据埃克森美孚公司 1 月 10 日的一份声明称，埃及已将尼罗河三角洲外缘两个海上区块的石油和天然气勘探权转让给埃克森美孚公司。

该公司的埃及子公司将运营这两个区块并持有 100% 的权益，勘探活动预计将于今年开始。

这些占地11,000平方公里的区块的授予仍有待政府进一步批准。

Egypt has assigned ExxonMobil oil and gas exploration rights to two offshore blocks in the outer Nile Delta, according to a company statement on Jan. 10.

The company's Egyptian subsidiary will operate both blocks and hold 100% interest, with exploration activities expected to start this year.

The awards for the blocks, which cover 11,000 sq km, are still subject to further government approvals.
