中國石化新聞網訊 據路透社4月2日報道，巴西國家石油管理局（ANP）周三批準暫停第17輪石油天然氣勘探和生產權益招標。

ANP在一份新聞稿中表示，鑒于當前經濟的不確定性，礦業和能源部決定暫停起草文件和合同等拍賣前程序。國家能源政策委員會（CNPE）將為拍賣過程制定一個新的時間表，ANP也在等待CNPE就計劃在2020-2021年進行的招標回合做出決定。

Brazil's ANP suspends oil, gas bidding rounds due to coronavirus

Brazil’s oil and gas regulator ANP on Wednesday approved the temporary suspension of the 17th round of auction bids for exploration and production rights planned for this year due to the coronavirus health crisis.

In a press release, the ANP said its action followed the Mines and Energy Ministry’s decision to suspend pre-auction procedures such as the drafting of documents and contracts in light of the current economic uncertainty.

The National Energy Policy Council (CNPE) will draw up a new timetable for the auction process, the ANP said, adding that is also awaiting a decision from the CNPE regarding the bidding rounds scheduled for the 2020-2021 period.
