据路透社5月20日消息,荷兰皇家壳牌公司近日同意以4.6亿美元出售菲律宾一处海上天然气田股份,作为其压缩油气业务战略的一部分。
壳牌将向乌代纳(Udenna)集团子公司出售服务合同38(SC38)区块的45%股份。SC38是一份包括马兰帕亚在产天然气田的深水牌照,乌代纳集团已拥有其45%股份。
壳牌在一份声明中表示,此次交易的基本对价是3.8亿美元,根据资产绩效和大宗商品价格,将在2022-2024年期间额外支付8000万美元。
协议将于2021年底完成。
菲律宾能源部数据显示,1991年发现的马兰帕亚天然气田目前为发电厂提供燃料,满足该国约五分之一的电力需求。
马兰帕亚石油产量正在下降,菲律宾能源部预计其将于2027年枯竭。
乌代纳集团2019年斥资5.65亿美元从雪佛龙公司收购马兰帕亚45%股份,此次占股比例将翻倍。
菲律宾国家石油公司持有剩余10%股份。
去年,乌代纳集团曾表示有兴趣购买壳牌股份,当时公司发言人德雷蒙· 索瑞拉表示马兰帕亚“是对国家未来福祉与能源安全具有战略意义的优质资产”。
除天然气储量外,马兰帕亚资产还包括海底管道和其他设施,这些设施可供进口LNG的未来卖家与用户使用。
菲律宾需要在马兰帕亚枯竭之前进口LNG。政府已经批准了马兰帕亚平台附近多个LNG进口终端项目。

Shell exits Philippine gas field in $460 mln deal
Royal Dutch Shell has agreed to sell its stake in an offshore gas field in the Philippines for $460 million as part of its strategy to narrow its oil and gas operations.
Shell sold its 45% stake in Service Contract 38 (SC38), a deep water licence which includes the producing Malampaya gas field, to a subsidiary of the Udenna Group which already holds a 45% stake in the project.
The base consideration for the sale is $380 million, with additional payments of up to $80 million between 2022 to 2024 contingent on asset performance and commodity prices, Shell said in a statement.
The deal is due to complete by the end of 2021.
The Philippines' Malampaya gas field, discovered in 1991, currently supplies fuel to power plants that deliver about a fifth of the country's electricity requirements, based on energy ministry data.
Malampaya's output is declining, with the Philippines' energy ministry expecting it to run dry by 2027.
Philippine conglomerate Udenna, will double its interest in Malampaya, having bought the first 45% stake from Chevron in 2019 for $565 million.
State-owned Philippine National Oil Company (PNOC) holds the remaining 10%.
Udenna had expressed an interest in buying Shell's stake last year, when company spokesman Raymond Zorrilla described Malampaya as "a high-quality asset strategic to the future welfare and energy security of the country."
Aside from gas reserves, Malampaya's assets include undersea pipelines and other facilities that could be tapped by future sellers and users of imported liquefied natural gas.
The Philippines will need to import LNG before Malampaya runs dry. The government has approved several LNG import terminal projects near the Malampaya platform.
