石油设备网讯 据路透社伦敦报道,行业和银行消息来源称,荷兰皇家壳牌公司正在出售其在印尼价值150亿美元的Abadi液化天然气项目中的股份,根据一项资产处置计划,该计划已经筹集了300多亿美元。
消息来源称,作为全球最大的液化天然气买家和卖家,壳牌公司正在筹集资金,以帮助支付2015年收购BG集团540亿美元的费用,并希望通过出售该项目35%的股份筹集10亿美元。
壳牌决定出售位于Masela区块的Abadi项目(该项目由持有剩余股份的日本石油天然气公司Inpex公司运营)突显出这个东南亚最大经济体在吸引能源投资方面的困难。
该项目原定于2018年开工,但由于印尼当局指示从海上设施转向陆上设施,在2016年,该项目被推迟到至少2020年。

Shell pursuing $1 billion exit from Indonesia LNG project: sources
Royal Dutch Shell is moving to sell its stake in Indonesia’s $15 billion Abadi liquefied natural gas (LNG) project, industry and banking sources said, following on from an asset disposal program that has raised more than $30 billion.
Shell, the world’s largest buyer and seller of LNG, is raising cash to help pay for its $54 billion purchase of BG Group in 2015 and hopes to raise around $1 billion from the sale of its 35 percent stake in the project, the sources said.
Shell’s decision to sell out of the Abadi project in the Masela block, operated by Japanese oil and gas firm Inpex Corp which holds the remaining stake, highlights the difficulty Southeast Asia’s largest economy has in attracting energy investment.
Construction was due to start in 2018, but in 2016 was delayed until at least 2020 after Indonesian authorities instructed a switch from an offshore to an onshore facility.
