据ZAWYA网突尼斯1月18日消息 突尼斯工业和能源部长Slim Feriani周五表示，突尼斯今年的天然气产量将翻一番，相当于达产油量到每天6.5万桶左右。
Feriani称，6月南纳瓦拉气田投产后，该国天然气日产量将从3.5万桶石油当量跃升。
Feriani表示，“当南部的Nawara项目启动时，我们将增产约3万桶石油当量。”
该项目将由奥地利OMV和突尼斯国家石油公司ETAP共同拥有，投资约7亿美元。
Feriani还表示，突尼斯正寻求吸引约20亿美元的外国投资，在三年内生产1900兆瓦的可再生能源。“我们将启动可再生风能和太阳能的国际招标。我们的目标是到2022年投资20亿美元，生产1900兆瓦的电力。”这将占到全国发电量的22%。
该部长称，突尼斯还计划在2019年将磷酸盐产量从300万吨提高到500万吨。
他还补充道，提高产量将促进经济增长，并为重振经济提供收入。
据突尼斯央行称，磷酸盐出口是外汇储备的主要来源，该国外汇储备已降至仅相当于82天进口的水平。
突尼斯2010年生产了约820万吨磷酸盐，但2011年改革后产量下降。自2011年以来，年产量从未超过450万吨。

Tunisia to almost double gas production this year
Tunisia will almost double production of natural gas to about 65,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day this year, the industry and energy minister, Slim Feriani, told The country's gas output will jump from 35,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day (boed) when the southern Nawara gas field comes "We will raise our production by about 30,000 barrels of oil equivalent when the Nawara project in the south will start," Feriani told.
This project will be jointly owned by Austria's OMV and Tunisian National Oil Company ETAP with investments of about $700 million.
Feriani also said Tunisia was seeking to attract about $2 billion in foreign investment to produce 1,900 megawatts (MW) of renewable energy in three years. "We will start launching international bids for the production of renewable wind and sun energy. We aim to produce 1,900 MW by investment of up to $2 billion until 2022," he said.This would represent about 22 percent of the country's electricity production.
Tunisia also plans to raise production of phosphate from 3 million tonnes to 5 million in 2019, he said.
Raising the output will boost economic growth and provide revenue to revive its faltering economy, the minister said.
Phosphate exports are a key source of foreign currency reserves, which have dropped to levels worth just 82 days of imports, according Tunisia's central bank.
Tunisia produced about 8.2 million tonnes of phosphate in 2010 but output dropped after its 2011 revolution. Annual output has not exceeded 4.5 million tonnes since 2011.
