澳大利亚伍尔沃斯集团与加德士签署加油站协议

中国石化新闻网讯 据道琼斯悉尼7月5日消息，澳大利亚伍尔沃斯集团（Woolworths Group）表示，公司已与加德士澳大利亚有限公司签署了一项新的战略联盟和长达15年的批发燃料供应协议，但它将继续寻求首次公开募股或出售加油站业务。

两周前，石油巨头英国石油公司（BP）取消了一项收购伍尔沃斯加油站的交易，此前监管机构表示，他们将反对这笔交易。

伍尔沃斯集团称，在公司638个加油站网络中，将增加125个加德士公司的网点，消费者可以从这家澳大利亚连锁超市购买燃油赎回服务。

伍尔沃斯集团还将开始向700多个现有的加德士便利店提供长期的批发食品供应，并表示，一项新的长期燃料供应协议将锁定市场竞争的燃料成本，预计将为伍尔沃斯的汽油业务带来显著且可持续的收益提升。

DJ Woolworths Inks Deal With Caltex on Petrol Stations

Woolworths Group Ltd. (WOW.AU) said it has signed a new strategic alliance and 15-year wholesale fuel supply agreement with Caltex Australia Ltd. (CTX.AU), but it will continue to pursue an initial public offering or sale of the petrol station business.

The arrangement comes two weeks after oil giant BP PLC (BP) axed a proposed deal to buy Woolworths's petrol stations after regulators indicated they would oppose the deal.

Woolworths said 125 Caltex sites would be added to its 638-site network of petrol stations where consumers can cash in fuel redemption offers from the Australian supermarket chain.

Woolworths will also start a long-term wholesale food supply to more than 700 existing Caltex convenience sites and said a new long-term fuel supply deal will lock in "a market competitive cost of fuel that is expected to deliver a significant and sustainable earnings uplift to the Woolworths Petrol business."
