科威特能源公司計劃在倫敦實施首次公開募股

中國石化新聞網訊 據美國彭博新聞社3月2日倫敦報道，根據政府知情人士所說，科威特能源公司計劃在倫敦進行首次公開募股（IPO），首次公開募股有望為這家科威特油氣勘探公司籌集到10億美元。
因細節沒有公開而要求不透露名字的知情人士說，這家在阿曼、埃及、伊拉克和也門擁有資產的獨立能源公司時下正與美國銀行一起工作。
其中一名知情人士說，日本的野村證券公司也在科威特能源公司潛在的IPO中起作用。
他們說，盡管迄今還沒有做出任何最終決定，科威特能源公司可能在今年上半年上市。
科威特能源公司沒有立即回應記者的置評請求，而美國銀行和野村證券公司的代表拒絕發表評論。
在油價在2014年暴跌以來，尋求上市的油氣公司數目大幅減少。最新在倫敦實施規模IPO的公司是尼日利亞油氣勘探公司Seplat石油開發公司，后者通過IPO共籌集了5億多美元。

Kuwait Energy said to plan London IPO, seeking $1-billion valuation
3/2/2017
LONDON (Bloomberg) — Kuwait Energy is planning an initial public offering in London that could value the oil and gas exploration business at as much as $1 billion, according to authorities familiar with the matter.
The independent energy firm, with assets across Oman, Egypt, Iraq and Yemen, is working with Bank of America, the people said, asking not to be identified as the details aren’t public. Numis Corp also has a role on the potential IPO, one of the people said. A listing could take place in the first half, though no final decisions have been made, they said.
Kuwait Energy didn’t immediately respond to requests, while representatives for Bank of America, Numis declined to comment.
The number of oil and gas companies going public dwindled after oil prices crashed in 2014. The last IPO of size in London was that of Nigerian oil and gas explorer Seplat Petroleum Development, which raised more than $500 million that year.
