Although the Philippines oil company President said the Philippine government for this project negotiations to understand somewhat, but did not reveal more details about.
Reporters call cnooc digital executives, and other related departments in charge, all with each other on the politically sensitive declined to comment. But cnooc's energy economy research institute people accept our newspaper reporter to interview, says that as a national oil company, cnooc overseas business investment will inevitably and national political decision pace consistent, and at present, in China and the Philippines in the south China sea on the possibility of energy cooperation does not exist.
"Each other to release the news we can't comment on the motive, but the other side does not have the feasibility of said cooperation." Cnooc people said.
National energy expert advisory committee a authorities accept our newspaper reporter to interview is revealed, murphy is the south China sea in the exploitation of oil and gas block cooperation had signed a related agreement, but is influenced by many factors interference, the agreement is unable to finally.
"In fact the Philippines has been in focus on China in the south China sea oil exploration of the progress of China's oil company, in this area, every move is very vigilant." The above national energy expert advisory committee who said.
Be fretting gas field in the south China sea area, including Malaysia, Vietnam, Philippines, neighboring countries try to have gold mining of deep sea center tentacles to radiation.
It is worth noting that, in accordance with the traditional sea region, the Philippines Philex Petroleum oil company to develop Sampaguita of natural gas field is located in China the spratly islands area.
The above national energy expert advisory committee to our reporter who said, although the Philippines in the late nineteenth century has been mined the oil, but so far, the domestic oil production is still is not high, and the offshore oil production was most come from the BaLaWang waters in northwestern China, exploration, mainly concentrated in the direction of the area, as well as the music beach and south SuLuHai.
Our reporter understands, Sampaguita gas field is belong to the territory of ritual and music, in April this year, declared the Philippines, the state energy company in mining out of ritual and music is expected to a may be proven at present the biggest local natural gas field. But public geological structure plan shows, music beach is the remains of Chinese continental shelf, the basis for tertiary and quaternary sediments, is China's inherent territory.
"In southeast Asia, the economic level of the Philippines, especially still lag behind in other countries for oil resources around the domestic economy, the Philippines after driving designs of the cans be imagined." China's cass asia-pacific research laboratory an expert said.
In fact, the Philippines for oil from its coveted domestic energy structure will be displayed. Our reporter understands, the Philippines in energy consumption, domestic oil and natural gas accounts for a bigger chunk of were 32% and 8%, and 58.89% energy independence. "demand for energy, and the south China sea resources to control of the Philippines have ulterior motives, want to fish in troubled waters act hasn't been stopped." The above said a person of Chinese academy of sciences.
More than of southeast Asia economic problems of political concern person in authority our reporter, said that while the Philippines in the northwest BaLaWang sea, ritual and music such as the main exploration blocks of original not made new progress, but the focus of the region of the heat but never cooling, even to the sea is divided into many block foreign tender, among them, the south China sea was also in into the traditional country within a block. And in April this year the Philippines high-profile foreign announced the Sampaguita gas field exploration and actually began in 2006.
"This was the nansha islands belong to China by the Philippines field is increasingly fretting, the Philippines and a British oil company for the development of this project set up a joint venture company." The above national energy expert group who said.
Our reporter understands, Sampaguita gas field is located in the south of ritual and music, according to AFP reports, the gas field is likely to be a world-class gas field, its reserves in May 20 trillion cubic feet (56.6 billion cubic meters).
Cnooc send force in the south China sea surrounding countries fight for Marine resources successively start something, as China's largest offshore oil producers, cnooc is xu li south China sea.
According to the division standard operation, offshore drilling below 300 m for shallow water homework, more than 300 m is for deep water, more than 1500 meters belong to the deep water, but based on the China sea of the development level work equipment technology, after China in the 300 meters and the south China sea area of deep water has not yet have operation capacity alone.
"But as for the south China sea oil and gas resources, China continues to heat up the oil companies must speed up the pace of mining." The above national energy ZiXunZu people said.
May 9 days afternoon, cnooc sixth generation and semi-submersible deep water drilling platform "offshore oil 981" in the south China sea liwan 6-1 area first put it into formation, this is also the strength of the south China sea area cnooc key signal.
Our reporter understands, "Marine oil no. 981" was really a basic design by the American F&G company to undertake, the total cost is as high as 6 billion yuan, but nearly 4 billion equipment for foreign imports, including more than $100 million worth of drilling equipment, $40 million of the bop, intelligent control equipment, DP3 power position key components.
"Even though there is no international oil giant synchronization with the core technology in the face of the south China sea issue, China also need to take strategy, as far as possible to control more oil and gas field." The expert group who said.
In fact, in the face of the south China sea dispute bumps, cnooc will undoubtedly be endowed with new mission. And its determination to tap into the south China sea act of 981 drilling platform is not only the south.
Our reporter understands, April 11,, cnooc already and Italy eni company of Chinese companies is 30/27 deep water blocks south China sea products into the contract signing. According to the contract, cnooc will have the right to participate in the oil and gas business contract any found the rights and interests of up to 51%. "Now the south China sea in the countries around the block, China will also
