據世界能源7月7日消息：繼緬甸之后，浦項制鐵國際將在印尼推進一個大型油氣田的開發。

　　6月中旬，該公司與印尼國有企業PHE簽署了聯合調查協議(JSA)。該協議旨在評估一個已發現碳氫化合物的11,515平方公里海上油田的勘探前景。總儲量尚未確認。但印尼國家石油公司表示，上世紀90年代的初步調查發現，其儲量和商業可行性是足夠的。

　　印尼國家石油公司(Pertamina)是一家國有石油和天然氣公司，由印尼政府全資控股。它擁有煉油設施和獨家分銷網絡，可以處理印尼90%的石油。它還積極與韓國進出口銀行等金融機構合作開發資源。浦項制鐵國際的一位官員表示:“我們將用大約8個月的時間評估勘探前景，然后再做出最終決定。”

　　如果浦項制鐵獲得該礦的開采權，這將是東南亞僅次于緬甸的第二大油氣田項目。這是一個利潤非常豐厚的項目，每年的營業利潤在3000億到4000億韓元之間。

　　POSCO International to Develop Gas Field in Indonesia

　　POSCO International will push for the development of a large-scale oil and gas field in Indonesia following Myanmar.

　　The company signed a joint survey agreement (JSA) with Indonesia's state-run company PHE in the middle of June. The agreement is to evaluate the exploration prospects of an 11,515-square-kilometer offshore mine where hydrocarbons have been found. Hydrocarbons come from oil and gas fields. The total reserves have not been /confirm/ied. But a preliminary survey in the 1990s found out that its reserves and business feasibility are sufficient, Pertamina said.

　　Pertamina is a state-run oil and gas corporation, which is 100 percent owned by the Indonesian government. It has refining facilities and an exclusive distribution network that can handle 90 percent of Indonesia's oil. It is also actively working with Korean financial institutions such as the Export-import Bank of Korea to develop resources. "We will evaluate the exploration prospects for about eight months before making a final decision," a POSCO International official said.

　　If POSCO International secures the right to explore the mine, it will be the second largest oil and gas field project in Southeast Asia .It is a highly lucrative project that makes between 300 billion and 400 billion won in operating profit per year.
