据称，港湾能源公司拥有广泛的国际增长机会、强劲的资产负债表以及为进一步增长和股东回报提供资金的财务灵活性。港湾能源公司的业务显示，它致力于负责地生产石油和天然气来帮助满足全球的能源需求，集团的碳强度比英国石油和天然气生产商平均碳强度要低，并且承诺到2035年前实现零温室气体排放。

港湾能源公司首席执行官琳达·Z·库克在4月1日发布的公司声明中表示，“对港湾能源公司以及所有与Premier石油公司和Chrysaor控股公司有关的人来说，这是具有里程碑意义的一天。”

库克在声明中补充道，“作为英国最大的独立上市石油和天然气公司，港湾能源公司为投资者提供了一个独特的机会，将两家互补的投资组合与北海基础设施、具有吸引力的全球业务和强大的资产负债表结合在一起。”

Premier石油公司成立于1934年，最初在特立尼达勘探石油和天然气。Chrysaor控股公司成立于2007年，并通过一系列收购迅速发展壮大。

Largest UK Listed Independent Oil Co Born

Harbour Energy plc has revealed that its ordinary share capital has been admitted to trading on the London Stock Exchange’s main market.

The development follows the completion of the all-share merger of Chrysaor Holdings Ltd and Premier Oil plc, from which Harbour Energy was formed. The combined business is a global independent oil and gas company, and the largest UK listed independent oil and gas company, according to its website, which shows that the entity produces over 200,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day from the North Sea and South East Asia.

Harbour Energy is said to have a broad set of international growth opportunities, a strong balance sheet, and the financial flexibility to fund both further growth and shareholder returns. The business notes that it is committed to producing oil and gas responsibly to help meet the world’s energy needs and that the group has a lower carbon intensity than the average UK oil and gas producer, as well as a commitment to achieve net zero greenhouse gas emissions by 2035.

“This is a landmark day for Harbour Energy and all of those involved with Premier and Chrysaor,” Linda Z Cook said in a company statement published on April 1.

“As the largest UK listed independent oil and gas company, Harbour offers a unique opportunity for investors, bringing together two complementary portfolios with a material North Sea foundation, an attractive global footprint and a strong balance sheet,” Cook added in the statement.

Premier Oil was established in in 1934, initially to explore for oil and gas in Trinidad. Chrysaor was founded in 2007 and grew rapidly through a series of acquisitions.
