尼日利亚国家石油公司将私有化

据路透社9越8日报道，尼日利亚是非洲最大的原油出口国，该国期待已久的石油改革法案将使尼日利亚国家石油公司(NNPC)私有化，将对去年年底对深水油田特许权使用费修改进行调整，并废除主要监管机构，成立新的机构。

法案建议将尼国油转变为一家有限责任公司。然后，政府将支付现金购买该公司的股票，并将作为一个无法获得国家资金的商业实体运营。理论上，这些变化将使这家陷入困境的公司更容易筹集到资金。

该法案还将修改去年出台的备受争议的海上油田开采权使用费的变更，即将日产量低于1.5万桶的海上油田的开采权使用费从10%下调至7.5%。还将改变以价格为基础的特许权使用费，即在油价升至50美元/桶时生效。

Nigeria would privatise NNPC, amend royalties under draft oil reform bill

Nigeria’s long-awaited oil reform bill would privatise the Nigerian National Petroleum Company (NNPC), amend changes to deepwater royalties made late last year and scrap key regulatory agencies in favour of new bodies, a copy of the bill seen by Reuters showed.

The bill proposes turning the NNPC into a limited liability corporation into which the ministers of finance and petroleum would transfer NNPC assets.

The government would then pay cash for shares of the company and it would operate as a commercial entity without access to state funds.

The changes would in theory make it easier for the struggling company to raise funds.

The legislation would also amend controversial changes to deep offshore royalties made late last year by cutting the royalty for offshore fields producing less than 15,000 barrels per day (bpd) to 7.5% from 10%.

It would also change a price-based royalty so that it kicked in when oil prices climbed above $50 per barrel, rather than $35.
