India set to lose Farzad-B gas field in Iran: Sources

印度将失去开发伊朗“法尔扎德-B”气田的机会

NEW DELHI: India has all but lost the ONGC Videsh Ltd-discovered Farzad-B gas field in the Persian Gulf after Iran decided to prefer domestic companies over foreign firms for development of the field, sources said.

新德里：消息人士称，印度石油天然气公司Videsh ltd在波斯湾发现了法尔扎德-B气田，然而伊朗决定倾向于选择国内公司而非外国公司开发该气田后，印度几乎失去了开发该气田的机会。

ONGC Videsh Ltd (OVL), the overseas investment arm of state-owned Oil and Natural Gas Corp (ONGC), had in 2008 discovered a giant gas field in the Farsi offshore exploration block.

2008年，印度国有石油天然气公司(ONGC)的海外投资子公司ONGC Videsh Ltd (OVL)在波斯湾近海勘探区块发现了一个巨大的天然气田。

OVL and its partners had offered to invest up to $11 billion for development of the discovery, which was later named Farzad-B.

随后，OVL及其合作伙伴决定提供高达110亿美元的投资，用于开发该气田，并将该气田命名为法尔扎德-B。

After sitting over OVL's proposal for years, the National Iranian Oil Co (NIOC) informed the firm in February this year about its intention to conclude the contract for Farzad-B development with an Iranian company, sources with direct knowledge of the development said.

不过知情人士称，伊朗国家石油公司（NIOC），在考虑了OVL的提议后，在今年2月告知印度公司，打算与一家伊朗公司签订法尔扎德-B开发气田项目。

OVL, however, continued its engagements with NIOC over the development of the field and sought terms and conditions of the proposed contract for its evaluation, they said, adding that Iran has so far not responded to the Indian firm's request.

目前，印度OVL仍没有放弃，并继续针对该领域的开发与NIOC进行交涉，并寻求拟议合同的条款以进行评估，但伊朗迄今未对印度公司的要求作出回应。

Farzad-B holds total reserves of around 21.7 trillion cubic feet of which around 60 per cent is recoverable, and production is slated to be around 1.1 billion cubic feet per day.

法尔扎德-B气田的总储量约为21.7万亿立方英尺，其中可采储量约为60％，日产量预计约为11亿立方英尺。

Sources said unconfirmed information suggests that Iran has identified a local firm for the development of the field, but OVL has not yet given up hopes and continues to chase Iranian authorities for the contract.

消息人士称，未经证实的信息显示，伊朗已经确定了一家当地公司来开发该油田，但OVL尚未放弃希望，并继续向伊朗当局寻求该合同。

The 3,500 square kilometre Farsi block sits in water depth of 20-90 metres on the Iranian side of the Persian Gulf.

该气田占地面积约为3500平方公里，位于波斯湾伊朗一侧水深20-90米的地方。

If Iran had any domestic companies capable of handling this type of project, why would Iran look for foreign players in first place? Just propaganda.

如果伊朗国内有公司能够接这个项目，那伊朗为什么要把合同给外国公司呢?

这只是宣传而已。
