中国石化新闻网讯 据道琼斯4月9日消息，阿布扎比官员表示，在阿布扎比为中东最后一批大型石油许可权之一设定的投标截止期限过去近两个月之后，壳牌和BP一直未满足阿布扎比提出的22亿美元签约费的要求。
　　由于油价的大幅下挫已经冲击了全球大型油气公司，壳牌和BP不愿意增加费用支出，从而可能失去在这个海湾国家一些最大油田进行开采的机会。在为期75年的开采许可于去年1月份到期后，埃克森美孚已经退出了开采权的竞购。
　　BP和壳牌仍在争取一份为期40年的新合同，但在条款问题上陷入僵局。在法国的道达尔在1月底同意支付22亿美元的签约费换取15个陆地油田开采权的10%权益后，阿布扎比要求英国石油公司和壳牌签订同样的条款，并设定了10天的截止期限。如今截止期限已过。

　　Shell, BP Yet to Meet Abu Dhabi $2.2 Billion Sign-On Fee
　　By Summer Said and Sarah Kent
　　Nearly two months after Abu Dhabi set a deadline to bid on one of the last big oil concessions in the Middle East, Royal Dutch Shell PLC and BP PLC haven't met the emirate's demand of a $2.2 billion sign-on fee, Abu Dhabi officials said.
　　Their reluctance raises the prospect that the world's largest oil companies--reeling from low oil prices--will lose access to some of the biggest fields in the oil-rich Gulf nation. Exxon Mobil Corp. has already walked away from the concession after the companies' 75-year license expired last January.
　　BP and Shell remain contenders for a new 40-year contract, but are locked in a standoff over the terms. After Total SA of France agreed in late January to a $2.2 billion sign-on fee for a 10% interest in a concession covering 15 onshore fields, Abu Dhabi demanded the same terms from BP and Shell and set a 10-day deadline, which came and went.
