据彭博新闻社11月17日巴黎报道，据两位知情人士透露，法国佩朗哥石油公司（Perenco）时下正在就其成为科特迪瓦4个油气生产区块之一的CI-11区块的主要作业者进行谈判。
这家英法石油公司正在寻求购买科特迪瓦的CI-11区块的控股权，CI-11区块目前由一个包括科特迪瓦国家石油公司（Petroci）在内的国际财团运营，Petroci拥有该国际财团68%的股份。
其中一位知情人士说，根据协议，佩朗哥石油公司将担任这个区块的作业者，并持有该区块大约51%的股份。他说，这个国际财团的每个成员都将转让股份，以弥补总额，但他没有详细说明佩朗哥石油公司将为此支付多少。
佩朗哥石油公司驻伦敦发言人拒绝置评，而Petroci发言人则让彭博社记者向科特迪瓦能源部咨询。科特迪瓦能源部发言人拒绝置评。
这笔投资将推动科特迪瓦发展其采掘业的雄心壮志。由于缺乏重大发现，这个全球最大的可可种植国一直难以吸引国外油气投资者。与尼日利亚甚至加纳等西非邻国相比，科特迪瓦的石油产量相形见绌。
科特迪瓦政府在9月份曾称，CI-11区块是科特迪瓦今年上半年天然气产量增加的两个区块之一。CI-11区块是Lion油田和Panthere气田的所在地。2013年，Petroci收购了Afren公司在该区块以及与之相连的一个液化天然气厂的股份，成为了CI-11区块的主要运营商。

Perenco Eyes Controlling Stake in Ivory Coast Well
Perenco is in talks to become the main operator in The Anglo-French oil company is seeking to buy a controlling stake in block CI-11, currently operated by a consortium that includes the state-run company Petroci, which has a 68% stake.
Under the deal, Perenco will operate the asset and hold about 51% of the shares, A London-based spokesman for Perenco declined to comment and a Petroci spokesman referred Bloomberg to the energy ministry. A spokesman at the ministry declined to comment.
The investment would boost Ivory Coast’s ambition to develop its extractive industries. The world’s top cocoa grower has struggled to draw oil and gas investors due to a lack of large discoveries. Its output is dwarfed by West African neighbors such as Nigeria and even Ghana.
Block CI-11 is one of two blocks which saw an increase in gas output in the first half of the year, the government said in September. It is home to the Lion oil field and Panthere gas field. Petroci took over as the main operator in 2013 after acquiring Afren’s stake in the block and in a connected liquefied natural gas plant.
