挪威DNO（DNO.OL）作为伊拉克库尔德地区最大石油生产商，周四表示正在探讨经叙利亚出口石油的可能性，旨在以高于当地市场的价格出售。
Norway's DNO (DNO.OL), the largest oil producer in the Kurdistan region of Iraq, said on Thursday it was looking at a possibility to export oil via Syria, with the aim of selling at a higher price than at the local market.
DNO执行主席比詹·莫萨瓦尔-拉赫马尼在投资者和分析师电话会上表示：“现在出现了一些可能性，石油可以经叙利亚运往地中海，此前因叙利亚内战这条路径关闭……我们正在研究这些可能性。”
"There are possibilities now that have opened up for movements of oil to the Mediterranean through Syria, which was previously closed due to the civil war there... We are looking at those possibilities," DNO's Executive Chairman Bijan Mossavar-Rahmani told a call with investors and analysts.
DNO目前将其陶克和佩什卡比尔油田的原油在当地市场出售，第三季度平均价格为每桶38.5美元。这较去年同期的31.2美元有所上涨，但仍远低于国际基准价。
DNO currently sells crude from its Tawke and Peshkabir fields into the local market at prices which averaged $38.5 per barrel in the third quarter. It was up from $31.2 a year ago, but still well below international benchmarks.
莫萨瓦尔-拉赫马尼说：“我们继续努力，让我们的石油重返国际市场，或以某种方式将其与国际价格挂钩。”
"We continue to work hard to get our oil back into international markets or connect it to international prices in some manner," Mossavar-Rahmani said.
DNO周四表示，计划加大钻探活动，以提高这两个油田的产量，第三季度两油田合计日产77,621桶（毛产量基准）。
DNO said on Thursday it planned to step up drilling activity to boost output from the two fields, which produced a combined 77,621 barrels of oil per day on a gross basis in the quarter.
莫萨瓦尔-拉赫马尼说：“现在大量伊拉克南部石油正通过卡车运往土耳其管道，也运往叙利亚用于出口。所以我们正在积极研究如何运输我们的石油。”知情人士此前告诉路透，7月美国支持一项提议，旨在恢复从伊拉克北部通往叙利亚地中海沿岸的原油管道，但要投入运营可能需要数年时间和数十亿美元投资。
"A lot of the southern Iraqi oil is now moving up by trucks to the pipelines of Turkey, but also to Syria for export," Mossavar-Rahmani said. "So we are actively look at how else we can move our oil." In July, the United States backed a proposal to revive the crude oil pipeline from northern Iraq to Syria's Mediterranean coast, but it can take years and billions of dollars of investments to put in operation, sources familiar with the project have told Reuters.
