???? 據油氣新聞2月5日消息稱，日本貿易公司住友公司發言人周四表示，該公司已在2020年第四季度出售了其在鷹福特一個項目中的股份，從而退出了美國的頁巖油業務。

????住友在2018年收購了德克薩斯州南部鷹福特地層一個油田的100%股權，該油田的最高日產量將達到3000桶石油當量。

????盡管2014-2015年，在油價暴跌迫使國際能源公司和日本貿易公司減記資產的情況下，該公司此前在美國的頁巖氣和石油資產出現了巨額減值損失，但它還是購買了上述股份。

????這位發言人說，住友去年決定出售這些股份，這是該公司最后的頁巖氣和石油資產，但他沒有給出交易的理由或金額。

????住友還在2020年出售了其在美國馬塞勒斯頁巖氣項目的全部股權，具體金額未透露。

????Sumitomo quits U.S. shale oil with sale of Eagle Ford stake

????Japanese trading house Sumitomo Corp has quit the shale oil business in the United States by selling its stake in a project in the Eagle Ford during the October to December quarter of 2020, a company spokesman said on Thursday.

????Sumitomo bought a 100% stake in 2018 in a field in the Eagle Ford formation of southern Texas that was set to have peak output of 3,000 barrels of oil euqivalent per day.

????It purchased the stake despite hefty impairment losses on its previous U.S. shale gas and oil assets in 2014-2015 when slumping prices forced international energy companies and Japanese trading houses to writedown the their assets.

????Sumitomo decided to sell the stake last year, the company’s last shale gas and oil asset, the spokesman said, without giving a reason or a sum for the deal.

????Sumitomo also sold its entire stake in a Marcellus shale gas project in the U.S. for a undisclosed sum in 2020.
