据世界石油网站8月31日报道 阿拉伯联合酋长国首次向巴基斯坦公司授予石油特许权。
据阿布扎比国家石油公司称，由国有巴基斯坦国家石油有限公司牵头的一个集团将投资约3.05亿美元，在阿联酋波斯湾水域寻找原油和天然气。
阿布扎比是阿联酋最大的酋长国，阿布扎比希望到2030年将产能提高25%左右，达到500万桶/日。对于世界第五人口大国巴基斯坦来说，随着能源需求的增加，该协议可能有助于锁定额外的供应。
与沙特阿拉伯和大多数其他海湾石油输出国组织成员国不同，阿布扎比拥有国际公司作为其油气田的股权投资者。在过去十年中，阿联酋从亚洲引进了一些公司，那里的石油需求正在快速增长。韩国和印度公司都在生产和勘探区块中入股。
该投资扩大了阿联酋和巴基斯坦之间的能源合作范围，后者每天进口约10万桶阿联酋石油。阿布扎比主权基金穆巴达拉投资公司持有巴基斯坦一家炼油厂的股份。
巴基斯坦国家石油公司在向卡拉奇证券交易所提交的文件中表示，巴基斯坦财团还包括马里石油公司、石油天然气开发公司和政府控股有限公司。每家公司将持有该合资企业25%的股份。
阿联酋是欧佩克第三大石油生产国，日产量约275万桶。在新冠疫情后，欧佩克和其他国家决定限制出口以提振市场，该国生产能力不足。

Pakistan invests $305 million to explore for oil in UAE’s Persian Gulf
The United Arab Emirates awarded an oil concession to companies from Pakistan for the first time.
A group led by state-owned Pakistan Petroleum Ltd. will invest about $305 million to find crude and natural gas in the UAE’s Persian Gulf waters, according to Abu Dhabi National Oil Co.
Adnoc is expanding its fields and inviting partners to develop new deposits as Abu Dhabi -- the biggest emirate in the UAE -- seeks to boost production capacity by roughly 25% to 5 million barrels a day by 2030. For Pakistan, the the world’s fifth-most populous nation, the deal could help lock in additional supplies as its energy demand increases.
Unlike Saudi Arabia and most other Gulf OPEC members, Abu Dhabi has international companies as equity investors in its oil and gas fields. Over the past decade, the emirate has brought in firms from Asia, where oil demand is growing rapidly. South Korean and Indian companies have all taken stakes in production and exploration blocks.
The award extends the scope of energy cooperation between the UAE and Pakistan, which imports about 100,000 barrels of Emirati oil a day. Abu Dhabi sovereign fund Mubadala Investment Co. owns a stake in a refinery in Pakistan.
The Pakistani consortium also includes Mari Petroleum Co., Oil and Gas Development Co., and Government Holdings Ltd. Each company will own a 25% stake in the venture, Pakistan Petroleum said in a filing to the stock exchange in Karachi.
The UAE is the third-largest oil producer in the Organization of Petroleum Exporting Countries, pumping about 2.75 million barrels daily. The country is producing below capacity after OPEC and other nations decided to restrict exports to bolster markets in the wake of the coronavirus pandemic.
