石油圈中國石化新聞網訊 據路透社墨西哥、加拉加斯報道，三位消息人士表示，荷蘭皇家殼牌公司正在談判，將其在委內瑞拉石油合資公司的股份出售給總部位于巴黎的Maurel & Prom公司。此舉旨在縮減在這個境況不佳的歐佩克成員國的原油業務，將重點放在天然氣上。 殼牌正尋求出售其與PDVSA的合資公司（Petroregional del Lago，該合資公司位于委內瑞拉西部蘇利亞州，靠近哥倫比亞）40%的股份。 由于委內瑞拉仍然深陷于嚴重的經濟衰退、惡性的通貨膨脹和長期食品、藥品的短缺之中，該地區一直受到設備被盜和幾乎每天停電的困擾。 其中一位消息人士稱，在Petroregional，殼牌因未能及時從 PDVSA獲得股息，以及少數合作伙伴獨立出口生產的禁令，這使得2016年每天生產約3.3萬桶原油的Petroregional失去了急需的收入，并影響了盈利能力。 據兩位消息人士透露，委內瑞拉石油部正在分析其潛在的銷售。這些消息來源被要求保持匿名，因為他們沒有被授權談論談判。 這些人不知道殼牌公司和Maurel & Prom之間可能談判的價格，其主要利益相關者是印尼國家石油公司Pertamina 2013年，Pertamina試圖通過收購另一家合資公司（Petrodelta）的股份進入委內瑞拉，但沒有得到政府的批準。 Maurel & Prom公司傳統上專注于非洲市場，但近年來，它也與總部位于多倫多的Frontera能源公司在哥倫比亞和秘魯地區結成了戰略聯盟。其中一位消息人士說，Maurel & Prom計劃收購Petroregional，作為財團的一部分。 殼牌潛在規模正在縮小，因為世界上最大的原油儲備地委內瑞拉的石油工業陷入了崩潰。歐佩克上周四公布的數據顯示，其9月份的石油產量再次下降至每天144.3萬桶，將年平均產量拉至60年來的最低水平。 殼牌公司是在委內瑞拉的一家先驅公司，在其石油行業經營了一個多世紀。但自已故總統Hugo Chavez在2007年將部分能源行業國有化，將所有石油項目轉化為由PDVSA控股的合資企業以來，該公司一直在委內瑞拉保持低調。 Petroregional在委內瑞拉傳統石油樞紐馬拉開波湖經營的Urdaneta Oeste油田，是殼牌在委內瑞拉唯一的原油業務。蘇利亞州曾是該國最重要的原油產區，但近年來其產量卻一落千丈。 退出Petroregional 將使殼牌更加關注天然氣，這是該公司當務之急。 根據一項仍在與委內瑞拉談判中的計劃，殼牌正在推動達成一項協議，讓其在Dragon油田生產天然氣，Dragon油田是加勒比海近海項目的四個地區之一。殼牌公司表示，天然氣將在其在特立尼達和多巴哥經營的工廠進行加工。 2016年，殼牌完成了對BG集團520億美元的收購，成為全球最大的液化天然氣交易商。這次收購和其他收購使得殼牌公司在距離委內瑞拉東海岸幾公里的特立尼達有更多的機會進入天然氣業務。 詹曉晶摘自路透社 原文如下： Shell seeks to sell Venezuela JV stake to France’s Maurel & Prom Royal Dutch Shell Plc (RDSa.AS) is negotiating the sale of its stake in a Venezuelan oil joint venture to Paris-based Maurel & Prom (MAUP.PA), three sources said this week, a move to scale down its crude business in the ailing OPEC-member country to focus on gas. The Anglo-Dutch company is seeking to sell its 40 percent stake in Petroregional del Lago, a joint venture with Venezuela’s state-run oil company PDVSA [PDVSA.UL] in the western state of Zulia near Colombia. The area has been plagued by frequent theft of equipment and near-daily power cuts as Venezuela remains mired in deep recession, hyperinflation and chronic shortages of food and medicine. At Petroregional, Shell has grown frustrated by delays in receiving dividends from PDVSA and a ban on minority partners independently exporting production, one of the sources said. That has deprived Petroregional, which in 2016 produced about 33,000 barrels per day (bpd) of crude, of much-needed income and dented profitability, the source added. Its potential sale is being analyzed by Venezuela’s Oil Ministry, according to two of the sources. The sources asked to remain anonymous because they were not authorized to speak about the negotiations. The persons were unaware of a possible price tag negotiated between Shell and Maurel & Prom, whose main stakeholder is Indonesian state energy firm Pertamina [PERTM.UL]. Pertamina in 2013 tried to enter Venezuela by buying a stake in another joint venture, Petrodelta, but did not receive government approval. Maurel & Prom has traditionally been focused on Africa, but it has also formed strategic alliances with Toronto-based Frontera Energy Corp (FEC.TO) in Colombia and Peru in recent years. One of the sources said Maurel & Prom was planning to buy Petroregional as part of a consortium. Shell’s potential scale-back comes as Venezuela’s oil industry, home to the world’s biggest crude reserves, is in meltdown. Its oil output declined again in September to 1.434 million barrels per day (bpd), OPEC data showed on Thursday, knocking down the annual average to a six-decade low. Shell was a pioneering firm in Venezuela and has operated in its oil industry for more than a century. But it has maintained a low profile in Venezuela since late President Hugo Chavez nationalized swaths of the energy sector in 2007, converting all oil projects into PDVSA-controlled joint ventures. Petroregional, which operates the Urdaneta Oeste crude field in Venezuela’s traditional oil hub of Maracaibo Lake, is Shell’s only crude operation in Venezuela. In recent years, production has plummeted in what used to be the country’s most important crude producing zone, Zulia state. Exiting Petroregional would allow Shell to focus more on natural gas, a priority for the company. Under a plan still under negotiation with Venezuela, Shell is pushing for a deal to let it produce gas in the Dragon field, one of four areas that form part of the Mariscal Sucre offshore project in the Caribbean sea. Shell has said the gas would be processed at facilities it operates in Trinidad and Tobago. Shell in 2016 completed the $52 billion purchase of BG Group, creating the world’s largest trader of liquefied natural gas (LNG). The takeover and other purchases gave Shell greater access to gas operations in Trinidad, a few kilometers from Venezuela’s eastern coast.? ?
