利比里亚周三启动了2026年石油和天然气拍卖轮次，其监管机构表示，将通过直接谈判提供29个海上区块，以吸引国际石油公司并促进勘探。
Liberia on Wednesday launched its 2026 oil and gas auction round, offering direct negotiations on 29 offshore blocks to try to attract international oil companies and boost exploration, its regulatory authority said.
目前尚未产出任何石油的西非国家在开普敦的能源会议上展示了其利比里亚盆地和哈珀盆地。在2024年上一轮拍卖中，签署了八份生产分享合同，法国石油巨头道达尔能源（TTEF.PA）获得四个区块，尼日利亚的奥兰托石油公司另获四个区块。
在宣传材料中，利比里亚石油监管局表示，其哈珀盆地正受到关注，原因是其地质特性与邻国科特迪瓦石油系统相似，而埃尼（ENI.MI）正是在那里发现了大型巴莱因和卡拉奥油田。
The West African country, which currently does not produce any oil, showcased its Liberia and Harper Basins at an energy conference in Cape Town During the last auction round in 2024, eight production sharing contracts were signed, with French oil major TotalEnergies(TTEF.PA) awarded four blocks and Nigeria's Oranto Petroleum another four blocks In promotional material, the Liberia Petroleum Regulatory Authority said its Harper Basin was attracting attention due to similar geological properties found in the petroleum system of neighbouring Ivory Coast where Eni (ENI.MI) discovered its large Baleine and Calao fields
