　　能源部長Diego Mesa在接受采訪時(shí)說，荷蘭皇家殼牌公司計(jì)劃今年在加勒比地區(qū)進(jìn)行鉆探，而埃克森美孚公司、雷普索爾和國家控制的 Ecopetrol SA 公司將在 2022 年效仿。

　　Mesa說:“國際石油公司更關(guān)注海上石油的潛力。他們正在努力為明年購買鉆井平臺(tái)。”埃克森美孚和雷普索爾的發(fā)言人沒有立即回復(fù)記者的置評請求。

　　哥倫比亞的勘探是在南美洲開展業(yè)務(wù)的大型石油公司尋找大型海上油田的更廣泛努力的一部分，與此形成對比的是，在歐洲，同樣的一些公司已經(jīng)縮減了在北海的原油投資，將資金投入到可再生能源領(lǐng)域。隨著鉆井船隊(duì)的增長，今年巴西、蘇里南和圭亞那的深水鉆井活動(dòng)正在增加。

　　哥倫比亞預(yù)計(jì)將在10月份授予至少5兆瓦的可再生能源項(xiàng)目合同，從2023年開始為工業(yè)用戶和大型企業(yè)提供能源。

　　Colombia anticipates new offshore oil exploration to reverse crude output decline

　　Oil majors are gearing up to explore off the coast of Colombia, offering hope to a country struggling to reverse declines in reserves and output of its biggest export.

　　Royal Dutch Shell Plc is planning to drill this year in the Caribbean, while Exxon Mobil Corp., Repsol SA and state-controlled Ecopetrol SA will follow suit in 2022, Energy Minister Diego Mesa said in an interview.

　　“International oil companies are more focused on the offshore potential,” Mesa said. “They are working on getting the rigs for next year.” Spokespeople for Exxon and Repsol didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment.

　　Colombia’s exploration is part of a wider effort by major oil companies operating in South America to hunt for massive offshore fields, in contrast to Europe, where some of the same companies have scaled back crude investments in the North Sea to plow money into renewable energy. Deep-water drilling is on the rise in Brazil, Suriname and Guyana this year with rig fleets growing.

　　While explorers including Petroleo Brasileiro SA have struck oil and gas in Colombia’s deep waters, none of the fields have been brought into production yet. The success of further exploration and development is key to offsetting the decline in conventional oil fields on land that has been in production for decades.

　　Mesa expects output to rebound from here and average 790,000 for the year. The rise in oil prices has encouraged more onshore drilling, he said.

　　The country also has 32 onshore and offshore blocks up for grabs this year, including “frontier basins” in the Pacific. Mesa expects 10-15 blocks to eventually be awarded.

　　Colombia expects to award renewable energy contracts in October for projects with at least 5 megawatts of capacity to supply industrial users and large corporations starting in 2023.?
