據海上能源12月13日報道，日前，卡塔爾能源公司(QatarEnergy)已與殼牌公司(Shell)達成協議，收購紅海埃及一側兩個海上勘探區塊的開采權益。

這家卡塔爾國有公司周一透露，根據須經埃及政府批準的協議條款，卡塔爾能源公司將持有紅海3號和4號區塊17%的工作權益。

卡塔爾能源公司總裁兼首席執行官、能源事務國務部長薩阿德·謝里達·卡比（Saad Sherida Al-Kaabi）在評論達成這些協議時表示，我們對這一重要進展感到高興，因為它代表著卡塔爾能源進入阿拉伯埃及共和國成熟的上游油氣行業，并為財團合作伙伴探索這一前沿領域提供了機會。

2019年底授予殼牌3號區塊，面積3097平方公里，水深100米至1000米；4號區塊也于2019年底授予殼牌，占地3084平方公里，水深為150米至500米。

相關協議完成后，這兩個區塊的開采權益分配：對于3號區塊，殼牌作為運營商將持有43%的權益，必和必拓(BHP)持有30%的權益，塔瓦石油公司(Tharwa Petroleum Company)持有10%，卡塔爾能源公司持有17%。

對于4號區塊，殼牌將持有21%的權益，穆巴達拉將持有27%，必和必拓將持有25%，塔瓦石油公司有10%，卡塔爾能源公司持有17%。

除10號區塊外，這是卡塔爾能源公司在塞浦路斯的第二個勘探區塊，該區塊于2017年授予同一財團，并于2019年2月宣布格勞科斯（Glaucus）天然氣發現，估計現有天然氣資源為5萬億-8萬億立方英尺。
