據世界石油網5月20日消息 殼牌石油公司已與馬蘭帕亞能源XP Pte有限公司（Udenna Corporation子公司）簽署協議，出售其在殼牌菲律賓勘探有限公司（SPEX）的100%股權。SPEX持有38號服務合同（SC38）45%的運營權益，其中包括生產馬蘭帕亞氣田。出售的基本對價為3.8億美元，2022年至2024年期間，根據資產表現和商品價格，額外支付高達8000萬美元。根據合作伙伴和監管機構的同意，該交易計劃于2021年底完成。

　　殼牌上游主管Wael Sawan說：“自從2002年開始商業運營以來，馬蘭帕亞已經提供了菲律賓能源需求的很大一部分，在資產和經驗豐富的勞動力安全過渡之后，它將繼續用本土天然氣為菲律賓供電。今天的聲明與殼牌努力將我們的上游投資組合轉向專注于9個核心頭寸的投資組合是一致的。”

　　SPEX員工將繼續提供連續性工作，這有助于持續運行的可靠性和安全性。馬蘭帕亞及其工作人員在過去20年中為菲律賓和當地社區作出了重大貢獻，預計將繼續在為菲律賓提供能源方面發揮重要作用。

　　這項交易對殼牌在該國的其他分支公司沒有影響。經過一個多世紀的成功運作，菲律賓仍然是殼牌的重要國家。殼牌將繼續在菲律賓尋找機會，在那里它可以根據自己的戰略利用自己的全球專長。

　　Shell inks $380 million deal for its Malampaya, Philippines gas field

　　Shell Petroleum N.V. has signed an agreement with Malampaya Energy XP Pte Ltd (a subsidiary of Udenna Corporation), for the sale of its 100% shareholding in Shell Philippines Exploration B.V. (SPEX). SPEX holds a 45% operating interest in Service Contract 38 (SC38), which includes the producing Malampaya gas field. The base consideration for the sale is US$380 million, with additional payments of up to US$80 million between 2022 to 2024 contingent on asset performance and commodity prices. Subject to partner and regulatory consent, the transaction is targeted to complete by the end of 2021.

　　“Since it began commercial operations in 2002, Malampaya has supplied a significant portion of the Philippines’ energy demand and it will continue powering the country with indigenous gas following a safe transition of the asset and its experienced workforce,” said Wael Sawan, Shell’s Upstream Director. “Today’s announcement is consistent with Shell’s efforts to shift our Upstream portfolio to one that is focused on nine core positions.”

　　SPEX staff will continue their employment under the new ownership, providing continuity and contributing to ongoing operational reliability and safety. Malampaya and its staff have made significant contributions to the Philippines and to the local community over the past two decades and are expected to continue playing an important role in providing energy for the Philippines.

　　This deal has no impact on other Shell businesses in country. The Philippines remains an important country for Shell after over a century of successful operations. Shell will continue to pursue opportunities in the Philippines where it can leverage its global expertise in line with its strategy.
