利比里亚与阿特拉斯/奥兰托签署了石油协议，承诺提供数百万美元的投资和就业机会，尽管存在腐败问题。 Liberia signs oil deals with Atlas/Oranto, promising millions in investment and jobs, despite corruption concerns.

利比里亚已经与尼日利亚的阿特拉斯/奥兰托石油公司签订了四项新的近海石油勘探合同,承诺提供1 200万至1 600万美元的签字奖金和每个区多达2亿美元的投资,以期恢复其停滞不前的能源部门。 Liberia has signed four new offshore oil exploration contracts with Nigeria’s Atlas/Oranto Petroleum, promising a $12 million to $16 million signature bonus and up to $200 million in investment per block, aiming to revive its stalled energy sector. 这些交易,在立法批准之前,授予LB-15、LB-16、LB-22和LB-24区块的权利,包括环境保障措施和当地含量要求。 The deals, pending legislative approval, grant rights to blocks LB-15, LB-16, LB-22, and LB-24 and include environmental safeguards and local content requirements. 然而,由于阿特拉斯/奥兰托过去与利比里亚的腐败指控有联系,包括与以前的合同有关的贿赂指控以及缺乏履行社会承诺,人们仍然感到关切。 However, concerns persist due to Atlas/Oranto’s past ties to corruption allegations in Liberia, including bribery claims tied to earlier contracts and a lack of fulfillment of social commitments. 尽管存在这些问题,政府仍强调透明度和问责制,希望这些协定将刺激创造工作机会、经济多样化以及博阿凯总统的《ARREST议程》下的长期发展。 Despite these issues, the government emphasizes transparency and accountability, hoping the agreements will spur job creation, economic diversification, and long-term development under President Boakai’s ARREST Agenda.
