据路透社2月22日内罗毕报道,图洛石油公司高管上周五表示,公司与肯尼亚地方当局达成协议,允许图洛石油泵水给油井加压,这对肯尼亚唯一一个石油项目的最后批准至关重要,该公司可能会推迟到第三季度。
图洛石油公司与合作伙伴道达尔和非洲石油正致力于在年底前达成最终投资决定(FID),并于上周表示希望在第二季度与政府达成供水协议。
图洛石油公司肯尼亚总经理Martin Mbogo告诉路透社:“在达成协议的问题上,我更倾向于第三季度。”他提到了图洛在肯尼亚西北部的两个县开发水源的方式,"这是我们进入FID之前绝对需要的东西之一。"
图洛估计,肯尼亚在图尔卡纳省的陆上油田拥有5.6亿桶石油,预计从2022年起,这些油田的日产量将达到10万桶。

Water deal crucial for Kenya oil project might slip into Q3-Tullow
A deal with local Kenyan authorities that would allow Tullow Oil to pump water to pressurise oil wells, crucial for a final green light for the country’s only oil project, may be slightly delayed to the third quarter, a Tullow executive said on Friday.
Tullow, with partners Total and Africa Oil , is working towards a final investment decision (FID) by year-end and said last week it had hoped to conclude the deal on water supply with the authorities in the second quarter.
“I would probably realistically put it more for Q3 in terms of landing that agreement,” Tullow’s Kenya Managing Director Martin Mbogo told Reuters, referring to the deal organising the way Tullow can tap a body of water straddling two counties in northwestern Kenya.
