中国石化新闻网讯 据道琼斯马德里2月26日消息，西班牙雷普索尔公司与荷兰皇家壳牌有限公司周二表示，雷普索尔将以67亿美元的价格将旗下部分液化天然气（LNG）资产出售给壳牌，此举不仅扩大了壳牌的LNG业务，同时也帮助减轻了雷普索尔的债务重负。
壳牌将向雷普索尔支付44亿美元现金并承担后者23亿美元金融租赁业务和债务，作为收购上述资产的对价。这部分资产不包括雷普索尔公司最初挂牌出售的加拿大LNG接收终端资产，但包括雷普索尔在秘鲁、特立尼达拉岛和多巴哥岛的液化装置以及在西班牙的一处LNG接收终端。预计该交易将在2013年年底或2014年年初完成。
雷普索尔称，上述资产出售交易将给公司带来35亿美元的税前资本利得。

DJ Repsol Sells Some LNG Assets to Shell for $6.7 Billion
By Ilan Brat
MADRID--Repsol SA (REPYY, REP.MC) will sell some of its liquefied-natural-gas assets to Royal Dutch Shell PLC (RDSA, RDSB) for EUR6.7 billion, increasing Shell's LNG exposure and helping Repsol cut a heavy debt load, the companies said on Tuesday.
Shell will pay $4.4 billion in cash and assume $2.3 billion in financial leases and debt for a package of assets that would exclude a Canadian LNG import terminal that Madrid-based Repsol had originally also put up for sale. The Spanish company's liquefaction facilities in Peru and Trinidad and Tobago along with an LNG import terminal in Spain remain part of the deal, which is expected to close by the end of the year or early 2014.
Repsol said the sale will generate a pre-tax capital gain of $3.5 billion.
