中国石化新闻网讯,据华尔街日报5月30日伊斯坦布尔消息,土耳其国有能源公司土耳其石油天然气公司(TPAO),收购了法国道达尔公司在阿塞拜疆ShazDeniz天然气项目中的10%的股权,使土耳其石油公司成为这个多国项目第二大合作伙伴。这个项目旨在向欧洲出口里海天然气,以取代欧洲从俄罗斯进口天然气。
根据道达尔在巴黎发表的声明,这笔价值15亿美元的交易使总部位于安卡拉的TPAO公司在此项目中的股份由9%上升到19%。
由英国石油巨头BP领导的Shah Deniz气田作业,还包括阿国油(SOCAR),挪国油(Statoil)和俄罗斯卢克石油(Lukoil)。
“有了这个协议,我们将成为在里海的所有项目的合作伙伴,”土耳其能源部长塔纳尔·伊尔迪兹周五表示。
自从俄罗斯吞并克里米亚引发与乌克兰的地区危机之后,欧洲各国再次努力改善他们的能源安全,以摆脱莫斯科对他们天然气的控制。俄罗斯提供欧盟的消费量的30%,使它成为28国集团中最大的能源供应商。
道达尔表示,退出这项合作伙伴关系是其200亿美元资产出售计划的一部分。

ISTANBUL—Turkish Petroleum Corp., the state-run energy company known as TPAO, bought French firm Total 's 10% stake in Azerbaijan's Shah Deniz gas project, making Turkey the second-biggest partner in a multinational effort to export Caspian resources to Europe as it seeks alternatives to Russian imports.
The deal increases Ankara-based TPAO's stake in the project to 19% from 9% previously, and is worth $1.5 billion, according to a statement from Total in Paris. U.K. oil giant BP PLC leads Shah Deniz operations, which also include the State Oil Company of Azerbaijan Republic, known as SOCAR, Norway's Statoil , and Lukoil OAO of Russia.
"With this agreement, we will become a partner in all projects in the Caspian," Turkish Energy Minister TanerYildiz said Friday.
Ever since Ukraine tensions led to a regional crisis with Russia annexing Crimea from Kiev, European officials have renewed their efforts to improve energy security byweaning the continent off from Moscow-controlled natural gas resources. Russia supplies some 30% of the European union's consumption, making it the biggest energy provider to the 28-nation bloc.
