中国石化新闻网讯 据海上能源4月17日报道，卡塔尔国有能源巨头卡塔尔能源公司和纳米比亚矿业和能源部签署了一份谅解备忘录，旨在加强在能源领域的合作。

旨在为继续合作铺平道路的该谅解备忘录，涵盖知识共享、劳动力发展和探索在纳米比亚的进一步投资机会等领域。

卡塔尔能源事务国务大臣、卡塔尔能源公司首席执行官Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi和纳米比亚共和国矿业和能源部长Tom Alweendo在卡塔尔能源公司多哈总部举行的签字仪式上签署了该协议。

Al-Kaabi表示，“我们很高兴进一步加强与纳米比亚政府的合作，并在我们最近取得的成功的基础上再接再厉。这项协议进一步加强了我们的关系，我们将共同努力建设一个繁荣的未来”。

卡塔尔能源最近宣布在纳米比亚南部近海Orange盆地的Jonker-1X井发现轻质油，这是继去年在同一盆地获得两个独立的石油和伴生天然气发现之后的又一个发现。

这家卡塔尔能源巨头持有纳米比亚近海三个勘探许可区的权益，包括PEL-39油田45%的权益、PEL-56油田30%的权益和PEL-91油田28.33%的权益，总面积超过2.8万平方公里。

就最近的其他活动而言，值得注意的是，卡塔尔能源公司于3月底与埃克森美孚公司签订了一项关于加拿大纽芬兰和拉布拉多近海两个勘探许可区的转让协议。

据称，这笔交易将使卡塔尔公司能够扩大其在大西洋加拿大段的海上勘探投资组合。

QatarEnergy and Namibia’s ministry ink deal for energy cooperation

Qatar’s state-owned energy giant QatarEnergy and Namibia’s Ministry of Mines and Energy have signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with the aim of strengthening cooperation in the energy sector.

The MoU, said to pave the way for continued cooperation, covers areas such as knowledge sharing, workforce development and exploring further investment opportunities in Namibia.

The agreement was signed by Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi, Qatar’s Minister of State for Energy Affairs, the President and CEO of QatarEnergy, and Tom Alweendo, Minister of Mines and Energy of the Republic of Namibia, in a signing ceremony held at QatarEnergy’s headquarters in Doha.

“We are pleased to further enhance our cooperation with the Government of Namibia and build on our recent successes. This agreement further strengthens our relationship as we work jointly towards a prosperous future,” said Minister Al-Kaabi.

QatarEnergy recently announced a light oil discovery in the Jonker-1X well in the Orange Basin offshore southern Namibia, adding to the previous two separate oil and associated gas discoveries in the same basin last year.

The Qatari energy giant holds interests in three exploration licenses offshore Namibia, including 45 per cent in PEL-39, 30 per cent in PEL-56, and 28.33 per cent in PEL-91, covering a total area of over 28,000 km2.

In terms of other recent activities, it is worth noting that at the end of March QatarEnergy entered into a farm-in agreement for two exploration licenses offshore Newfoundland and Labrador in Canada with ExxonMobil.

The deal is said to allow the Qatari player to expand its offshore exploration portfolio in Atlantic Canada.
