U.S. oil company Occidental Petroleum Corp and Canadian Natural Resources have submitted bids for Bahrains deep gas exploration project, the Gulf states top oil official said on Thursday.
Abdul-Hussain bin Ali Mirza, head of Bahrains National Oil and Gas Authority (NOGA), told news agency Reuters the bids of the two companies were opened on Thursday and would be reviewed by NOGA and Bahrain Petroleum Co.
The deal will be awarded by the end of the year, he said.
The Gulf island state wants to develop onshore natural gas fields at a depth of up to 6,096 metres below sea level to meet rising domestic demand.
The country consumed 1.3 billion cubic feet of gas per day in 2007 and expects consumption to rise to 2 billion cubic feet per day in about 10 years.
It has also held talks with Gulf neighbours Qatar and Iran about importing 1 billion cubic feet per day.
