据世界石油6月1日消息称，美国石油巨头埃克森美孚宣布退出加纳的一处深水石油勘探项目，而就在两年前，这个西非国家刚刚批准了与埃克森美孚签订的一项勘探和生产协议。
彭博社和知情人士看到的一封致加纳政府的信显示，该公司在最初勘探期间履行了合同义务后，放弃了在深水角Three Points区块的全部股权，并辞去了运营商的职务。
埃克森美孚持有该区块80%的股权，国有的加纳国家石油公司和加纳石油公司分别持有15%和5%。知情人士说，这两个合作伙伴现在必须为该区块寻找新的运营商。
知情人士说，到目前为止，埃克森美孚所做的工作包括处理约2200平方公里的地震数据，但没有钻探任何勘探井。

Exxon walks away from stake in deepwater Ghana block
Exxon Mobil is pulling out of a deep-water oil prospect in Ghana just two years after the west African nation ratified an exploration and production agreement with the U.S. oil titan.
The company relinquished the entirety of its stake in the Deepwater Cape Three Points block and resigned as its operator after fulfilling its contractual obligations during the initial exploration period, according to a letter to Ghana’s government seen by Bloomberg and people familiar with the matter.
Exxon controlled 80% of the block, with state-owned Ghana National Petroleum Corp. holding 15% and Ghana Oil Co., the remaining 5%. The two partners will now have to search for a new operator for the block, the people said.
The work done so far included processing about 2,200 square kilometers (850 square miles) of seismic data, but Exxon didn’t drill any exploration wells, the people said.
