印度石油部长在 1 月 13 日的讲话中表示,全球能源巨头雪佛龙公司、埃克森美孚公司和 TotalEnergies 有兴趣投资印度的石油和天然气勘探与生产行业。

印度是世界第三大石油进口国和消费国,其84%以上的石油需求从海外购买,并希望迅速将其碳氢化合物储备货币化,以减少对昂贵进口的依赖。

哈迪普·辛格·普里表示:“印度准备探索联合开发石油和天然气资产的机会,以实现互惠互利,并邀请对我们国内勘探与生产行业的投资。”

这位部长补充说,印度的目标是到 2025 年将石油和天然气勘探面积增加一倍,达到 50 万平方公里。

Global energy majors Chevron Corp., Exxon Mobil Corp. and TotalEnergies are interested in investing in India's oil and gas E&P sector, the country's oil minister said in a speech on Jan. 13.

India, the world's third biggest oil importer and consumer, buys more than 84% of its oil needs from overseas and wants to quickly monetize its hydrocarbon reserves to reduce its dependence on costly imports.

"India is ready to explore opportunities for joint development production of oil and gas assets for mutual benefit and also invites investment in our domestic E&P sector," Hardeep Singh Puri said.

The minister added that India aims to double the area under oil and gas exploration to 500,000 sq km by 2025.
