I-Equinor, inkampani enkulu kawoyela yaseNorway, iyathengisa ezimpahleni zase-Afrika ukuze igxile eMelika
Muva nje, imithombo iveze ukuthi i-Equinor, umkhiqizi omkhulu kawoyela negesi waseNorway, uhlela ukudayisa izabelo ezinkundleni eziningi zikawoyela zasolwandle e-Angola. Le nkampani iqashe abeluleki bezezimali ukuthi bafune abathengi abangaba khona ngenkathi ihlose ukugcina isabelo esincane kwenye yezinkundla.
Noma ngabe umkhulumeli we-Equinor enqabe ukuphawula ngamahemuhemu futhi wagcizelela ukuthi i-Angola ihlala iyizwe elibalulekile enkampanini enamathemba amahle okuthuthukiswa esikhathini eside, leli cebo lokudayisa impahla, lihlangene nemizamo yakamuva ye-Equinor yokwenza kahle ipotifuliyo yayo yempahla yamazwe ngamazwe nokukhulisa ukukhiqiza eBrazil nase-United States, lichaza indlela ecacile yokuhlela kabusha umkhondo wayo kawoyela negesi emhlabeni.
Ngokubheka umkhakha wamafutha, le nqubo akukhombisi kuphela ukulungiswa kwesu kwe-Equinor ukuze kuphendulwe ezinhlelweni zomkhakha futhi kuthuthukiswe ukusebenza kwezinsiza kodwa futhi kubonisa ukushintsha okukhulu emhlabeni wamafutha kanye negesi. Ngasikhathi sinye, kunezimpempe ezibanzi ekuthuthukiseni umkhakha wamafutha kanye negesi e-Angola.
01.Izindlela Ezihambisanayo Zokunciphisa Nokugxila: Izizathu Eziyinhloko Emva Kokuthengiswa Kwezakhiwo Zase-Angola Ze-Equinor
Ukuthengiswa okuphakanyisiwe kwezimpahla ze-Equinor ezisemanzini e-Angola akusiyona into eyodwa kodwa kunalokho kuqhubeka nesu lenkampani lokuthuthukisa ipotfoliyo yayo yamazwe omhlaba futhi igxile emakethe ezinamathuba aphezulu. Le ndlela iphumelelwa yihlanganiso yezinto eziningi, kuhlanganise nezitayela zezimboni, ukusebenza kwezimpahla, kanye nombono wemakethe.
Okokuqala, isidingo sokuthuthukiswa kwepotfoliyo sikhanya, sinesikhuthazo sokusheshisa ukuthengiswa kwezimpahla ezingasebenzi kahle. Eminyakeni edlule, i-Equinor ibisebenza ngokuhlela nokugxila ekubeni khona kwayo emhlabeni jikelele. Lokhu kufaka phakathi ukuqedela izivumelwano ngo-2024 zokuphuma emisebenzini yayo e-Azerbaijan naseNigeria, kanye nokuphothulwa kwamuva kokuthengiswa kwezimpahla zayo ezisemhlabeni e-Argentina. Ukuthengiswa okuhlela kwezintshisakalo zayo ezisemanzini e-Angola kuyisandiso esiqondile salolu shintsho lwezinhlelo.
Ngokombono wekhwalithi yempahla, i-Equinor ibamba iqhaza ekusebenzeni kwamabhulokhi amathathu okukhiqiza olwandle eshalofini lase-Angola, ngokukhiqiza okulinganayo okucishe kube amabhalela angu-110,000 amafutha alingana ngosuku ngo-2024—isabelo esincane kakhulu kuphothifoliyo yayo yomhlaba wonke. Ngaphezu kwalokho, izimbiwo zamandla kawoyela eziningi zase-Angola zisesigabeni esiphakathi nesokugcina sokuthuthukiswa, okuchazwa amazinga aphezulu okwehla kwemvelo, ukwanda kwezindleko zokulungisa, kanye nemikhawulo enzuzo eqhubekayo. Ngaphansi kwengcindezi yokuncintisana okukhulayo emakethe yamandla omhlaba, isinqumo se-Equinor sokudayisa lezi zimpahla ezinenzuzo ephansi nokudlulisa izinsiza ezimakethe ezinamathuba aphezulu siyisinqumo esinengqondo sokuthuthukisa ukusebenza kahle kwezimpahla nokuvikela izintshisekelo zabatshalizimali.
Okwesibili, ukukhanga kwezimali emakethe kawoyela negesi yase-Angola kuye kwehla njalo. Njengomkhiqizi omkhulu kawoyela wesibili e-sub-Saharan Africa, i-Angola isikhathana eside ithembela embonini yayo kaphethiloli. Kodwa-ke, eminyakeni yamuva nje, ukuntuleka kokutshalwa kwezimali okwanele kuholele ekwehleni njalo kokukhiqizwa kukayenga. Ngo-2023, izwe lihoxile ku-OPEC ukuze likhululwe emikhawulweni yokukhiqiza futhi yethula izinqubomgomo zokukhuthaza ukudonsa izimali zakwamanye amazwe. Noma kunjalo, izinqubo zokuqinisekisa eziyinkimbinkimbi, ukungaqiniseki kwezinkontileka, izidingo eziqinile zokwenziwa kwasekhaya, kanye nesimo sokucophelela sezimali samazwe omhlaba kumaphrojekthi asemanzini ajulile phakathi koshintsho lwamandla emhlabeni, kuye kwehla ukukhanga kwayo ezinkampanini zikayenga zamazwe omhlaba.
Kwa Equinor, izinzuzo ezilindelekile ekutshalweni kwezimali emakethe yase-Angola sehlile. Ngakho-ke, ukunciphisa ubukhona bayo nokudayisa izimpahla sekuyisinqumo esingenakugwenywa ukunciphisa izingozi nokwenza ngcono ukwabiwa kwezinsiza.
Okwesithathu, amandla amakhulu okukhula ezimakethe ezibalulekile njengeBrazil ne-U.S. enza ukugxila kwezinhloso kube yisidingo esibalulekile. Ngokungafani nemakethe ye-Angola ebuthakathaka, amathuba kawoyela negesi ezifundeni ezifana neBrazil ne-U.S. aqinile, okwenza kube yizindawo ezibalulekile zokukhula kwe-Equinor. UPhilippe Mathieu, umphathi omkhulu we-Equinor wezokuHlola Nokukhiqiza Kwamazwe Ngamazwe, usanda kusho ukuthi inkampani izogxila ezinkundleni zikawoyela negesi eBrazil, e-U.S. Gulf of Mexico, e-U.S. onshore, nase-UK, ihlose ukwandisa ukukhiqiza kwamazwe ngamazwe kusuka kumalitha angaba ngu-700,000 ngosuku ngo-2025 kuya kumalitha angaba ngu-900,000 ngosuku ngo-2030. IBrazil inezinsiza eziningi ezijulile, kanti i-U.S. inikeza ubuchwepheshe obuvuthiwe nezimboni ezisebenzayo emafutheni eshali kanye nemisebenzi yasolwandle eGulf, okuthembisa ukukhula okuzinzile nokubuyisa okukhulu kwe-Equinor. Ukuthengiswa okuhleliwe kwezimpahla zase-Angola kuyisibonakaliso esiqondile salokhu kushintsha kwezinhloso.
Ngokubalulekile, i-Equinor ihlose ukugcina isabelo esincane enkundleni kawoyela eyodwa yase-Angola, isinyathelo esikhombisa ukuguquguquka kwamasu—sikuvumela ukuthi ugcine indawo emathembeni esikhathini esizayo ngenkathi unciphisa izingozi zemakethe. Ngaleso sikhathi, izitatimende zayo ezisemthethweni ezinhle nge-Angola zisebenza ukuqinisekisa imakethe, ukugwema ukungqubuzana neziphathimandla zendawo, nokugcina indawo yokubambisana esikhathini esizayo.
02.Ukuguqula Indawo, Imiphumela Enkulu: Imiphumela Yemboni kanye Nombono Wesikhathi Esizayo Wokudayiswa Kwempahla
Ukuthengiswa kwezakhiwo ze-Equinor ezisemanzini e-Angola akukhombisi kuphela ukulungiswa kwesu kwenkampani uqobo kodwa kuzoba nemiphumela eminingi emkhakheni wamafutha kanye negesi e-Angola, emhlabeni jikelele, nasezinhlelweni ezibanzi zomkhakha.
E-Angola, lesi sinyathelo sikhulisa ingcindezi emkhakheni wayo wezamafutha negesi. Izwe lenza imizamo eqinile yokunciphisa ukwehla kokukhiqizwa, okuhloswe ukuthi ukukhiqizwa kuhlale ngaphezu kwamabhaleli ayisigidi ngosuku. Ukuhoxa kwemali yangaphandle kuzothinta amazinga okutshalwa kwezimali futhi kubambezele ukululama kokukhiqizwa. Kodwa-ke, kukhona ithemba: njengoba izinkampani ezinkulu zamazwe ngamazwe zinciphisa izimpahla zazo zase-Afrika, izinkampani zase-Afrika zasekhaya kanye nemali ekhulayo ziqinisa ukuthatha leli thuba. Izinkampani zase-Angola zasekhaya zingasebenzisa ubuchwepheshe bazo bendawo ukuvuselela izimpahla ezivuthiwe, kanti izinqubomgomo zikahulumeni zokukhuthaza zingase zikhangise abanye abasebenza kwamanye amazwe ukuthi bangene, okungase kube nomfutho omusha embonini.
Emakethe yehlabathi ye-oyela negesi, lesi sicabango sibonisa ushintsho ekucabangeni kokutshalwa kwezimali ezinkampanini zamazwe omhlaba ezikhiqiza u-oyela negesi—kusuka "ekubekeni amanethi amaningi" kuya "ekugxileni ezindaweni eziyinhloko." Ngokubhekana noshintsho lwamandla, izinkampani ezikhiqiza u-oyela negesi zibhekene nengcindezi ephindwe kabili yokulandela imizamo yokunciphisa ikhabhoni ngenkathi kugcinwa ukukhula kokukhiqiza. I-Equinor ayisanciphisi nje kuphela izimpahla ezingezona eziyinhloko kodwa futhi ihlela ukunciphisa ukutshalwa kwezimali kumandla avuselelekayo ngo-50% eminyakeni emibili ezayo ukuze igxile ekukhiqizeni u-oyela negesi. Iphrojekthi yokukhula okungaphezu kuka-10% ekukhiqizeni u-oyela negesi phakathi kuka-2024 no-2027, ihlose umthamo wokukhiqiza wamabhodlela ayizigidi ezingu-2.2 u-oyela okulingana ngosuku ngo-2030. Le ndlela yamasu ingase ivuse igagasi lezinyathelo ezifanayo kulo lonke ibhizinisi, idale ukuhlanganiswa kwezimpahla zomhlaba wonke zikayela negesi, igxilise izinsiza ezindaweni ezinamathuba amaningi nezimpahla ezisebenza kahle, futhi iguqule indawo yokuncintisana.
Ngokuba i-Equinor ngokwayo, impumelelo yokudayiswa kwalezi zimpahla incike ekuqedelweni kahle kokuthengiselana nasekusebenziseni kahle imali etholakele ezimakethe zase-U.S. kanye neBrazil. Isikhundla senkampani e-U.S. naseBrazil sesivele sibonise imiphumela. Uma izofinyelela imigomo yayo yokukhiqiza ka-2030, ukuncintisana kwayo emhlabeni wonke kuzothuthukiswa. Kodwa-ke, izinselele zisaqhubeka: ukuncintisana kunzima kakhulu e-U.S. naseBrazil, nabadlali abakhulu njenge-ExxonMobil nabo benyusa utshalomali lwabo; ukuntengantenga kwentengo kawoyela kuzothinta izinzuzo; futhi phakathi noshintsho lwamandla, ukulinganisa ukukhiqizwa kukagwayi kanye negesi nokuthuthukiswa kwamandla aphansi ukuze kufinyelelwe imigomo ye-net-zero kuhlala kuyisabelo esibalulekile.
Ngokubheka phambili, ngenkathi uhlelo lokudayisa impahla lwe-Equinor lungaphansi kokuphikisana futhi lungaqinisekile, isiqondiso sayo samasu sokugxila e-U.S. nase-Brazil ngenkathi kuthuthukiswa iphothifoliyo yayo yomhlaba wonke sesimisiwe. I-Angola, ngakolunye uhlangothi, idinga ukuthuthukisa isimo sayo sokutshala izimali futhi iqinise ukwesekwa kwezinqubomgomo ukuze idonse izimali zakwamanye amazwe futhi ivimbele ukwehla kokukhiqiza. Ngomkhakha kawoyela womhlaba wonke, ukulungiswa kwephothifoliyo yama-IOC kuzoholela ekwandeni kokugxilwa kwemakethe kanye nokuncintisana okukhulu ezindaweni ezinamathuba amaningi. Ngaleso sikhathi, izinkampani zikawoyela negesi kufanele zilinganise inzuzo nezibopho zokunciphisa ikhabhoni, ziqondise umkhakha ekusebenzeni kahle nasekusimameni.
