据海上石油新闻网2019年9月23日伦敦报道，根据全球领先的数据分析公司GlobalData的一份分析报告，巴西国家石油、天然气和生物燃料管理局(ANP)希望，巴西即将进行的3轮许可证出售招标将增加在巴西的上游油气运营商的多样性，向新来者开放本国的盐下地区。

GlobalData的分析报告认为，巴西第6轮产量分成协议（PSA）和股权转让招标很有可能增加国际石油公司在盐下地区被指定为运营商的数量。盐下地区迄今仍是巴西油气产量的关键增长地区。

尽管巴西国家石油公司（巴西国油/Petrobras）保留优先经营权并在许可证出售招标中获得30%或更多的份额，巴西国会在2016年投票赞成了私营石油公司成为巴西盐下项目的运营商。

GlobalData油气分析师亚历山德罗?巴契表示：“增加运营商的数量将创造一个更具经济弹性的盐下油气行业，因为它不会只与一家公司的财务业绩挂钩，后者一旦出现财务困难可能被迫推迟项目。”

巴西最近几轮盐下地区招标吸引了英国石油公司、埃克森美孚公司、荷兰皇家壳牌公司和挪威Equinor，这些公司现在都是运营商。第6轮PSA及股权转让招标将提供4个区块的经营权以及高达100%的权益。

Brazil looking to open presalt region to newcomers

Brazil’s Agência Nacional do Petróleo, Gás Natural e Biocombustíveis (ANP) hopes three forthcoming licensing rounds will increase the diversity of upstream oil and gas operators present in Brazil, according to GlobalData.

The consultant’s analysis suggests the 6th PSA Round and the Transfer of Rights Round will likely boost the number of IOCs designated as an operator in the presalt region, which remains the country’s key growth area.

In 2016, Congress voted for private oil companies to be the operator in the presalt, although Petrobras retains the right of first refusal for operatorship and to take a share of 30% or more in license awards.

Alessandro Bacci, Oil and Gas Analyst at GlobalData, said: “Increasing the number of operators will create a more economically resilient presalt oil and gas sector because it wouldn’t be linked to the financial performance of just one company, which in case of financial difficulties could be forced to postpone projects.

Brazil’s recent presalt rounds have attracted BP, ExxonMobil, Royal Dutch Shell, and Equinor, which are all now operators. The 6th PSA round and Transfer of Rights Round will offer operatorships and up to 100% interests in four of the nine blocks on offer.
