石油设备网讯 据美国彭博新闻社2019年3月18日奥斯陆报道,据知情人士透露,由于挪威能源巨头Equinor关注美国本土的其它远景构造,Equinor时下可能正在考虑出售其在美国鹰福特页岩探区的全部或部分业务。
一位不愿透露姓名的业内人士说,挪威最大的石油公司Equinor已经与有意收购其鹰福特页岩业务的公司进行了谈判。这位消息人士表示,Equinor对出售全部或部分鹰福特页岩业务持开放态度,但也在考虑为这部分业务寻找合作伙伴,因为为其全部业务寻找买家可能比较困难。
Equinor与西班牙石油巨头雷普索尔公司共同拥有这些页岩业务。
Equinor的一位代表拒绝置评。
其前身是挪威国家石油公司的Equinor自2010年以来一直活跃于美国德克萨斯州南部的鹰福特页岩盆地,当时Equinor与塔利斯曼能源公司达成了一项13亿美元的合资协议,将在那里开发页岩气田。2015年,雷普索尔公司收购了塔利斯曼能源公司,继承了双方的合作关系。

Equinor May be Mulling Eagle Ford Sale
Equinor ASA is considering selling all or some of its operations in the Eagle Ford shale in the U.S., according to people familiar with the matter, as it focuses on other stateside prospects.
Norway’s biggest oil company has held talks with potential suitors for its stake in the Eagle Ford business, said one of the people, who asked to not be identified because the matter isn’t public. Equinor is open to selling it outright but is also considering seeking partners for the division as finding a buyer for its entire interest may be difficult, this person said.
Equinor co-owns the unit with Repsol SA, the Spanish oil explorer.
A representative for Equinor declined to comment.
Equinor, which was previously known as Statoil ASA, has been active in the Eagle Ford shale in south Texas since 2010, when it struck a $1.3 billion joint venture deal with Talisman Energy Inc. to develop fields there. Repsol bought Talisman in 2015, inheriting the partnership.
