赫斯5億美元出售墨西哥灣Shenzi油田28%權(quán)益

據(jù)世界石油紐約報道，美國著名綜合性石油公司赫斯公司日前簽訂一項協(xié)議，以5.05億美元的總價把其位于墨西哥灣深水區(qū)的Shenzi油田的28%權(quán)益出售給了這個油田的作業(yè)者澳大利亞礦業(yè)巨頭必和必拓(BHP Billiton)公司。

這筆交易從2020年7月1日起開始生效。Shenzi油田在今年前8個月的平均油氣日產(chǎn)量為1.1萬桶油當(dāng)量。

赫斯公司首席執(zhí)行官約翰·赫斯說：“出售Shenzi油田28%權(quán)益獲得的收益將用于為我們在圭亞那的世界級投資機會提供資金。”

“此次權(quán)益出售符合我們在當(dāng)前低油價環(huán)境下保留現(xiàn)金和保持資產(chǎn)長期價值的戰(zhàn)略，”赫斯如是說。

這筆受慣例成交條件約束的交易預(yù)計將在2020年年底前結(jié)束。

Hess sells Gulf of Mexico Shenzi interest to BHP for $505 million

Hess Corporation has entered into an agreement to sell its 28% working interest in the Shenzi Field in the deepwater Gulf of Mexico to BHP Billiton, the field’s operator, for a total consideration of $505 million, subject to customary adjustments, with an effective date of July 1, 2020. The field produced an average of 11,000 net barrels of oil equivalent per day in the first eight months of 2020.

“Proceeds will be used to fund our world class investment opportunity in Guyana,” CEO John Hess said. “This sale is aligned with our strategy to preserve cash and preserve the long term value of our assets in the current low oil price environment.”

The transaction is expected to close before year end 2020 and is subject to customary closing conditions.
