穆巴達(dá)拉將與巴國油談判就收購巴伊亞煉油廠

據(jù)烴加工新聞7月10日消息稱，巴西國家石油公司在一份證券文件中說，阿布扎比的投資基金穆巴達(dá)拉投資公司將與巴西國家石油公司進(jìn)行獨(dú)家談判，以收購巴西第二大煉油廠。

接近談判的三名人士說，周四早些時候，路透社率先報道，穆巴達(dá)拉在擊敗印度Essar集團(tuán)的競爭后，已進(jìn)入收購這家名為Rlam的煉油廠的內(nèi)部通道。

巴西國家石油公司在一份文件中證實，穆巴達(dá)拉提交了最佳報價，并受邀進(jìn)行談判。

知情人士周四表示，穆巴達(dá)拉將與巴西國家石油公司進(jìn)行獨(dú)家談判，討論合同條款，預(yù)計將持續(xù)數(shù)周時間。由于談判當(dāng)時尚未公開，這些人士拒絕透露姓名。

消息人士稱，如果合同發(fā)生重大變化，巴西國家石油公司將根據(jù)價格召集競爭對手進(jìn)行第二輪投標(biāo)。

據(jù)路透社6月報道，印度企業(yè)集團(tuán)Essar也對Rlam發(fā)出了具有約束力的收購要約，如果巴西國家石油公司決定重新招標(biāo)，Essar可能會再次參與競購。

Rlam位于巴西北部巴伊亞州，日產(chǎn)量為33萬桶。該煉油廠是巴西國家石油公司計劃出售的8家煉油廠中的第一家，以結(jié)束其在巴西燃料加工領(lǐng)域近乎壟斷的地位。

Mubadala set for exclusive talks with Petrobras to buy Bahia refinery

Abu Dhabi’s investment fund Mubadala Investment Co will enter into exclusive talks with Petrobras to purchase Brazil’s second-largest refinery, the Brazilian state-owned oil company said in a securities filing.

Reuters was the first to report earlier on Thursday that Mubadala was on an inside track to acquire the refinery, known as Rlam, after beating back competition from India’s Essar Group, according to three people close to the negotiations.

Petroleo Brasileiro SA, as Petrobras is formally known, confirmed in a filing that Mubadala had submitted the best offer and was invited to negotiate.

Mubadala will discuss the contract terms with Brazil’s Petrobras in an exclusive negotiation expected to take several weeks, the people said on Thursday, declining to be named as the talks were not public at the time.

If the contract changes significantly, Petrobras will call back competitors for a second round of bids based on price, the sources said.

Indian conglomerate Essar also made a binding offer for Rlam, as Reuters reported in June, and could compete again for the refinery if Petrobras decides to retender it.

Rlam, which is based in the northern state of Bahia and has a 330,000 barrels a day capacity, is the first of a group of eight refineries Petrobras plans to sell to end its near monopoly in fuel processing in Brazil.
