据管道&天然气杂志网7月25日报道，据知情人士周三表示，康菲石油公司正在考虑出售其在Ursa平台和Princess海底油井的股权，这将标志着该公司将退出美国墨西哥湾沿岸的深水能源生产。
这家石油生产商一直在出售资产，以成为美国页岩产业的核心——二叠纪盆地的主要运营商。其目标是到2023年底撤资40亿-50亿美元。
据两名消息人士透露，康菲石油已经聘请了一名财务顾问，以出售其在Ursa/Princess开发项目中所持15.9%的股份，该项目估值可能高达数亿美元。
据消息人士警告称，没有任何交易得到保证，如果康菲无法获得合适的报价，可能会保留该资产。由于讨论的是机密信息，他们要求匿名。
康菲石油拒绝置评。
这家总部位于休斯敦的公司已经成为二叠纪盆地的主要生产商，在过去两年中，该公司斥资230亿美元收购了壳牌在该地区的资产和竞争对手康乔资源公司（Concho Resources）。
美国原油价格在3月触及多年高位后，目前突破每桶100美元，对于那些希望寻求撤资的投资者来说是有利的。据业内人士称，大宗商品价格波动令买卖双方难以达成协议。
根据康菲公司网站的数据显示，2021年，该公司在Ursa/Princess的净产量日均为1.37万桶石油当量。壳牌是运营商，英国石油公司和埃克森美孚公司持有少数股权。

Sources: ConocoPhillips Eyes Gulf of Mexico Exit to Strengthen Permian Position
ConocoPhillips is exploring a sale of its stake in the Ursa platform and Princess subsea well in the Gulf of Mexico, people familiar with the matter said on Wednesday, in what would mark its exit from deepwater energy production off the U.S. Gulf coast.
The oil producer has been offloading assets as it shifts to become a major operator in the Permian basin, the heart of the shale industry in the United States. It has targeted between $4 billion and $5 billion in divestments by the end of 2023.
Conoco has retained a financial adviser to sell its 15.9% holding in the Ursa/Princess development, which is likely to be valued in the high hundreds of millions of dollars, according to two sources.
The sources cautioned that no deal was guaranteed, and Conoco could retain the asset if it does not secure a suitable offer. They spoke on condition of anonymity to discuss confidential information.
Conoco declined comment.
The Houston-based firm has become a major producer in the Permian, aided by a $23 billion spending spree over the last two years during which it bought Shell's assets in the region and rival Concho Resources.
With U.S. crude prices trading above $100 a barrel, having touched a multi-year high back in March, the backdrop for those wanting to explore potential divestments is favorable. Volatile commodity prices are making it hard for buyers and sellers to agree terms though, industry sources have said.
Conoco's net production from the Ursa/Princess development averaged 13,700 barrels of oil equivalent per day in 2021, according to its website. Shell is the operator, with BP Plc and Exxon Mobil Corp. holding minority stakes.
