石油设备网讯 据WENews.com网站6月2日休斯敦报道,据知情人士透露,阿曼石油公司(Oman Oil Co.)计划在审查重组其业务选项之际出售位于阿曼国内的一个关键天然气田的10%股份。
这名因信息没有公开而要求匿名的知情人士说,英国能源巨头英国石油公司拥有60%股份的哈赞大气田的资产大约价值10亿美元或10亿美元以上。知情人士说,该资产吸引了中国、中东和印度公司的兴趣,而拥有哈赞大气田40%股份的阿曼石油公司预计将在7月前收到投标。
知情人士说,出售哈赞大气田10%股份一事尚未作出最终决定,阿曼石油巨头可能仍会决定保留所持股份。记者无法立即联系到阿曼石油公司的代表置评。
知情人士本月曾说,阿曼石油公司正在与投资银行瑞德集团合作研究如何重振其业务。与海湾邻国一样,在油价暴跌以后,阿曼也在寻求减少对石油的依赖。

Oman Oil Is Said to Seek Buyers for Stake in Khazzan Gas Field
Oman Oil Co. is planning to sell a 10 percent stake in a key natural gas field in the sultanate amid a review of the state-owned energy producer’s options for restructuring its business, according to people with knowledge of the matter.
The holding in the Khazzan gas field, which is 60 percent owned by energy giant BP Plc, could be worth about $1 billion or more, the people said, asking not to be identified as the information is private. The asset is drawing interest from Chinese, Middle Eastern and Indian companies, and Oman Oil, which owns 40 percent of the field, expects to get bids by July, the people said.
No final decisions have been made and the oil giant may still decide to retain the stake, the people said. Representatives for Oman Oil couldn’t immediately be reached for comment.
The energy producer is working with investment bank Lazard Ltd. on ways to revitalize its operations as Oman, like its Gulf neighbors, seeks to reduce its dependence on oil following a crash in prices, people familiar with the matter said this month.
