中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社墨尔本报道，康菲公司已同意以13.9亿美元的价格将其澳大利亚北部业务出售给合作伙伴桑托斯公司，这笔交易将使桑托斯的产量增加25%，并提高其在全球天然气市场的地位。 这笔交易并非出人意料，它标志着桑托斯在不到一年的时间里进行了第二次重大收购，此前桑托斯在董事总经理Kevin Gallagher的领导下经历了巨大的转变，并在周一的早期交易中推动其股价上涨了7%。 一直专注于美国页岩资产的康菲石油公司将退出2006年在澳大利亚北部开建的Darwin LNG工厂和澳大利亚北部的气田，但仍持有其在昆士兰州澳大利亚太平洋LNG工厂的股份。 康菲石油首席运营官Matt Fox在一份声明中表示：“尽管我们相信Darwin LNG回填项目仍然是新的全球LNG供应成本较低的项目之一，但这笔交易允许我们将资金分配给其他项目。” 与此同时，为Darwin LNG项目供气的Bayu-Undan气田将于2022年枯竭，该项目的所有者将决定下一步开发哪个气田以保持该项目继续运营，桑托斯则打算开发Barossa气田。 Gallagher在一次电话会议上对记者表示：“这里的优势是推动Barossa开发，并建立一个框架来开发该地区的其他资源。” 桑托斯表示，该交易将于2020年第一季度完成，预计将使公司的每股收益提高16%，并在2020年将其产量提高25%。 桑托斯已经同意，如果就开发Barossa气田达成最终投资决定，将再支付 7500万美元。该公司计划用现金和新债务为整个收购提供资金。 詹晓晶 摘自 路透社 原文如下： ConocoPhillips quits northern Australia in $1.4 billion sale to Santos ConocoPhillips (COP.N) has agreed to sell its northern Australian business to partner Santos Ltd (STO.AX) for $1.39 billion, in a deal that will hike the Australian group’s output by 25% and boost its position in the global gas market. The deal, which was not unexpected, marks the second major acquisition by Santos in less than a year, following a sharp turnaround in its fortunes under Managing Director Kevin Gallagher, and pushed its shares up 7% in early trade on Monday. ConocoPhillips, which has been focusing on its U.S. shale assets, will quit the Darwin LNG plant, which it opened in 2006, and gas fields off northern Australia, but hold on to its stake in the Australia Pacific LNG plant in Queensland state. “While we believe the Darwin LNG backfill project remains among the lower cost of supply options for new global LNG supply, this transaction allows us to allocate capital to other projects,” ConocoPhillips Chief Operating Officer Matt Fox said in a statement. The move comes as the Bayu-Undan gas field that feeds Darwin LNG is set to run dry in 2022 and the project’s owners near a decision on which field to develop next to keep the plant open, with Santos aiming to develop the Barossa field. “The big prize here is pushing forward with development (of Barossa) and setting up the framework to develop other resources in the region over time,” Gallagher told reporters on a conference call. The deal, set to close in the first quarter of 2020, is expected to boost Santos’ earnings per share by 16% and increase its production by 25% in 2020, the company said. Santos has agreed to pay a further $75 million if a final investment decision is reached on developing the Barossa field. It plans to fund the whole acquisition out of cash and new debt.
