壳牌开始出售挪威油田和管道股份

据管道新闻网6月12日消息称，据路透社报道，荷兰皇家壳牌(Royal Dutch Shell)已启动出售其在挪威两个油田和两条管道的股份。

根据该文件，壳牌将出售其在Kvitebjorn油田和管道中的6.45％的权益，以及在瓦莱蒙子公司和瓦莱蒙富有天然气管道公司中的3.225％的权益。

海上资产由挪威国有石油公司Equinor运营。

该文件称，出售的资源总量为1700万桶石油当量，相当于日产7200桶石油当量。

据业内和银行业消息人士称，预计这些资产总计将筹资5000万-1亿美元。

该公司的一位发言人说：“壳牌一直在评估我们在全球的业务机会，包括我们在挪威的地位。由于商业敏感性，我们可能会或不会参与这些活动，对此我们无法置评，目前也没有什么可补充的。”

根据其年度报告，壳牌目前是挪威海上34个生产许可证的合作伙伴，并运营着其中的14个。

2018年，壳牌将其在挪威的几项资产以5.66亿美元的价格出售给了OKEA。OKEA是一家由私人股本公司克莱斯特投资公司支持的挪威生产商。

Shell Launches Sale of Stakes in Norwegian Fields, Pipelines — Document

Royal Dutch Shell has launched the sale of its stakes in two oilfields and two pipelines in Norway, according to a sales document seen by Reuters.

Shell is selling its 6.45% interest in the Kvitebjorn field and pipeline and its 3.225% interest in the Valemon Unit and Valemon Rich Gas Pipeline, according to the document.

The offshore assets are operated by state-controlled Norwegian oil firm Equinor.

The total amount of resources being sold is 17 million barrels of oil equivalent with an annual daily production of 7,200 barrels of oil equivalent, according to the document.

The assets are expected to raise between $50 and $100 million in total, according to industry and banking sources.

"Shell continuously evaluates opportunities for our global portfolio including our position in Norway,” a spokesman for the company said. “We are not able to comment on activities that we may or may not engage in due to commercial sensitivities and have nothing more to add at this time."

Shell is currently a partner in 34 production licenses offshore Norway and operates 14 of them, according to its annual report.

In 2018, Shell sold several of its Norwegian assets to OKEA, a Norwegian producer backed by private equity firm Seacrest Capital, for $566 million.
