La Chine se lève aussi pour le pétrole de l'Iran
Tout le monde se lève – discrètement certes, mais sûrement – pour le pétrole iranien.
Après la France, l'Espagne, le Japon et même les USA – comme nous l'apprend Sébastien Spitzer dans son livre "Ennemis Intimes", c'est désormais la Chine qui fait les yeux doux à l'Iran, succombant aux "charmes" de son pétrole et de ses champs d'hydrocarbures.
Mais ironie du sort, ou fine stratégie de Poutine, il n'en reste pas moins que le géant gazier russe Gazprom vient de prendre le contrôle financier du gazoduc Iran-Arménie qui aurait pu à terme et après extension acheminer du gaz vers l'UE, si ses dimensions n'avaient pas été "bridées" sous la pression de la Russie. Fort heureusement, un deuxième gazoduc est en projet .. mais reste tout de même à construire.
I – La Chine en discussion pour prospecter en Iran
La compagnie pétrolière publique chinoise China National Offshore Oil Corp (CNOOC) est en discussions avec la Société nationale iranienne du pétrole (INOC) pour prospecter le gisement offshore de gaz naturel de Pars-Nord, a rapporté jeudi la presse chinoise.
Un porte-parole de CNOOC n'a pas souhaite confirmer à l'heure actuelle cette information du China Business News. Le journal chinois citait lui-même des informations de la presse d'Etat iranienne, selon lesquelles les deux parties auraient signé un protocole d'accord.
Selon cette source, CNOOC serait chargé de construire une usine de gaz naturel liquéfié et des infrastructures de transport, en contrepartie de quoi, il se verrait assuré d'un approvisionnement en gaz pendant 25 ans via l'exploitation de ce gisement à environ 85 kilomètres au nord de Pars-Sud. La Chine consomme quelque 43 milliards de m3 de gaz par an mais ses besoins pourraient atteindre 113 milliards d'ici à 2015, selon des experts.
II – Iran : appel à l'investissement dans Pars Nord
Le journal Bloomberg a rapporté en début de semaine que l'Iran allait prochainement appeler les compagnies à investir dans le champ gazier de Pars Nord. Le champ situé en offshore dont les réserves estimées s'élèvent à 58 trillion feet of gaz (n'hésitez pas à nous transmettre la conversion) devrait être développé en 4 phases.
Le gaz issu de la première phase d'extraction sera utilisée en partie pour couvrir les besoins domestiques de l'Iran, tandis que le solde sera exporté.
Découvert en 1967, pars Nord est l'un des plus grands champs gaziers de l'Iran. Il est situé à 120 km au Sud-est de Boucher, ville déjà célèbre pour sa centrale nucléaire. L' Indian Oil Corporation a d'ores et déjà bénéficié de l'attribution d'un bloc en 2005.

désolée, je n'avais pas vu votre question, je vous tiens au courant.
A mon avis , les récents évenements au Tibet ne sont peut être pas totalement à dissocier.

Successful completion of South Pars phases 4&5 gas field in Iran
Source: www.gulfoilandgas.com 4/16/2005, Location: Middle East
Propane
Eni has successfully completed the South Pars phases 4 & 5 gas field development. The project workscope includes: construction and installation of two offshore wellhead platforms, drilling of 24 gas production wells, laying of two 32 sealines (100 km each in length) to transport gas to shore and construction of a gas processing plant at Assaluyeh on the Persian Gulf (250 km south-east of Bushehr).
The completion of South Pars phases 4 & 5 is another important project successfully delivered by Eni and this has been achieved in advance of the schedule defined within the Service Contract - declared Eni’s Chief Executive Officer Vittorio Mincato during the ceremony – and we are very proud of this achievement and thankful to the Iranian Government for the trust in our Company in assigning the development of such a challenging project for us. South Pars is one of the largest gas fields in the world and the fact that Eni is trusted with this important development is a recognition of the experience, technology and competence of Eni’s Exploration & Production Division”.
The onshore gas process plant will produce 20 billion standard cubic meters of gas per year, that is currently injected in to the Iranian national grid, one million tons per year of propane/butane and 80,000 barrels per day of condensates for export. Eni equity production will exceed 50,000 barrels of liquids per day (condensate, propane, butane).
Eni is Operator for the development of South Pars phases 4 & 5 with a 60% participating interest and operates in joint venture with Petropars (20%) e Naftiran Intertrade Co. – NICO (20%)1 on behalf of the National Iranian Oil Company under a Buy- back2 Contract signed in July 2000.
With this project Eni consolidates its presence in Iran, where it has been active for over 50 years. Eni is also Operator for the development phase of Darquain oil field and participates in the joint ventures for the development of Dorood and Balal oil fields.

Iranian South Pars field is the northern extension of Qatar's giant North Field. It covers an area of 500 square miles and is located 3,000m below the seabed at a water depth of 65m. The Iranian side accounts for 10% of the world's and 60% of Iran's total gas reserves. Iran's portion of the field contains an estimated 436 trillion ft³.
The field is planned to be developed in around 30 phases, each of which will require an initial investment of around $1 billion. The first 12 phases of the development are underway and will have the capacity of 1 billion ft³ and 40,000 barrels of condensate per day.
PHASE ONE
The $770 million development is operated by Petropars (NIOC Pension Fund 60%, Industrial Development and Renovation Organisation 40%). Around $300 million of contracts were signed with Samsung and Sadra. The first stage is slated for early 2003 with a total output of 1bcf/d of gas, 40,000b/d of gas condensates.
PHASES TWO AND THREE
The $2 billion development came on stream in 2002. In total, the two identical unmanned platforms, SPD 3 and SPD 4, were placed in 65m of water. Each platform receives gas from ten deviated wells, all located within a radius of 3,000m. The platforms are linked to the onshore treatment system by two 32in diameter, 105km-long multiphase lines. It initially produced 13.5 million ft³/d of gas rising to 60 million ft³/d.
It will eventually be ramped up with the second and third phases of the project to an output of approximately 2bcf/d of natural gas and 80,000b/d of condensates. The field is operated by TotalFinaElf (40%) on behalf of Petronas (30%) and Gazprom (30%).
PHASES FOUR AND FIVE
Phases four and five are expected to be completed by 2006. The field will be operated by ENI (under a buyback contract) with Petropars holding the remaining 40%.
PHASES SIX TO EIGHT
Phases Six to Eight cost a total of $2.65 billion. The field was appraised by a three-well programme in 2001, estimating the field to contain 3 billion ft³/d gas, 120,000b/d condensate and 3,300t/d LPG.
The phase is operated by Statoil on behalf of its Iranian partner Petropars, which is operator for land side of the development. The group will be responsible for constructing three production platforms for installation about 100km from land. It will also lay a 31in pipeline from each of these facilities to a gas treatment plant on the Iranian coast.
Condensate and liquefied petroleum gases (LPG) will be separated from the gas stream at the treatment plant and exported via a new terminal being constructed nearby. The lean gas will be transported through a 500km pipeline to the Agha Jari field for injection as pressure support to help maintain oil production.
Plans call for the first stage of the project to come on stream in late 2004, with the third and final phase due to start production by the summer of 2006.
PHASES NINE TO 12
Phases Nine to 12 were bid for in 2001. The $1.6 billion contract to develop Phases nine and ten was awarded to Lucky Goldstar (LG) Construction of South Korea BP. TotalFinaElf and ENI are seeking to win contracts for Phases 11 and 12. Statoil has a dialogue with the NIOC on producing separate oil-bearing zones in the South Pars field.
Phases 13 to 14 are under bid from Shell and Repsol.
