据油气新闻网1月30日报道，据两位知情人士透露，阿布扎比国家石油公司（Adnoc）预计其将于本季度上市的天然气板块业务，估值至少为500亿美元，这为今年最受期待的上市股票之一奠定了基础。
这家国有石油巨头于去年11月宣布，将其天然气加工部门和液化天然气（LNG）子公司合并为一家上市实体公司Adnoc Gas。
据拒绝透露姓名的知情人士表示，Adnoc正审议Adnoc Gas至少500亿美元的估值，尽管对估值的审议尚未结束，该公司尚未确定发行的规模。
他们表示，Adnoc Gas最早可能于2月启动IPO，而在3月底开始的斋月期间，周围地区市场活动将有所放缓。
Adnoc拒绝路透社的置评请求。
该公司正在加强对天然气市场的关注，欧洲寻求最早在2024年年中取代所有产能大国能源进口。
Adnoc Gas的估值为500亿美元及以上，与意大利能源集团埃尼、美国炼油商瓦莱罗Valero energy和美国石油生产商西方石油公司Occidental Petroleum大致相当。
据另外两名消息人士称，时间框架的加快推进导致高盛和美银放弃了在此次上市中担任主承销商的角色。他们表示，汇丰已被任命与阿布扎比第一银行就这笔交易展开合作。
根据Dealogic的数据显示，2022年，中东地区的公司通过该地区的IPO筹集了约219亿美元，超过了整个欧洲、中东和非洲地区的一半。
Adnoc首席执行官Sultan al-Jaber正在领导该公司将新能源、低碳燃料(如氨和氢)以及液化天然气和化学品与上游和下游业务合并为一个新的业务部门。
作为阿布扎比经济多元化和吸引外国投资计划的一部分，该公司4年多前启动了转型战略，包括资产货币化。
过去两年，Adnoc先后将旗下石化公司Borouge、化肥和清洁氨产品制造商Fertiglobe和钻井技术公司Adnoc Drilling上市。该公司正在为其物流和服务部门的单独IPO做准备。

ADNOC eyes valuation of at least $50bn for its gas business
The Abu Dhabi National Oil Company (Adnoc) is eyeing a valuation of at least $50 billion for its gas business slated to float this quarter, two sources familiar with the matter said, setting the stage for one of the most highly anticipated stock market listings this year.
The state oil giant announced in November it was combining its gas processing arm and its liquefied natural gas (LNG) subsidiary into a single listed entity.
Adnoc is eyeing a valuation of at least $50 billion for Adnoc Gas, though deliberations over valuations have not finalised and the company is yet to determine the size of the offering, said the sources close to the matter, declining to be named as the matter is not public.
They said an initial public offering of Adnoc Gas could launch as soon as February, ahead of a slowdown in market activity during the fasting month of Ramadan which begins end of March.
Adnoc declined to comment when contacted by Reuters.
The company is sharpening its focus on the gas market as Europe seeks to replace all energy imports from the third largest producer as early as mid-2024.
At $50 billion and above, Adnoc Gas' valuation would be broadly comparable to Italian energy group Eni, US Refiner Valero Energy and US oil producer Occidental Petroleum.
The expedited time frame led Goldman Sachs and Bank of America to give up their roles as lead managers in the flotation, two other sources said. HSBC has been appointed to work with First Abu Dhabi Bank on the deal, they said.
Companies from the Middle East have raised some $21.9 billion through IPOs in the area in 2022, more than half the total for the wider EMEA region, which also includes Europe and Africa, according to Dealogic data.
Adnoc Chief Executive Sultan al-Jaber is leading its push into new energy, low-carbon fuels such as ammonia and hydrogen, as well as LNG and chemicals incorporated into a new business unit alongside the upstream and downstream businesses.
The firm launched a transformation strategy more than four years ago, including monetising assets, as part of Abu Dhabi's plans to diversify the economy and attract foreign investment.
Over the past two years, Adnoc listed petrochemicals company Borouge, fertilisers and clean ammonia products maker Fertiglobe and Adnoc Drilling. It is preparing an IPO of its logistics and services unit.
