英國SDX能源出售50%埃及非核心資產(chǎn)

據(jù)7月15日Trade Arabia消息：總部位于英國的SDX能源公司是一家以中東和北非地區(qū)為重點的石油和天然氣公司，該公司已經(jīng)將位于埃及東部沙漠的North West Gemsa許可證上50%的開采權(quán)轉(zhuǎn)讓給了一家埃及私營油氣公司-海灣能源公司。

海灣能源公司已支付300萬美元作為公司利息的補償，其中140萬美元用于償還公司在許可證上的剩余債務(wù)。160萬美元的凈收益超出管理層出售這項非核心資產(chǎn)的預(yù)期。此次出售是SDX持續(xù)關(guān)注的一部分，也是對資本紀律和審慎管理集團投資組合的承諾，同時也為進一步加強資產(chǎn)負債表提供額外資金。

SDX首席執(zhí)行官馬克·里德表示：“很高興完成對西北Gemsa許可證的出售。盡管一段時間以來我們對非核心許可證表示出了濃厚興趣，但由于許可證減少產(chǎn)量和邊際凈收益，故以可觀的現(xiàn)金回報退出許可，并避免即將到來的約200萬美元的相關(guān)預(yù)算資本支出，這是一個可喜的結(jié)果。

“這筆交易表明，我們將繼續(xù)專注于投資組合和資本管理，期待將這些資金回收到項目中，從而在未來進一步增強我們的業(yè)務(wù)?！?/span>

SDX sells 50pc stake in non-core Egypt asset

UK-based SDX Energy, the Mena-focused oil and gas company, has disposed of its 50% working interest in the North West Gemsa licence, situated in the Eastern Desert of Egypt to Gulf Energy, a private Egyptian oil and gas company.

Gulf Energy has paid $3 million in consideration for the Company's interest, of which $1.4 million has been used to discharge the Company's remaining liabilities on the licence.

The net $1.6 million proceeds exceeds management's expectations for the sale of this non-core asset. The disposal is part of SDX's ongoing focus and commitment to capital discipline and careful management of the Group's portfolio whilst also providing additional cash to further strengthen its balance sheet.

Mark Reid, CEO of SDX, commented: "We are pleased to complete the sale of our interest in the North West Gemsa licence. Whilst we have presented our interest in the licence as non-core for some time, owing to its reducing production and marginal netbacks, it is a welcome outcome to be exiting the licence with a useful cash consideration and also avoiding the upcoming associated budgeted capex of approximately $2 million for the year.

“This deal demonstrates our continued focus on portfolio and capital management, and we look forward to recycling the cash into projects that will further enhance and grow our business in the future."
