中国石化新闻网讯 据美国彭博新闻社3月19日巴格达报道，欧佩克第二大产油国伊拉克时下正在加大力度来扩大开采和出口石油的能力，伊拉克制定的计划包括把海水注入油田以及在位于波斯湾的一个人工岛上建造石油出口设施。

国营巴士拉石油公司总经理贾巴尔日前在一次采访中说，伊拉克时下正在寻求来自6家公司对一个估计40亿美元项目的投标。这个项目将把海水注入伊拉克南部的油田来从这些油田中开采出更多的原油。

贾巴尔说，巴士拉石油公司迄今已收到5家公司的报价。这5家公司有兴趣建造一个处理设施把马季努恩油田的石油日产量提高一倍至200万桶。但他没有披露投标公司的名字。

贾巴尔在巴士拉说，伊拉克时下还在研究一家荷兰公司提出的有关在位于波斯湾的一个人工岛上建造1000万桶储存设施和一个具有200万桶/天能力的石油出口设施。

Iraq mulls building an island to boost oil-exporting capacity

OPEC’s second-biggest producer is ramping up efforts to expand capacity to pump and export oil, with plans that include the injection of seawater into crude deposits and the construction of export facilities on a man-made island in the Persian Gulf.

Iraq is seeking bids from six companies for an estimated $4-billion project to inject seawater into its southern oil fields to dislodge more crude from the deposits, Ihsan Abdul Jabbar, the director-general of state-run Basra Oil Co., said in an interview. The country has already received bids from five companies interested in building a processing facility to double output at the Majnoon field to 450,000 bpd, he said, without identifying the bidders.

Iraq is also studying a proposal with a Dutch company to build a 10-MMbbl storage facility and an oil-exporting terminal with a capacity of 2 MMbpd -- all on an artificial island off the country’s Gulf coast, Abdul Jabbar said in Basra.
