据路透社7月25日亚的斯亚贝巴报道，南苏丹石油部周三说，南苏丹已经取消了与法国石油公司关于开发两个石油区块的谈判，这为其他渴望勘探这个被认为拥有丰富油气储量广阔地区的投资者铺平了道路。
法国道达尔公司和另外两家石油公司自2013年以来一直在与南苏丹政府就开发被称为B1和B2的地区进行谈判。
南苏丹石油部长鲁尔·加图斯在一份声明中说：“南苏丹石油部对与道达尔公司的谈判没有达成任何协议感到遗憾。但南苏丹期待着让新的投资者参与这些石油许可证的谈判。”
加图斯说，道达尔公司和南苏丹政府未能在勘探的持续时间和产量分成协议的商业条款上达成一致。
道达尔公司没有立即回复记者的置评请求。

South Sudan Terminates Petroleum License Talks With Total
South Sudan has called off talks with French oil major Total about developing two oil blocks, the petroleum ministry said Total, alongside two other oil companies, has been in talks with the country's government about developing the area called B1 and B2 since 2013.
"The Ministry of Petroleum regrets that negotiations with Total have concluded in no deal," Petroleum Minister Ezekiel Lol Gatkuoth said in a statement. "But (it) looks forward to bringing new investors into talks for these licenses."
Total and the government failed to agree Total did not immediately respond to a request for comment.
