中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社2月22日曼谷报道，泰国能源部长Siri Jirapongphan周四在曼谷对采访他的媒体记者说，泰国预计两个气田埃拉万气田和Bongkot气田的拍卖条款将在4月份准备就绪，比此前表明的时间晚了一个月。

泰国能源部长说，拍卖条款将在3月份提交给泰国国家能源政策委员会，而拍卖将在4月份向投标者宣布。

他说，中标者的条件包括在价格不高于目前水平的情况下把两个气田的联合天然气产量水平至少维持在15亿立方英尺/天。

泰国政府的统计数据显示，埃拉万气田和Bongkot气田目前每天共同生产21亿立方英尺的天然气。泰国的许多气田迄今已产气数十年，天然气产量一直在下降中，而中标者预计将保持基线生产水平。

Thailand Pushes Erawan And Bongkot Gas Field Auctions To April

Thailand expects auction terms for its petroleum gas fields to be ready in April, a month later than previously indicated, Energy Minister Siri Jirapongphan told reporters on Thursday.

The auction terms will be submitted to the National Energy Policy Council in March and the auction will be announced to bidders in April, Siri said.

Conditions for the winners include maintaining a combined output level in the two fields of at least 1.5 billion cubic feet per day at prices not higher than current levels, he said.

The Erawan and Bongkot fields currently have combined output of 2.1 billion cubic feet a day, government data shows. Many of Thailand's gas fields have been producing for decades and are in decline, and the tender winners will be expected to maintain baseline production levels.
