據7月1日Offshore Energy消息：美國能源巨頭和液化天然氣運營商雪佛龍公司已經完成了對彪馬能源公司澳大利亞商業和零售燃料業務的收購。

由托克和Sonangol控股的新加坡彪馬能源向雪佛龍的下游部門出售了彪馬在澳大利亞業務中的全部股份和權益。該交易價格為4.25億澳元(合2.92億美元)。

此次收購為雪佛龍的澳大利亞投資組合增加了一個由360多個零售商服務站組成的網絡。它還包括商業和工業燃料業務，擁有或租用的沿海進口碼頭和燃料分配倉庫。

雪佛龍負責下游和化工業務的執行副總裁馬克?納爾遜表示:“這項戰略收購為我們在亞洲煉油合資企業的產品提供了成熟的基礎設施，從而進一步整合了公司在亞太地區的價值鏈。”

雪佛龍的澳大利亞子公司運營著澳大利亞西部的Gorgon和Wheatstone兩大液化天然氣項目。

值得一提的是，該公司最近宣布正尋求出售其在澳大利亞伍德賽德領導的西北大陸架液化天然氣合資企業中的股份。

雪佛龍在收到數名買家的競標后，啟動了對價值340億美元的項目中所持16.67%股份的正式營銷程序。

宣布消息后，伍德賽德首席執行長科爾曼在一次會議上表示，如果有必要且價格合適，該公司將考慮收購這些股份。

Chevron wraps up Puma acquisition in Australia

US energy giant and LNG operator Chevron has completed the acquisition of Puma Energy’s Australian commercial and retail fuels business.

Singapore’s Puma Energy, majority-owned by Trafigura and Sonangol, sold all off shares and equity interests in the Australian business to Chevron’s downstream unit.

The deal has a price tag of A$425 million ($292 million).

The acquisition adds a network of more than 360 company-owned and retailer-owned service stations to Chevron’s Australian portfolio.

It also includes a commercial and industrial fuels business, owned or leased seaboard import terminals and fuel distribution depots .

“This strategic acquisition further integrates our value chain in the Asia Pacific region by providing a well-developed infrastructure for products from our Asian refining joint ventures in an attractive market,” said Mark Nelson, Chevron’s executive vice president for downstream and chemicals.

Chevron’s Australian unit operates the giant Gorgon and Wheatstone liquefied natural gas projects located in Western Australia.

Worth mentioning here, the company recently announced it is looking to sell its stake in the Woodside-led North West Shelf LNG venture in Australia.

Chevron made a move to start a formal marketing process for its 16.67 per cent stake in the $34 billion project after receiving bids from several buyers.

Following the announcement, Woodside’s chief executive Peter Coleman said during a conference the company would consider acquiring the stake if it deemed necessary and the price was right.
