石油设备网讯 据普氏能源资讯5月6日报道称，巴西国家石油公司周一在一份声明中称，该公司计划出售阿根廷天然气加工公司MEGA 34％的股份。在新的行政长官罗伯特·卡斯特罗布兰科的带领下该公司加速出售其资产。
巴西国家石油公司称，MEGA在Loma La Lata气田中心拥有一座天然气分离工厂，日产量可达4000万立方米。此外，该公司还在巴伊亚布兰卡石化厂运营着一家分馏厂，每天可将500万立方米铜加工成丁烷，乙烷和丙烷。这两座工厂由一条长600公里，直径为12英寸的管道相连。
巴西国家石油公司表示：“Mega拥有阿根廷最大的天然气处理设施之一”。该公司指出，Mega对阿根廷的石化基础设施“至关重要”。
巴西国家石油公司表示，考虑到阿根廷对Vaca Muerta页岩气产量增长的前景，该公司还有很大的上行空间。“增加工厂产能和供气管道的研究已在进行中，”巴西国家石油公司表示。还称，这些工厂于2001年开始运营，采用最新技术和高效设备建造。
巴西石油公司表示，阿根廷的YPF持有38％的股份，而陶氏化学公司持有剩余的28％股份。

Brazil's Petrobras to sell stake in Argentinian natural gas processing unit MEGA
Brazilian state-led oil company Petrobras plans to sell its 34% stake in Argentinian natural gas processing company MEGA, the latest in an accelerating wave of asset sales under the leadership of new Chief Executive Roberto Castello Branco, Petrobras said in a statement Monday.
MEGA owns a gas separation plant in the heart of the Loma La Lata Field that can process up to 40 million cu m/d, Petrobras said. In addition, the company also operates a fractioning plant at the Bahia Blanca petrochemicals complex that can process 5 million cu m/d into butane, ethane and propane, Petrobras said. The two plants are linked by a 600 km, 12-inch diameter pipeline.
"Mega has one of the biggest natural gas-processing installations in Argentina," Petrobras said, noting that the company is "essential" to Argentina's petrochemicals infrastructure.
The company also has plenty of upside, given Argentina's outlook for rising gas production from the Vaca Muerta shale formation, Petrobras said. "Studies to increase the plants' capacity and gas-supply pipelines are already underway," Petrobras said. The plants, which started operations in 2001, were constructed using the latest technology and efficiency equipment, Petrobras said.
Argentina's YPF owns 38%, while Dow Chemical retains the remaining 28% share, Petrobras said.
