据10月11日Offshore Energy报道，在巴西国家石油管理局(ANP)举行的第16轮招标中，法国道达尔及其合作伙伴卡塔尔石油公司(Qatar Petroleum)和马来西亚国家石油公司(Petronas)赢得了C-M-541深海区块的勘探权益。
道达尔周四表示，该盐下油田位于坎波斯盆地，水深约3000米。
道达尔将以40%的权益运营该区块，卡塔尔石油(40%)和马来西亚国家石油公司(20%)也将参与运营。该财团计划在2021年钻探第一口探井。
道达尔很高兴通过这个新的勘探区块，以及两个战略合作伙伴，扩大其在坎波斯盆地的业务范围。道达尔董事长兼首席执行官帕特里克?普雅纳（patrick pouyanné）表示，他们有能力在该集团的关键增长领域抓住高质量的勘探区域。”
他补充道：“这符合我们的战略，继续建设我们在巴西深海区域运营商的地位，在那里，我们可以增加价值，这对于我们的勘探能力。2016年，我们通过成功地与巴西石油公司展开直接谈判，收购了Lapa油田的经营权和Iara特许经营权。我们还启动了大型Mero油田的第一和第二阶段的开发。在此情况下，道达尔确认将不会参与即将到来的剩余几轮的权利转让(TOR)，因为竞争性投标只提供非经营性权益。”
在此之前，道达尔及其合作伙伴于2019年6月为Mero项目(Libra block)的第二艘FPSO项目(预计将于2022年启动)制定了FID。目前，Mero项目的第一艘FPSO正在按计划进行，计划于2021年启动。Iara项目的第一艘FPSO预计将在今年晚些时候启动，第二艘FPSO预计在2020年启动。

Total wins new deep offshore block in Brazil
French Total and its co-venturers Qatar Petroleum and Petronas have won the C-M-541 deep offshore block in the 16th Bidding Round held by Brazil’s National Petroleum Agency (ANP).
The acreage is located in the pre-salt Campos Basin in a water depth of about 3,000 meters, Total said on Thursday.
Total will operate the block with a 40% interest, alongside Qatar Petroleum (40%) and Petronas (20%). The consortium plans to drill the first exploration well in 2021.
“Total is pleased to expand its footprint in the Campos Basin with this new operated exploration block, alongside two strategic partners. It is another demonstration of our ability to seize high quality exploration acreage in a key growth area for the Group,” said Patrick Pouyanné, Chairman and CEO of Total.
“This is in line with our strategy to continue building our operator positions in Brazil’s deep offshore, where we can add value thanks to our deepwater competencies. It follows on from our acquisition in 2016, through successful direct negotiations with Petrobras, of operatorship of the Lapa field and an interest in the Iara concession. We have also launched development phases 1 and 2 of the giant Mero field. In this context, Total confirms that it will not participate in the upcoming Transfer-of-Rights (TOR) Surplus Round, as the competitive tender is only offering non-operated interests.”
This entry into a new block follows the FID made by Total and its partners in June 2019 for the second FPSO of the Mero project (Libra Block), which is expected to start up in 2022. Currently under construction, the first FPSO of the Mero project is progressing according to schedule, with start-up planned in 2021. The first FPSO of the Iara project is expected to start up later this year and the second one in 2020.
