据普氏能源资讯12月10日伦敦报道，根据一项在美国能源部长佩里访问卡塔尔期间达成的合作协议，国有卡塔尔石油公司(QP)将与美国埃克森美孚公司合作在莫桑比克海上勘探石油。
QP日前收购埃克森美孚公司在莫桑比克运营的三个海上区块10%股份使得他们已经广泛的合作更加多样化。
这家美国石油巨头在卡塔尔的液化天然气（LNG）合资企业中拥有10-30%的股份，并从20亿立方英尺/天的Al Khalij天然气项目中向国内市场供应天然气。QP也被认为即将批准位于德克萨斯州的Golden Pass液化天然气出口项目，埃克森美孚公司是这个LNG项目的合作伙伴之一。
卡塔尔能源大臣兼QP首席执行官卡阿比周六在一份声明中称表示：“与美国石油巨头签署莫桑比克海上石油勘探协议对QP来说是一个重要里程碑，因为它标志着QP首次涉足莫桑比克有希望的海上盆地。“

Qatar signs ExxonMobil Mozambique pact as Perry visits
State-owned Qatar Petroleum is to join ExxonMobil in exploring offshore Mozambique under a deal that came as US Energy Secretary Rick Perry visited the country, following its surprise exit from OPEC last week.
QP's acquisition of a 10% stake in three offshore blocks operated by ExxonMobil diversifies their already extensive cooperation. The US major has stakes of 10-30% in Qatar's LNG ventures and supplies the domestic market from the 2 Bcf/d Al Khalij Gas project. QP is also thought to be "This is a milestone for QP as it marks its first foray into Mozambique's promising offshore basins," QP CEO and Qatari energy minister Saad Al-Kaabi said in a statement Saturday.
