岸深水区SB-2W和SB-X区块的勘探。

“我们与马来西亚国家石油公司在马来西亚的长期和成功的合作伙伴关系仍在继续，因为我们共同寻求提供今天的能源，同时为明天的能源提供资金。我期待着在马来西亚发展可持续能源产业方面进一步成功合作。”壳牌当时表示。

在签署这些协议一年后，壳牌于2023年6月制定了计划，以发展其天然气业务并扩大其在上游的地位。

壳牌首席执行官Wael Sawan在6月中旬的壳牌资本市场日上说：“至关重要的是，世界要避免在我们能够建立未来的清洁能源体系之前更快地瓦解当前的能源体系。在未来很长一段时间内，石油和天然气将继续在能源系统中发挥关键作用，而需求只会随着时间的推移而逐渐减少。”

“继续投资石油和天然气对确保平衡的能源转型至关重要。”Sawan补充说。

Shell To Explore Offshore Drilling Opportunities In Malaysia

Shell is set to begin geophysical surveys next week to explore potential drilling opportunities offshore Malaysia, Upstream reported on Thursday.

The work at the site of the survey is expected to continue through September.

Shell will be looking for drilling opportunities in the acreage offshore Sarawak which include the supermajor’s MLNG, SK 439, and SK 440 production sharing contracts, according to Upstream. Petroleum Sarawak Exploration and Production (PSEP) of Malaysia is Shell’s partner in the SK 439 and SK 440 blocks.

In March 2022, Shell signed three production-sharing contracts with Malaysia’s state energy firm Petronas, to explore oil and gas offshore Sabah and Sarawak, with Sabah Shell Petroleum Company Limited (SSPC) and Sarawak Shell Bhd (SSB) operating the exploration initiatives. The production sharing contracts include exploration of blocks SK439/SK440 in shallow water, off the coast of Sarawak and exploration of blocks SB-2W and SB-X in deep water, off the coast of Sabah.

“Our long and successful partnership with PETRonAS in Malaysia continues, as together we seek to provide the energy of today while funding the energy of tomorrow. I look forward to further successful collaboration on growing a sustainable energy industry in Malaysia,” Shell said at the time.

A year after signing these deals, Shell laid out plans in June 2023 to grow its gas business and extend its position in the upstream.

“It is critical that the world avoids dismantling the current energy system faster than we are able to build the clean energy system of the future. Oil and gas WILL continue to play a crucial role in the energy system for a long time to come with demand reducing only gradually over time,” Shell’s chief executive Wael Sawan said on Shell’s Capital Markets Day in the middle of June.

“Continued investment in oil and gas is critical to ensure a balanced energy transition,” Sawan added in the pivot to ensure today’s energy needs, similar to what BP announced earlier this year.
