据离岸工程2月18日报道,总部位于美国的康菲石油公司(ConocoPhillips)以16.45亿美元从起源能源公司(Origin Energy)收购了澳大利亚太平洋液化天然气(APLNG)项目10%的额外股份。
康菲石油公司表示,按照惯例成交调整后,它为该项目的额外权益支付了约14亿美元的现金。
在这笔交易中,康菲石油公司行使了其优先购买权,将其在APLNG项目中的股份从37.5%增加到47.5%。
这一先发制人的举措是对 Origin Energy于2021年10月签署的一项价值15.9亿美元的交易的回应,该交易将该项目10%的股份出售给美国能源投资者EIG。
康菲石油公司董事长兼首席执行官瑞安·兰斯(Ryan Lance)表示,我们很高兴收购APLNG的额外股份。在其六年的运营过程中,APLNG一直是不断增长的亚太市场和澳大利亚东海岸天然气市场的可靠、高效的天然气供应商。随着全球能源转型的进行,我们预计液化天然气将发挥越来越重要的作用,因为它比其他替代能源的温室气体排放强度更低。与此同时,此次对APLNG额外股权的战略性收购进一步多样化了我们的产品组合,同时降低了我们的总递减率。
康菲石油公司2021年APLNG项目的全年产量为每天11.3万桶石油当量。
Origin Energy在该项目中的持股比例降至27.5%。
去年,康菲石油公司以95亿美元从荷兰皇家壳牌子公司壳牌企业(Shell Enterprises)手中收购了美国的二叠纪资产。
该交易包括壳牌在得克萨斯州的225万英亩净土地和生产资产,以及每天17.5万桶当量的石油。

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.
