Recently, Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (ADNOC) announced on behalf of the UAE's Supreme Petroleum Council the details of the first ever competitive bid round for new licensing opportunities for the exploration, development and production of oil and gas in the Emirate.

近日，阿布扎比国家石油公司(ADNOC)，代表阿联酋最高石油委员会公布了新油气区块首轮勘探、生产权益招标细节。

Six blocks have been announced for commercially competitive bidding in this first round, two of which are offshore and four are onshore. The area ranges from 2500 to 6,300 km2 and the total area is about 30,000 km2. Following the bid round, the successful bidders will enter agreements that, providing defined targets are achieved in the exploration phase, will give them the opportunity to then develop and produce any discoveries with ADNOC, under terms that will be set out in the bidding package.

此轮共公布了6个区块，其中有2个海上石油区块，4个陆上石油区块，面积从2500到6300平方公里不等，总面积约为30000平方公里。中标者将被授予勘探权，如果在勘探阶段达到约定的目标，将与ADNOC共同开发生产被发现的油气资源。

ADNOC has established a dedicated website for bidding (www.adnoc.ae/Block-Bid). The deadline for receiving bids is October 2018, after which ADNOC will conduct bid evaluation. The first round of bidding will end at the end of 2018. 

ADNOC已建立专门网站（www.adnoc.ae/Block-Bid）进行招标，接收标书的截止日期为2018年10月，之后ADNOC会进行评标。首轮招标将于2018年年底结束。

The UAE is the world’s seventh largest oil producer, with 96% of its reserves within the Emirate of Abu Dhabi. It is located in one of the world’s largest hydrocarbon super-basins where there remains significant undiscovered and undeveloped potential in the numerous stacked reservoirs.

阿联酋是世界第七大石油生产国，其96％的石油储备位于阿布扎比酋长国境内。 它位于世界上最大的碳氢化合物超级盆地之一，在众多的矿床中仍然存在未被发现和未开发的潜力。

Based on existing data from detailed petroleum system studies, seismic surveys, log files and core samples from hundreds of appraisal wells, estimates suggest these new blocks hold multiple billion barrels of oil and multiple trillion cubic feet of natural gas. In addition to the country’s conventional potential, the offered blocks also contain significant unconventional resources.

来自油气系统研究，地震勘探，数百个评估井的测井文件和核心样品等现有数据表明，这些新区块拥有数十亿桶石油和数万亿立方英尺的天然气。除了该国的传统（石油）潜力外，这些区块还包含重要的非常规资源。
