石油设备网讯 据哈特能源5月10日消息，NuStar能源公司同意以2.5亿美元的股票收购协议，将其圣尤斯塔提乌斯码头出售给Prostar Capital公司。
此次出售标志着NuStar退出了存储终端设施所在的加勒比海地区，这家总部位于圣安东尼奥的公司正专注于扩大其在北美的核心资产，包括二叠纪盆地。
NuStar总裁兼首席执行官Brad Barron在一份声明中表示：“我们很高兴这次出售使我们能够重新部署销售收入，以改善我们的财务指标，并为我们在北美的核心业务增长项目提供资金。”
Barron表示，NuStar将在2019年专注于二叠纪原油系统和其他二叠纪盆地驱动的机会，比如科珀斯克里斯蒂出口设施项目，以及位于美国西海岸的项目。
圣尤斯塔提乌斯码头由60个商用储罐和相关的深水码头和管道组成，总库容为230万立方米。Prostar高级董事总经理Steve Bickerton表示，该设施位于加勒比海地区，为几个关键贸易国家提供服务。“我们很高兴收购一个拥有许多关键战略优势的高质量码头设施，包括位于全球和区域石油贸易十字路口的关键位置、与主要全球石油交易商的长期客户关系、强大的本地运营团队，以及一个可以随着增长机会出现而扩大产能的高度灵活的基础设施。”

NuStar Energy Exits Caribbean With $250 Million Asset Sale
NuStar Energy LP agreed to sell its St. Eustatius Terminal on May 10 to Prostar Capital in a stock purchase agreement with $250 million.
The sale marks NuStar’s exit from the Caribbean, where the storage terminal facility is located, as the San Antonio-based company focuses on growing its core assets in North America including in the Permian Basin.
“We are pleased that this sale allows us to re-deploy the sales proceeds to improve our financial metrics and fund our growth projects for our core business in North America,” Brad Barron, president and CEO of NuStar, said in a statement.
In 2019, Barron said NuStar will focus on its Permian Crude System and other Permian Basin-driven opportunities like its Corpus Christi export facility projects as well as projects along the West Coast of the U.S.
The St. Eustatius Terminal consists of 60 commercial tanks and associated deepwater jetties and pipelines, with a total storage capacity of 2.3 million cubic meters. Located in the Caribbean region, the facility serves several key trading countries, said Steve Bickerton, senior managing director of Prostar.
“We are excited to be acquiring a high-quality terminal facility with many key strategic advantages, including a location at the crossroads of global and regional oil trade, long-term customer relationships with major global oil traders, a strong local operations team, and a highly flexible infrastructure that allows for capacity expansion as growth opportunities arise,” Bickerton said in a statement.
