据路透社4月17日开罗报道，荷兰皇家壳牌石油公司执行副总裁Sami Iskander在周二的新闻发布会上说，该公司将恢复在埃及地中海沿岸的石油和天然气的深水勘探。

埃及正在寻求从最近发现的油田的产量以在2019年停止能源进口。

一位石油部官员上个月说，壳牌的西尼罗河三角洲地区9B油田的新产量预计到2019年将达到每天3.5-4亿立方英尺/日。

此外，该油田首批3口油井的生产将定在2018-2019财年开始。

该油田由埃及石油公司(Egypt's General Petroleum Corporation, EGPC)、马来西亚的马来西亚石油公司(Petronas)和壳牌(Shell)所有。

Royal Dutch shell to resume deep-water exploration off Egypt

Royal Dutch Shell said it will resume deep-water exploration for oil and gas off Egypt's Mediterranean coast, Executive Vice President Sami Iskander told a news conference on Tuesday.

Egypt is looking to production from recently discovered fields to halt energy imports by 2019.

A petroleum ministry official said last month that new production at Shell's West Nile Delta field 9B is expected to reach 350-400 million cubic feet per day by 2019.

Separately, production from the first 3 wells in the field is set to begin in the 2018-2019 fiscal year.

The field is owned by Egypt's General Petroleum Corporation (EGPC), Malaysia's Petronas and Shell.
