据9月22日Energy Voice报道,知情人士表示,随着美国石油巨头埃克森美孚(ExxonMobil)寻求完全退出北海油气区域,该公司在英国北海的资产吸引了多家国有和私营石油企业的竞购。

知情人士表示,科威特外国石油勘探公司(Kufpec)和英国的EnQuest都在竞标之列。由于新冠肺炎疫情的影响和油价下跌,埃克森美孚于今年7月开始出售这些资产。

知情人士称,Tailwind Energy的股权合伙人是大宗商品交易商摩科瑞能源集团(Mercuria Energy Group),该公司提交了报价,NEO Energy和Siccar Point Energy也提交了报价。两名知情人士表示,最近收购北海公司Rockrose Energy的新公司Viaro Energy也参与了竞标。

据彭博社透露,埃克森美孚将出售其在15个油田的股份,预计这些油田今年的日净产量将达到3.7万桶。管道基础设施以及两个勘探区域的股权也在竞标中。

这笔交易建立在埃克森美孚撤出欧洲(这是其数十亿美元全球撤资计划的一部分)以及重新关注美国业务的基础上。该公司去年退出了挪威市场,将其资产以45亿美元的价格卖给了Var Energy。

埃克森美孚此前曾表示,正在探索市场对全球范围内许多资产的兴趣,包括对英国中部和北部北海的非经营资产的兴趣。

知情人士表示,有约束力的竞购定于今年10月到期,交易预计将在2021年第一季度完成。

EnQuest, Sinopec ‘among bidders’ for ExxonMobil UK North Sea oil and gas fields

ExxonMobil’s UK North Sea assets have attracted suitors from state-owned companies to private equity-backed firms as the US oil giant seeks to exit the aging region altogether, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

Kuwait Foreign Petroleum Exploration Company (Kufpec) and the UK’s EnQuest are among bidders, the people said, asking not to be identified as the process isn’t public. Exxon started the sale in July following delays caused by the spread of the coronavirus and slumping oil prices.

Tailwind Energy, whose equity partner is commodity trader Mercuria Energy Group, also submitted a bid, as did NEO Energy and Siccar Point Energy, according to the people. Newcomer Viaro Energy, which recently acquired North Sea company Rockrose Energy, is involved in the process as well, two people said.

Exxon is offering its stake in 15 fields, which are expected to produce 37,000 barrels of oil equivalent a day net to the company this year, according to marketing documents seen by Bloomberg. Stakes in pipeline infrastructure as well as two exploration areas are also up for grabs.

The sale builds on Exxon’s retreat from Europe as part of a multibillion-dollar global divestment plan and a renewed focus on US operations. The company exited Norway last year, selling its assets to Var Energi for $4.5 billion.

Exxon previously said it’s “exploring market interest for a number of assets worldwide, including its interest in non-operated assets in the UK central and northern North Sea.” It had no further comment to add for this story.

Sinopec and EnQuest declined to comment, as did NEO Energy and Viaro. Kufpec didn’t immediately respond to requests for comment. Tailwind Energy and Siccar Point also didn’t respond.

Binding bids are due in October, and the deal is expected to close in the first quarter of 2021, the people said.
