據(jù)離岸工程2月18日報道，總部位于美國的康菲石油公司（ConocoPhillips）以16.45億美元從起源能源公司（Origin Energy）收購了澳大利亞太平洋液化天然氣（APLNG）項目10%的額外股份。

康菲石油公司表示，按照慣例成交調(diào)整后，它為該項目的額外權(quán)益支付了約14億美元的現(xiàn)金。

在這筆交易中，康菲石油公司行使了其優(yōu)先購買權(quán)，將其在APLNG項目中的股份從37.5%增加到47.5%。

這一先發(fā)制人的舉措是對 Origin Energy于2021年10月簽署的一項價值15.9億美元的交易的回應(yīng)，該交易將該項目10%的股份出售給美國能源投資者EIG。

康菲石油公司董事長兼首席執(zhí)行官瑞安·蘭斯（Ryan Lance）表示，我們很高興收購APLNG的額外股份。在其六年的運營過程中，APLNG一直是不斷增長的亞太市場和澳大利亞東海岸天然氣市場的可靠、高效的天然氣供應(yīng)商。隨著全球能源轉(zhuǎn)型的進行，我們預(yù)計液化天然氣將發(fā)揮越來越重要的作用，因為它比其他替代能源的溫室氣體排放強度更低。與此同時，此次對APLNG額外股權(quán)的戰(zhàn)略性收購進一步多樣化了我們的產(chǎn)品組合，同時降低了我們的總遞減率。

康菲石油公司2021年APLNG項目的全年產(chǎn)量為每天11.3萬桶石油當量。

Origin Energy在該項目中的持股比例降至27.5%。

去年，康菲石油公司以95億美元從荷蘭皇家殼牌子公司殼牌企業(yè)（Shell Enterprises）手中收購了美國的二疊紀資產(chǎn)。

該交易包括殼牌在得克薩斯州的225萬英畝凈土地和生產(chǎn)資產(chǎn)，以及每天17.5萬桶當量的石油。

ConocoPhillips increases stake in Australian LNG project

US-based ConocoPhillips has acquired an additional 10% stake in the Australia Pacific LNG (APLNG) project, from Origin Energy, for $1.645bn.

ConocoPhillips said it made a cash payment of approximately $1.4bn for the additional interest in the project, following the customary closing adjustments.

For this deal, ConocoPhillips exercised its pre-emption right to increase its stake in the APLNG project, to from 37.5% to 47.5%.

The pre-emptive move came in response to a $1.59bn deal signed by Origin Energy, in October 2021, to sell a 10% stake in the project to US-based energy investor EIG.

ConocoPhillips chairman and CEO Ryan Lance said: “We are pleased to acquire this additional stake in APLNG which, throughout its six years of operations, has served as a reliable and efficient supplier of natural gas to the growing Asia Pacific market, and to Australia’s East Coast gas market.

“With the global energy transition underway, we expect LNG to play an increasingly important role, as it is lower in greenhouse gas emissions intensity than other alternatives.

“At the same time, this strategic acquisition of an additional shareholding interest in APLNG further diversifies our product mix while lowering our aggregate decline rate.”

ConocoPhillips’ full-year 2021 production rates from the APLNG project stood at 113,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.

Origin Energy’s stake in the project is reduced to 27.5%.

Last year, ConocoPhillips purchased Permian assets, in the US, from Royal Dutch Shell subsidiary Shell Enterprises, for $9.5bn.

The transaction included Shell’s 225,000 net acres and producing properties in Texas, along with 175,000 barrels equivalent per day.
