2024年5月，在伊拉克举行的第五轮+与第六轮油气区块招标轮中，多家国际石油公司积极参与，中国企业表现亮眼，共获得10处油气田的开发权。联合能源成功中标获得伊拉克南部FAO油气区块的勘探开发权，并担任作业者。这是继成功开发9区油田及Siba气田后，联合能源在伊拉克获得的又一油气区块，进一步扩大了集团在伊拉克优质油气资产区的作业份额。

Numerous international oil companies actively participated in the Fifth-plus and Sixth Licensing Round in May. Chinese companies performed well and won the bids for 10 oil and gas fields. UEG successfully obtained the FAO oil and gas field in southern Iraq with an excellent remuneration percentage, becoming the field’s operator. This is the third oil and gas field acquired by UEG in Iraq after the successful development of the Block-9 Oil Field and the Siba Gas Field, further expanding the Group's operating share of high-quality oil and gas assets in Iraq.

FAO作为伊拉克最大的油港，是连接波斯湾的咽喉之地，它靠近阿拉伯河河口，其战略地位不言而喻。联合能源中标的FAO油气区块位于油气富集带，毗邻伊拉克、科威特、伊朗三国边界线，总面积 1,398 平方公里，预估地质储量超过60亿桶油气当量。FAO地区除上游油气开发外，还兼具下游炼化、油品贸易、新能源等项目开发潜力，未来发展前景广阔。

FAO, the largest oil port in Iraq, has a strategic location connected to the Persian Gulf and close to the mouth of the Shatt al-Arab River. The FAO field is in an oil and gas rich zone adjacent to the borders of Kuwait and Iran. It spans an area of 1,398 square kilometers, with estimated geological reserves exceeding 6 billion barrels of oil and gas. In addition to upstream oil and gas development, FAO also offers potential for downstream refining, oil product trading, new energy, and other projects, with huge potential for future growth.

下一步，联合能源将充分发挥自身在油气领域的专业技术，借鉴Siba气田和Faihaa油田开发的成功经验，加快推进FAO区块的勘探开发进程。同时，联合能源也将坚守互利共赢、共同发展原则，加强与当地政府和相关部门的沟通与协作，力求早日将FAO区块建成中型规模油气田，为伊拉克的能源事业的蓬勃发展持续贡献力量。

In the next phase, UEG will leverage its expertise in the oil and gas sector, drawing on its successful experiences from the Siba Gas Field and Faihaa Oil Field, for the exploration and development of the FAO field in a responsible and sustainable manner. UEG will continue to adhere to the principles of mutual advantage, enhancing communication and collaboration with local government and relevant departments. The goal is to develop the FAO field into a medium-sized oil and gas field as quickly as possible, contributing to the growth of Iraq's energy industry.

展望未来，联合能源将依托卓越的国际化团队及精细化管理，在“一带一路”倡议下，不断深化与伊拉克的能源合作与交流。集团将继续深耕伊拉克市场，积极参与能源领域的各项合作与建设，助力伊拉克能源行业实现长远发展。与此同时，在实现自身中长期规划和未来愿景的征途中，锐意进取、勇往直前，开创更加辉煌的未来！

Looking to the future, UEG will leverage its international experience and management expertise, as well as the “Belt and Road” initiative, to enhance energy cooperation with Iraq. The Group will continue to  explore the Iraqi market, actively participate in various cooperation and construction projects in the energy sector to support the long-term development of the Iraqi energy industry. As UEG pursues its medium- and long-term plans, the Group will maintain a strong commitment to sustainable growth for an even more brilliant future.
