据离岸工程5月14日报道，日前，日本石油勘探公司(Japex)决定将其在加拿大页岩气项目中10%的权益出售给马来西亚国家石油能源加拿大公司(Petronas Energy Canada)，具体金额未透露。
Japex将通过其子公司Japex Montney剥离其在北蒙特尼(NM)合资企业的股份。
NM负责不列颠哥伦比亚省北蒙特尼地区的页岩气开发和生产。
该页岩气项目将为太平洋西北液化天然气项目提供天然气，此项目因环境恶劣和价格低廉于2017年被取消。
Japex在一份新闻声明中表示，即使在2017年7月由于商业环境的变化而决定不继续进行液化天然气项目后，Japex仍一直与PECL及其合作伙伴合作，通过优化开发计划，最大化NM项目的价值。
然而，Japex表示，其退出加拿大页岩资产的决定是因为预计勘探生产业务将面临更严峻的环境。
该公司指出，这是由于新冠疫情的长期影响，包括之后的结构性变化，并加速全球脱碳。
2018年，Japex制定了中期业务计划，其中包括转变勘探与生产业务结构，以确保在每桶50- 60美元的油价环境下实现可持续增长。
该公司在一份声明中表示，基于这一认识，我们的勘探开发项目一直在努力通过优化业务组合来提高盈利能力，包括出售资产。
其他参与加拿大页岩气项目的公司包括马来西亚国家石油公司(62%)、印度石油集团(10%)和文莱石油集团(3%)。

Japex to sell 10% stake in Canadian shale gas project to Petronas
Japan Petroleum Exploration (Japex) has decided to sell its 10% interest in the Canadian shale gas project to Petronas Energy Canada (PECL) for an undisclosed sum.
Japex will divest its stake in the North Montney (NM) joint venture through its subsidiary Japex Montney.
The NM is responsible for shale gas development and production in the North Montney area of British Columbia.
The shale gas project would have provided gas for the Pacific North West LNG project, which was cancelled in 2017 due to challenging environment and low prices.
In a press statement, Japex said: “Even after the decision not to proceed with the LNG project in July 2017 due to changes in the business environment, Japex has been working with PECL and its partners to maximise the value of the NM project by optimising the development plan.”
However, Japex said its decision to exit the Canadian shale asset comes as it anticipates a more severe environment that surrounds the E&P business.
This is due to the prolonging Covid-19 effects, including aftermath structural changes, and accelerating the global decarbonisation, the firm noted.
In 2018, Japex framed the medium-term business plan, which involves transforming its E&P business structure to ensure sustainable growth even at $50-$60 a barrel oil price environments.
The firm said in a statement: “based on the recognition, our E&P projects have been striving to improve their profitability by optimising the business portfolio, including the sale of the asset.”
Others firms involved in the Canadian shale gas project include Petronas Group (62%), Indian Oil Group (10%) and Petroleum Brunei Group (3%).
