中国石化新闻网讯 据油价网7月13日消息称，石油巨头埃克森美孚已同意以49亿美元的价格收购碳捕集、利用和封存(CCUS)解决方案开发商Denbury公司，交易价格为89.45美元/股。Denbury通过提高采收率(EOR)作业回收二氧化碳，并将其用于生产环保负碳的石油。该公司拥有美国最大的二氧化碳管道网络，全长1300英里，其中包括路易斯安那州、得克萨斯州和密西西比州近925英里的二氧化碳管道，以及10个陆上封存点。
此次收购是埃克森美孚新启动的CCUS项目的一部分。埃克森美孚首席执行官伍兹表示，该公司的低碳业务有潜力在十年内超越其传统的油气业务，并产生数千亿美元的收入。
今年4月，埃克森美孚与工业气体公司林德签署了一份长期合同，涉及林德在得克萨斯州博蒙特计划的清洁氢项目相关的二氧化碳承购。埃克森美孚每年将从林德的工厂运输并永久储存多达220万吨的二氧化碳。早在今年2月，林德就公布了一项耗资18亿美元的综合计划，其中包括具有碳捕获的自热重整和一个大型气体分离工厂，以供应清洁的氢和氮。
麦肯锡估计，到2035年，全球每年需要在CCUS技术上投资1200亿至1500亿美元，才能实现净零排放。为了有效地扩展这项技术，麦肯锡指出，有必要加强整个价值链的协调。

ExxonMobil To Acquire Denbury In $4.9B Deal
Giant E&P company Exxon Mobil (NYSE:XOM) has agreed to acquire the developer of carbon capture, utilization and storage (CCUS) solutions, Denbury Inc. (NYSE:DEN) in an all-stock transaction valued at $4.9B, or $89.45/share, good for a mere 1.9% premium to Wednesday's closing stock price. Denbury recycles CO2 through its Enhanced Oil Recovery (EOR) operations, and uses it to produce environmentally-friendly, carbon-negative Blue Oil. The company owns the largest CO2 pipeline network in the U.S. at 1,300 miles, including nearly 925 miles of CO2 pipelines in Louisiana, Texas, and Mississippi, as well as 10 onshore sequestration sites.
The acquisition is part of ExxonMobil’s newly-launched CCUS projects. Exxon CEO Darren Woods says that the company’s Low Carbon business has the potential to outperform its legacy oil and gas business within a decade and generate hundreds of billions in revenues.
In April, Exxon Mobil signed a long-term contract with industrial gas company Linde Plc. (NYSE:LIN) that involves offtake of carbon dioxide associated with Linde’s planned clean hydrogen project in Beaumont, Texas. Exxon will transport and permanently store as much as 2.2M metric tons/year of carbon dioxide each year from Linde’s plant. Back in February, Linde unveiled plans to build a $1.8B complex which will include autothermal reforming with carbon capture and a large air separation plant to supply clean hydrogen and nitrogen.
McKinsey estimates that annual global investment in CCUS technology of $120 billion to $150 billion by 2035 is required for the world to achieve net zero. To scale the technology effectively, the firm notes that greater coordination across the value chain is necessary.
