據全球能源新聞網8月9日報道，英國石油公司已達成一項協議，將其在俄亥俄州bp- husky Toledo煉油廠50%的權益出售給其在該煉油廠的合資伙伴、總部位于卡爾加里的Cenovus。

根據該協議條款，Cenovus將支付3億美元購買英國石油公司在該煉油廠的股份，加上存貨價值，并在交易結束時接管業務，交易預計將在2022年晚些時候完成。bp和Cenovus還將簽訂一份多年產品供應協議。

這家bp旗下的企業，100多年來一直是該地區經濟的重要組成部分，支持就業，并安全供應汽油、柴油和其他基本燃料和產品。

bp美國公司董事長兼總裁戴夫勞勒表示，公司在Toledo建立的業務感到自豪，數十年來提供了數千個高薪工作崗位，并為俄亥俄州經濟和美國的能源安全作出了重大貢獻。作為在俄亥俄州的合作伙伴，Cenovus處于將這一重要業務引入未來的理想位置。

在此之前，英國石油公司與Cenovus最近達成了另一項協議，兩項協議一起將有助于重塑英國石油公司的北美石油和天然氣投資組合，以實現長期盈利增長。

今年6月，英國石油公司達成協議，將其在加拿大艾伯塔省Sunrise油砂項目中的權益出售給 Cenovus，并同意收購Cenovus在紐芬蘭和拉布拉多近海的Bay du Nord項目的權益。該交易預計也將于2022年完成，屆時bp將不再擁有油砂生產的權益，并將重點轉移到加拿大未來潛在的海上業務增長。在美國，在剝離其在bp - Husky Toledo煉油廠的股份后，bp的煉油業務組合將從3家減少到2家。展望未來，bp將重點投資于位于印第安納州的Whiting煉油廠和位于華盛頓的Cherry Point煉油廠，這兩家煉油廠的戰略定位是為中西部和太平洋西北部的客戶服務。

bp SELLS ITS 50% INTERESTS IN HUSKY TOLEDO REFINERY IN OHIO TO CENOVUS

bp has reached an agreement to sell its 50% interest in the bp-Husky Toledo Refinery in Ohio to Calgary-based Cenovus, its joint venture partner in the facility.

Under the terms of the deal, Cenovus will pay $300 million for bp’s stake in the refinery, plus the value of inventory, and take over operations when the transaction closes, which is expected to occur later in 2022. bp and Cenovus will also enter into a multi-year product supply agreement.

The bp-operated refinery, which can process up to 160,000 barrels of crude oil per day, has been an important part of the region’s economy for more than 100 years, supporting jobs and safely supplying gasoline, diesel and other essential fuels and products.

Dave Lawler, chairman and president, bp America, said:

“We are proud of the business we have built in Toledo, which has provided thousands of good-paying jobs and made significant contributions to Ohio’s economy and America’s energy security for decades. As our partner in Ohio, Cenovus is ideally placed to take this important business into the future.”

The announcement follows another recent deal with Cenovus that, taken together, will help reshape bp’s North American oil and gas portfolio for long-term profitable growth.

In June, bp entered into an agreement to sell its interest in the Sunrise oil sands project in Alberta, Canada, to Cenovus and agreed to acquire Cenovus’s interest in the Bay du Nord project offshore Newfoundland and Labrador. Following the close of that deal, also expected in 2022, bp will no longer have interests in oil sands production and will shift its focus to future potential offshore growth in Canada.

In the US, after divesting its stake in the bp-Husky Toledo Refinery, bp’s refining portfolio will reduce from three to two facilities. Going forward, bp will focus investment on its Whiting refinery in Indiana and Cherry Point refinery in Washington, which are strategically positioned to serve customers in the Midwest and Pacific Northwest.
