中国石化新闻网讯 据石油和天然气管道新闻5月14日消息，挪威国油已行使其优惠权利，以9.65亿美元从壳牌手中再收购Caesar Tonga油田22.45%的股权。 这笔交易将把挪威国油的股权从23.55%提高至46%。阿纳达科仍持有挪威国油33.75%的股权，雪佛龙仍持有其20.25%的股权。 Caesar Tonga油田位于新奥尔良西南偏南290公里的格林峡谷地区，是美国墨西哥湾最大的深水油田之一。 阿纳达科北美海上发展和生产国际高级副总裁Christopher Golden表示：“我们很高兴扩大在美国的业务，这是我们的核心领域之一。我们非常了解这一项资产，从第一天起，我们更大的股权将带来更多的自由现金流。” Wood Mackenzie公司墨西哥湾团队研究分析师Michael Murphy表示：“这为挪威国油提供了一个很好的机会，可以增加它对一项已经非常熟悉的资产的运营兴趣。此举将挪威国油2019年在美国墨西哥湾石油净预测产量提高近15%，达到每日逾10万桶石油当量。该项目将增加挪威国油地区资产组合的短期现金流，而且随着西方石油公司收购阿纳达科运营商，该项目也可能使挪威国油在未来寻求海底回接油田的运营权。” 程张翔 编译自 石油和天然气管道新闻 原文如下： Equinor increases stake in Gulf of Mexico asset Equinor has exercised its preferential rights to acquire an additional 22.45 per cent interest in the Caesar Tonga oilfield from Shell for US$965 million in cash. The deal will increase Equinor’s interest from 23.55 per cent to 46 per cent. Anadarko remains the operator with a 33.75 per cent interest, and Chevron retains its 20.25 per cent interest. The Caesar Tonga field is located 290 kilometres south-southwest of New Orleans in the Green Canyon area and is one of the largest deepwater resources in the US Gulf of Mexico. The deal will have an effective date of 1 January 2019. The closing of the deal will be subject to customary consents and approvals. “We are pleased to increase our presence in the US, one of our core areas. This is an asset we understand well, and our larger interest will deliver significant additional free cash flow from day one”, said Christopher Golden, Equinor’s senior vice president for Development and Production International, North America Offshore. Michael Murphy, research analyst with Wood Mackenzie's Gulf of Mexico team, said: "This provides Equinor with a great opportunity to increase working interest in an asset it already knows well. The move increases Equinor's US Gulf of Mexico 2019 net forecasted production by almost 15 per cent, to over 100,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day. The project will add near term cash flow to Equinor's regional portfolio, and with operator Anadarko set to be acquired by Occidental, it could also position the company to seek operatorship of the subsea tie-back field in the future."
