據(jù)OE網(wǎng)站2月21日?qǐng)?bào)道，據(jù)三位業(yè)內(nèi)消息人士告訴路透社，雪佛龍希望出售其在赤道幾內(nèi)亞三個(gè)油氣田的股份，希望最近能源價(jià)格的上漲將有助于吸引買家。

作為2020年以130億美元收購來寶能源的一部分，這家美國公司收購了這個(gè)西非國家的資產(chǎn)。

據(jù)消息人士稱，雪佛龍已聘請(qǐng)投資銀行杰弗里斯（Jefferies）負(fù)責(zé)銷售過程，該過程可能會(huì)籌集高達(dá)10億美元的資金。

雪佛龍及Jefferies拒絕置評(píng)。

據(jù)消息人士稱，出售赤道幾內(nèi)亞資產(chǎn)的決定正值雪佛龍專注于其利潤最高的生產(chǎn)中心，包括美國二疊紀(jì)頁巖盆地和哈薩克斯坦。

隨著油價(jià)達(dá)到七年來的最高水平，以及強(qiáng)勁的需求前景，世界頂級(jí)石油和天然氣公司希望吸引較小的買家，如私募股權(quán)支持的生產(chǎn)商，購買老化和非核心資產(chǎn)。

雪佛龍持有赤道幾內(nèi)亞區(qū)塊1的Aseng油田和Yolanda天然氣田38%的權(quán)益，以及O區(qū)塊的Alen天然氣和凝析氣田45%的權(quán)益。該公司經(jīng)營這三個(gè)油氣田。

去年12月，該公司就杜阿拉盆地的一個(gè)海上區(qū)塊簽署了產(chǎn)量分成協(xié)議，從而擴(kuò)大了其在赤道幾內(nèi)亞的業(yè)務(wù)。

根據(jù)雪佛龍的年度報(bào)告，2020年，赤道幾內(nèi)亞的資產(chǎn)為雪佛龍的儲(chǔ)量增加了4410億立方英尺的天然氣。

Report: Chevron Eyes Sale of Three Oil and Gas Fields in Equatorial Guinea

Chevron is looking to sell its stakes in three oil and gas fields in Equatorial Guinea, hoping a recent rally in energy prices will help attract buyers, three industry sources told Reuters.

The U.S. company acquired the assets in the West African country as part of the $13 billion acquisition of Noble Energy in 2020.

Chevron has hired investment bank Jefferies to run the sale process which could raise as much as $1 billion, the sources said.

Chevron declined to comment. Jefferies declined to comment.

The decision to sell the Equatorial Guinea assets comes as Chevron focuses on its most profitable production hubs including the U.S. Permian shale basin and Kazakhstan, the sources said.

With oil prices at their highest in seven years and a strong demand outlook, the world's top oil and gas companies are hoping to attract smaller buyers, such as private equity-backed producers, to aging and non-core assets.

Chevron holds a 38% interest in the Aseng oilfield and the Yolanda natural gas field in Equatorial Guinea's Block 1 as well as a 45% interest in the Alen gas and condensate field in Block O. It operates the three fields.

The company expanded its presence in Equatorial Guinea in December when it signed a production-sharing agreement for an offshore block in the Douala Basin.

The Equatorial Guinea assets added 441 billion cubic feet of natural gas to Chevron's reserves in 2020, according to its annual report.
