道达尔寻求出售安哥拉多个油田的股权

中国石化新闻网讯 据烃加工在线11月4日消息，业内消息人士称，道达尔公司正寻求出售安哥拉多个油田的股权，这被视为一个早期迹象，预示着来自安哥拉这个西非国家的大型能源公司将掀起一波撤资浪潮。

消息人士称，道达尔可能通过出售其在安哥拉第14海上区块20%的股权，筹集约3亿美元资金。该区块包括Tombua-Landana、Kuito油田，以及BBLT项目的几个油田。

雪佛龙运营的14号区块2019年的日产量约为4万桶油当量。

其中一名消息人士称，道达尔出售其在第14区块的股权，是该公司将重点放在安哥拉规模更大、利润更高的油气田上的努力的一部分。道达尔仍是安哥拉最大的油气田运营商。

去年12月，道达尔及其合作伙伴延长了在安哥拉17号区块的生产许可。

道达尔及其包括英国石油、雪佛龙和埃克森美孚在内的竞争对手计划未来几年在全球出售价值数百亿美元的油气资产，以减少因冠状病毒危机导致油价暴跌而激增的债务。

消息人士称，预计这些资产出售将包括安哥拉油田的一些股权。与其它石油生产区相比，安哥拉油田的生产通常更为复杂和昂贵。

对欧洲企业来说，此次销售也是长期战略的一部分，即从化石燃料转向可再生能源和电力市场，以减少温室气体排放。

与大多数大型石油公司不同，道达尔没有提供明确的资产剥离目标。

不过，汇丰银行分析师估计，道达尔未来10年将出售日产量将达到20万桶左右的石油资产，以实现其在2025年前保持产量不变的目标。

Total seeks to sell stakes in Angolan oilfields

Total is seeking to sell stakes in a number of Angolan oilfields, in what is seen as an early sign of an expected wave of divestments by big energy companies from the West African country, industry sources said.

Total could raise around $300 million from the sale of its 20% stake in Angola’s offshore Block 14, which includes the Tombua-Landana, Kuito fields as well as a cluster of fields that make the BBLT project, the sources said.

Chevron-operated Block 14 produced around 40,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2019.

The sale of Total’s stake in Block 14 is part of the company’s drive to focus on its larger and more profitable oil and gas fields in Angola, where it remains the largest operator, one of the sources said.

Last December, Total and its partners extended their production license in Angola’s giant Block 17.

Total and rivals including BP, Chevron and Exxon Mobil aim to sell tens of billions worth of oil and gas assets around the world in the coming years to reduce debt that ballooned following the collapse in oil prices due to the coronavirus crisis.

Those disposals are expected to include a number of stakes in Angolan oilfields, where production is generally more complex and expensive than other basins, the sources said.

For the European companies, the sales are also part of a long-term strategy to shift away from fossil fuels to renewable energy and power markets to reduce greenhouse gas emissions.

Unlike most big oil companies, Total does not provide a clear divestment target.

HSBC analysts, however, estimate that Total will sell around 200,000 bpd of production over the coming decade to meet its target of keeping production unchanged until 2025.
