雪佛龙将以50亿美元收购诺布尔能源

据7月20日Offshore Energy报道称，石油巨头雪佛龙（Chevron）已与诺布尔能源（Noble Energy）达成最终协议，收购诺布尔能源所有已发行股票，交易价值50亿美元，每股10.38美元。

根据雪佛龙公司于2020年7月17日的收盘价，诺布尔能源公司将根据雪佛龙公司的每股1190.0股的价格获得雪佛龙能源公司的股份，这笔交易的企业总价值（包括债务）为130亿美元。

雪佛龙表示，收购诺布尔能源为公司提供了低成本、已探明储量和有吸引力的未开发资源，这些资源将增强已具有优势的上游投资组合。

诺布尔能源在以色列带来了低资本、可产生现金的离岸资产，加强了雪佛龙在东地中海的地位，也还提高了雪佛龙在美国的非传统地位。

雪佛龙董事长兼首席执行官迈克尔沃思（Michael Wirth）表示：“我们强大的资产负债表和财务纪律使我们能够灵活地在这些充满挑战的时期成为优质资产的买家。”

Chevron to buy Noble Energy in deal valued at $5 billion

Oil major Chevron has entered into a definitive agreement with Noble Energy to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Noble Energy in an all-stock transaction valued at $5 billion, or $10.38 per share.

Based on Chevron’s closing price on 17 July 2020 and under the terms of the agreement, Noble Energy shareholders will receive 0.1191 shares of Chevron for each Noble Energy share, Chevron said on Monday.

The total enterprise value, including debt, of the transaction is $13 billion.

The acquisition of Noble Energy provides Chevron with low-cost, proved reserves and attractive undeveloped resources that will enhance an already advantaged upstream portfolio., Chevron explained.

Noble Energy brings low-capital, cash-generating offshore assets in Israel, strengthening Chevron’s position in the Eastern Mediterranean. Noble Energy also enhances Chevron’s U.S. unconventional position with de-risked acreage in the DJ Basin and 92,000 largely contiguous and adjacent acres in the Permian Basin.

“Our strong balance sheet and financial discipline gives us the flexibility to be a buyer of quality assets during these challenging times”, said Chevron Chairman and CEO Michael Wirth.
