据油气新闻网3月13日报道,近日,埃尼集团和英国石油公司已达成协议,合并他们在安哥拉的石油和天然气业务,这证实了早些时候消息人士向路透社透露的独家消息。
这笔交易将创建一家名为Azule Energy的公司,预计该公司将成为安哥拉最大的天然气生产商,拥有16个许可证和安哥拉液化天然气合资企业的股权。
Azule Energy还将收购埃尼在Solenova的股份,该公司是埃尼与安哥拉Sonangol合资的一家太阳能公司 。
早些时候,三位消息人士表示,这两个能源集团筹集约25亿美元的资金,以帮助为该合资企业提供资金,而且埃尼集团也即将达成收购阿尔及利亚天然气厂股份的单独协议。
两家公司去年宣布,计划将安哥拉业务合并为一家自备资金的公司,石油和天然气日产量约为20万桶油当量。
随着两家公司在未来几十年转向可再生能源和低碳能源,此次合并是其油气业务改革的一部分。这也将有助于他们减少债务。
阿尔及利亚天然气
据消息人士称,根据另一项协议,英国石油公司将向埃尼集团出售其在阿尔及利亚两大天然气开发项目的股份——Salah gas和Amenas gas。这笔交易的价值尚不清楚。
其中一位消息人士表示,两家公司正在进行深入谈判。bp和埃尼拒绝就阿尔及利亚发表评论。
据两名消息人士称,由于埃尼的业务和油气储量比英国石油的规模更大,价值更高,因此双方一直难以就平衡其安哥拉资产价值的方式达成一致。
两家公司周五发布的声明称,截至2021年底,bp在该交易中的总资产价值约为68亿美元,而埃尼集团的总资产价值为73亿美元。
消息人士称,阿尔及利亚南部两家天然气工厂的所有权变更将有助于埃尼集团开发阿尔及利亚的能源基础设施,并通过管道向南欧出口天然气。
与阿尔及利亚国有能源巨头Sonatrach签订了长期天然气合同的埃尼集团,与阿尔及利亚有历史渊源。去年,该公司签署了一系列旨在增加该国产量的协议。

BP,Eni merge operations in Angola
Eni and BP have completed a deal to merge their oil and gas operations in Angola, the groups said, confirming what sources earlier exclusively told Reuters.
The deal will create a company called Azule Energy that is expected to be Angola’s largest producer with stakes in 16 licences and in the Angola LNG joint venture.
Azule Energy will also take over Eni’s stake in Solenova, a solar company jointly held with Angola's Sonangol.
Earlier three sources said the two energy groups were close to raising around $2.5 billion in financing to help fund the joint venture and were also close to a separate agreement for Eni to buy stakes in Algerian gas plants.
The two companies last year announced plans to combine their Angolan businesses into a self-funded company with oil and gas production of around 200,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.
The merger is part of the two companies' overhaul of their oil and gas businesses as they shift towards renewables and low-carbon energy in the coming decades. It will also help them to reduce debt.
ALGERIAN GAS
Under a separate deal, BP is close to selling to Eni its stakes in two major gas ?developments in Algeria - In Salah Gas and In Amenas, the sources said. The value of such a deal is unclear.
One of the sources said the companies were in advanced talks. BP and Eni declined to comment on Algeria.
The two sides have struggled to agree on a way to balance the value of their Angolan assets since Eni's operations and oil and gas reserves are bigger and hold a larger value than BP's, two of the sources said.
The statements issued by both companies on Friday said BP's gross assets in the deal were worth about $6.8 billion at the end of 2021, while those of Eni were worth $7.3 billion.
The change of ownership at the two gas plants in the south of Algeria will help Eni develop Algeria's energy infrastructure and export gas to southern Europe via pipelines, the sources said.
Eni, which holds long-term gas contracts with state-owned energy giant Sonatrach, has historic ties with Algeria. Last year it signed a series of accords aimed at increasing production in the country.
