据离岸工程网站4月22日消息 圭亚那政府周二表示，30多家公司，包括贡沃尔和维多等大宗商品交易商以及埃克森美孚和荷兰皇家壳牌等石油巨头的子公司，都提交了一份合约意向书，以出售圭亚那政府在该国原油中的份额。

圭亚那国家采购和招标委员会在周二上午截止日期后公布了这些投标。其他提交意向书的主要公司包括Mercuria、卢克石油、Equinor、道达尔、Glencore、巴西石油和沙特阿美。

圭亚那是一个经济欠发达的南美国家，去年加入了世界石油生产国行列，当时埃克森美孚领导的财团开始从多产的海上Stabroek区块开采原油，在那里，圭亚那与合作方赫斯公司一起发现了80多亿桶可采资源。

政府有权在收回成本后获得一半的石油产量，但由于国内没有炼油能力，也没有国家石油公司，政府正在寻求第三方帮助其出售石油。政府去年与壳牌达成了一项协议，将其前三批货物运走。

目前的招标是政府在2月份开始，为期12个月的合同，至少要处理5次每次100万桶的量。

30+ Companies Compete for Guyana Crude Trading Deal

More than 30 companies, including commodities traders like Gunvor and Vitol as well as units of oil majors like Exxon Mobil and Royal Dutch Shell, submitted expressions of interest for a contract to market the Guyanese government's share of the country's crude, the government said on Tuesday.

The National Procurement and Tender Board administration unveiled the bids after their Tuesday morning deadline. Other major companies submitting expressions of interest included units of Mercuria, Lukoil, Equinor, Total, Glencore, Petrobras and Aramco.

Guyana, a poor South American country, joined the world's oil producers last year when an Exxon-led consortium began extracting crude from the prolific offshore Stabroek block, where it has discovered more than 8 billion barrels of recoverable resource alongside partners Hess Corp .

The government is entitled to half of all oil produced after cost recovery, but with no domestic refining capacity or national oil company, it is seeking a third party to help it sell the oil. The government reached a deal with Shell last year to lift its first three cargoes.

The current search, which the government opened in February, is for a 12-month contract to handle at least five lifts of 1 million barrels each.
