阿曼考慮重組油氣行業(yè)來籌集資金和增加產(chǎn)量

據(jù)原油新聞2020年3月10日迪拜報(bào)道，阿曼石油部的一名消息人士對(duì)標(biāo)普全球普氏能源咨詢記者說，中東地區(qū)除歐佩克以外的最大石油生產(chǎn)國(guó)阿曼時(shí)下正在考慮幾種選項(xiàng)，以重組其國(guó)有石油和天然氣公司，為阿曼的資產(chǎn)負(fù)債表提供急需的現(xiàn)金注入，同時(shí)繼續(xù)實(shí)施旨在增加石油天然氣產(chǎn)量的計(jì)劃。

這名消息人士稱，選項(xiàng)包括成立一家新的國(guó)家石油公司，改變半國(guó)有的阿曼石油開發(fā)公司(PDO)的結(jié)構(gòu)，使其能夠籌集自己的債務(wù)，或上市或剝離部分國(guó)有的OQ。阿曼可能還會(huì)考慮出售一個(gè)大型資產(chǎn)的股份，就像馬來西亞國(guó)家石油公司在2018年底收購阿曼的由英國(guó)石油公司運(yùn)營(yíng)的哈贊天然氣項(xiàng)目10%的股份一樣。

目前的市場(chǎng)狀況使阿曼不太可能很快達(dá)成一項(xiàng)協(xié)議。全球最大的兩個(gè)石油生產(chǎn)國(guó)沙特阿拉伯和俄羅斯未能就延長(zhǎng)減產(chǎn)協(xié)議達(dá)成一致，這為主要產(chǎn)油國(guó)之間可能爆發(fā)價(jià)格戰(zhàn)創(chuàng)造了條件，此后原油價(jià)格大幅下跌。全球石油巨頭們今年也將面臨削減投資計(jì)劃和股東分紅的壓力。這可能使阿曼面臨籌集所需資金的挑戰(zhàn)。

Oman considers restructuring oil & gas sector to raise cash

Oman, the Middle East's biggest oil producer outside of OPEC, is deliberating several options to restructure its state-backed oil and gas companies to provide a much-needed cash injection to the country's balance sheet, while continuing plans to increase production, a ministry source told S&P Global Platts.

Options include creating a new national oil company, changing the structure of semi state-owned Petroleum Development Oman (PDO) to enable it to raise its own debt, or listing or divesting a portion of state-owned OQ, the source said. The country may also consider selling a stake of a large asset, in the same manner as when Petronas bought a 10% stake of Oman's BP-operated Khazzan gas project in late 2018.

Current market conditions make it unlikely that Oman will pursue a deal soon. Crude prices have tumbled after Saudi Arabia and Russia, two of the world's largest oil producers, couldn't agree on extending production cuts, setting the stage for a potential price war among major producing nations. Oil majors will also be under pressure to slash their investment plans and cut shareholder payouts this year. That could make it challenging for Oman to raise the cash that it seeks.
