中国石化新闻网讯 据美国彭博新闻社2020年6月4日伦敦报道，据知情人士透露，英国石油公司(BP)时下正在就出售阿曼一个重要天然气项目约10%的股份进行初步谈判，这是这家英国能源巨头削减其债务计划的一部分。 上述知情人士说，总部位于伦敦的BP正在与感兴趣的各方就削减其在阿曼哈赞天然气田中持有的60%股份中的部分股份进行谈判。这些要求匿名采访的消息人士说，这10%的股份可能会以超过10亿美元的价格出售，这个股份出售计划正在吸引其他大型能源公司的兴趣。 此次出售股份计划将帮助BP实现在2021年年中之前剥离150亿美元资产的目标，这对减轻BP的债务负担至关重要。由于疫情和油价暴跌的双重打击影响了BP第一季度的利润，BP为此增加了财务储备。今年4月，BP确认将按照修订后的条款完成把其阿拉斯加业务出售给Hilcorp能源公司的交易。 知情人士说，这个股份出售计划目前还没有做出最终决定，也不确定这些谈判是否会促成交易。BP的一位代表拒绝对此事置评。 李峻 编译自 彭博社 原文如下： BP Aims to Sell More Than $1B Stake in Oman Gas Project BP Plc is in early-stage discussions to sell about a 10% stake in a key gas field in Oman as part of the energy giant’s plans to cut debt, according to people familiar with the matter. London-based BP is talking with interested parties about cutting part of its 60% holding in the Khazzan natural gas field, the people said, asking not to be identified as the matter is private. The 10% stake is likely to fetch more than $1 billion and is drawing interest from other large energy companies, they said. A stake sale would help BP deliver on its goal to achieve $15 billion in divestments by mid-2021 -- crucial for easing its debt burden. The company has bolstered its financial reserves as the double impact of the coronavirus pandemic and a crash in oil prices hit profits in the first quarter. In April, BP confirmed its commitment to completing the sale of its Alaska business to Hilcorp Energy Co. on revised terms. No final decisions have been made, and there’s no certainty the deliberations will lead to a transaction, the people said. A representative for BP declined to comment.
