据《石油世界期刊》11月18日波哥大报道，厄瓜多尔能源部长胡安·卡洛斯·贝梅奥（Juan Carlos Bermeo）周四表示，在多家能源公司开展大规模钻探活动后，厄瓜多尔希望到年底将石油日产量提高到50万桶以上。

目前厄瓜多尔的石油日产量接近48.5万桶，其中绝大部分由Petroecuador生产。这家国有公司和其他私营生产商正在进行钻井活动，试图提高产量。

贝尔梅奥告诉记者，我们正在努力以最大的增速以达到今年最大日产量超过50万桶。

厄瓜多尔正在寻求增加投资，在未来四年带来300亿美元的收入，特别是在石油、采矿和电力部门。

在石油领域，政府正在寻求将Sacha油田授予感兴趣的公司，Sacha油田是厄瓜多尔最大的油田之一，日产量为65400桶。该国政府还希望通过对该国东南部油田的新一轮招标来吸引有兴趣者。

Bermeo表示，政府不会阻止西班牙能源巨头雷普索尔（Repsol）向加拿大公司New Stratus energy出售资产。并补充道，为了让他们继续谈判和销售过程，他们需要我们的授权……我们已经给予了授权。

雷普索尔经营16号和67号区块，这两个区块的总产量为1.3万桶/天，这两个区块的合同将于2022年12月到期.

Ecuador targeting oil output above 500,000 bpd by end of 2021

Ecuador hopes to hit oil production of above 500,000 barrels per day (bpd) by the end of the year, following a massive drilling campaign by multiple energy companies, Energy Minister Juan Carlos Bermeo said on Thursday.

Oil production in Ecuador sits near 485,000 bpd currently, the vast majority of which is produced by Petroecuador. The state-owned company and other private-sector producers are conducting drilling campaigns as they try to raise output.

“We are trying to add the largest amount of production to close this year with a (rate) of over 500,000 barrels of oil (per day),” Bermeo told reporters.

Ecuador is looking to generate increased investment to bring in $30 billion over the next four years, especially in the oil, mining and electricity sectors.

In the oil sector, the government is seeking to award the Sacha field - one of Ecuador’s biggest and which has a daily production capacity of 65,400 bpd - to interested companies, and also hopes to drum up interest via a new bidding round for fields in the southeast of the country.

The government will not block the sale of assets held by Spanish energy giant Repsol to Canadian company New Stratus Energy Inc, Bermeo said.

“In order for them to continue with negotiations and sale processes, they need authorization from us (...) we have given that authorization,” he added.

Repsol operates blocks 16 and 67, which have a combined output of 13,000 bpd and where the contracts for both will run out in December 2022.
