埃及和巴勒斯坦官员表示,埃及的目标是接管加沙海上天然气田的开发,这将提振现金短缺的巴勒斯坦经济。

尽管埃及和以色列多年来一直在东地中海生产天然气,但由于与以色列的政治争端和冲突以及经济因素,距离加沙海岸约30公里(20英里)的加沙海洋油田一直未得到开发。

该项目最后由石油巨头壳牌公司掌控,该公司于 2018 年放弃了其股份。巴勒斯坦人一直在寻找新的外国集团来接管。根据当时的内阁决定,巴勒斯坦公司将保留至少 55% 的股份。

Egypt is Set to Take Part in Developing Gaza's Offshore Gas Field: Officials

"Development may take time to start once an agreement is concluded," a Palestinian official told Reuters, continuing, "The project would be a vital tool to improve Palestinian economy."

Egypt is aiming to take over development of Gaza's offshore natural gas field, Egyptian and Palestinian officials said, in what would be a boost for the cash-strapped Palestinian economy.

While Egypt and Israel have been producing gas in the eastern Mediterranean for years, the Gaza Marine field, about 30 km (20 miles) off the Gaza coast, has remained undeveloped due to political disputes and conflict with Israel, as well as economic factors.

The project was last in the hands of oil major Shell, which gave up its stake in 2018. The Palestinians have been looking for a new foreign group to take over. Palestinian companies would keep at least 55% of the shares, according to a cabinet decision at the time.
