石油设备网讯 据路透社伦敦报道，据知情人士告诉路透社，以色列Delek集团即将敲定雪佛龙在英国北海的油气田交易，其价格约为20亿美元。
五个消息来源中的两个表示，Delek集团通过其北海石油和天然气运营商Ithaca能源，可以在几天内达成协议。
去年7月，美国石油巨头雪佛龙公司在美国投资银行摩根士丹利的帮助下，开始出售其在北海中部的油气田，包括Alba、Alder、Captain、Elgin/Franklin、Erskine、Jade，以及Britannia平台及其附属设施。
其中一位消息人士称，Delek将为这些资产支付18亿美元至20亿美元，其中不包括雪佛龙在BP运营的克莱尔油田的19.4%的股份。
消息人士称，这家以色列公司击败了竞争对手，包括由英国独立油气公司（Premier Oil）、美国私人股本基金阿波罗全球管理公司以及英国石油化工制造商英力士集团组成的财团，Delek聘请摩根大通和法国巴黎银行作为收购的顾问。
消息人士称，此次收购将标志着Delek朝着公开上市又迈出了一步。本月早些时候，该公司以9.65亿美元收购了壳牌在美国墨西哥湾Caesar-Tonga油田22.45%的股份。

Delek closing in on $2 billion deal for Chevron's North Sea oilfields: sources
Israel’s Delek Group is close to clinching Chevron’s oil and gas fields in the British North Sea, which have a price tag of around $2 billion, sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.
Delek, via its North Sea oil and gas operator Ithaca Energy, could reach an agreement within days, two of five sources said.
U.S. oil major Chevron Corp kicked off the sale of its central North Sea oil and gas fields Alba, Alder, Captain, Elgin/Franklin, Erskine and Jade as well as the Britannia platform and its satellites last July, with the help of U.S. investment bank Morgan Stanley.
One of the sources said that Delek would pay between $1.8 and $2 billion for the assets, which exclude Chevron’s 19.4 percent stake in the BP-operated Clair field.
The Israeli company beat competitors including a consortium formed by Britain’s Premier Oil and U.S. private equity fund Apollo Global Management and also British petrochemical maker Ineos Group, the sources said. It hired JP Morgan and BNP Paribas as advisors to the acquisition.
The acquisition would mark another step for Delek toward its expected public listing, the sources said. The company earlier this month acquired Shell’s 22.45 percent stake in the Caesar-Tonga field in the U.S. Gulf of Mexico for $965 million.
