據(jù)天然氣新聞2020年10月12日迪拜報(bào)道，國(guó)有沙迦國(guó)家石油公司(SNOC)首席執(zhí)行官Hatem al-Mosa近日告訴記者，盡管發(fā)生了新冠肺炎疫情以及意大利石油巨頭埃尼公司削減了資本支出和成本，這家意大利石油公司仍將在阿聯(lián)酋第3大酋長(zhǎng)國(guó)沙迦酋長(zhǎng)國(guó)繼續(xù)推進(jìn)一個(gè)天然氣項(xiàng)目。

今年1月份，SNOC和埃尼公司表示，埃尼公司是SNOC在沙迦B區(qū)塊的一個(gè)合作伙伴，他們?cè)谶@個(gè)區(qū)塊里發(fā)現(xiàn)了馬哈尼氣田，其所鉆的第一口井獲得了5000萬(wàn)立方英尺/天的貧氣和伴生凝析油流量。沙迦酋長(zhǎng)國(guó)是組成阿聯(lián)酋的7個(gè)酋長(zhǎng)國(guó)之一。

Hatem al-Mosa表示：“我們沒(méi)有看到埃尼公司對(duì)其所占開(kāi)發(fā)份額的融資產(chǎn)生任何影響?！薄白詮墨@得馬哈尼天然氣發(fā)現(xiàn)以來(lái)，我們一直在實(shí)施我們的投產(chǎn)這口氣田的計(jì)劃，同時(shí)制定旨在劃定已發(fā)現(xiàn)氣田界限的計(jì)劃。”

7月20日，埃尼公司宣布，由于油價(jià)暴跌和新冠肺炎疫情的影響，埃尼公司將削減26億歐元(31億美元)的資本支出，主要削減用于上游業(yè)務(wù)的資本支出。

埃尼公司計(jì)劃今年的資本支出比原預(yù)算低35%左右，2021年低30%，預(yù)計(jì)明年將削減24億歐元。埃尼公司當(dāng)時(shí)表示，削減資本支出“幾乎完全集中在勘探開(kāi)發(fā)部門(mén)”。

埃尼公司首席執(zhí)行官德斯卡爾西表示，考慮到未來(lái)仍將出現(xiàn)“巨大的不確定性跡象”，今年和明年均削減14億歐元的運(yùn)營(yíng)成本也將使埃尼公司處于更好的狀態(tài)。

Eni going ahead with Sharjah gas project despite COVID-19, capex cuts: UAE's SNOC

Eni is going ahead with a gas project in the UAE's third largest emirate despite COVID-19 and the Italian company's capital expenditures and cost cuts, the CEO of state-owned Sharjah National Oil Corp., or SNOC,said.

Eni is a partner with SNOC in Block B in Sharjah, where it discovered the Mahani reservoir, with the first drilled well achieving flow rates of up to 50 MMcf/d of lean gas and associated condensate, SNOC and Eni said in January. Sharjah is one of the seven emirates that forms the UAE.

"We have not seen any impact from Eni on the financing of their share of the development," said Hatem al-Mosa. "Since that discovery, we have been moving with our plans to bring the well on stream while making plans for delineating the discovered reservoir and finding out how big it is."

Eni announced on July 20 capital spending cuts of Eur2.6 billion ($3.1 billion), mainly in its upstream business, due to the collapse in oil prices a Eni's planned capital spending is about 35% lower than its original budget for 2020 and 30% lower for 2021, with Eur2.4 billion in anticipated cuts next year. The curtailments are "almost fully focused on the E&P segment," Eni said at the time.

CEO Claudio Descalzi said operational cost cutting of Eur1.4 billion both this year and next will also put the company in better shape, given "great signs of uncertainty still to come."
