中国石化新闻网讯 据今日油价网站1月20日消息 据NTV电视台报道，土耳其总统Recep Tayyip Erdogan周一表示，索马里已邀请土耳其在该非洲国家领海开展海上石油勘探工作。

NTV援引路透社报道的土耳其总统的话：“因此，我们将在那里的行动中采取相关措施。”

土耳其自2011年以来一直在向索马里提供援助，此前援助该国解决饥荒问题。

索马里不是石油生产国，但地震研究表明，索马里近海可能有大量石油和天然气资源。

本月早些时候，索马里议会通过了一项新的石油法，为完善非洲国家油气勘探监管框架铺平了道路。索马里希望新的法律和收入分享框架能吸引石油巨头到索马里海域勘探石油。

Somalia Invites Turkey To Explore For Offshore Oil

Somalia has invited Turkey to carry out offshore oil exploration works in the territorial waters of the African country, Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan said on Monday, as reported by broadcaster NTV.

“Therefore, there will be steps that we will take in our operations there,” NTV quoted the Turkish president as saying, as carried by Reuters.

Turkey has been giving aid to Somalia since 2011, following a famine in the African country.

Somalia is not an oil producer, but seismic studies have shown that there could be a lot of oil and gas resources in its offshore.

Earlier this month, Somalia’s Parliament passed a new petroleum law, paving the way for completing the regulatory framework for oil and gas exploration in the African country. Somalia hopes the new law and the revenue sharing framework will attract oil majors to exploring for oil in its waters.
