石油设备网讯 据路透社报道，桑托斯在周四的一份声明中表示，该公司将从巴布亚新几内亚（PNG）的P'nyang天然气和凝析油气田现有的合作伙伴那里购买14.3%的股份，其中包括石油搜索公司和日本JX Nippon公司，但主要来自埃克森美孚，总价值1.87亿美元。
这笔交易有助于为桑托斯计划中的PNG液化天然气扩张铺平道路，大致调整桑托斯在液化天然气项目和新气田中13.5%的股份。
桑托斯首席执行官Kevin Gallagher说：“我们今天宣布的安排标志着，通过现有项目资源和p' nyang天然气和凝析油气田为年产能为270万吨的PNG第三条液化天然气生产线提供原料，朝着拟议中的PNG液化天然气扩建迈出了重要一步。”
石油搜索公司表示，将p'nyang天然气和凝析油气田1.65%的股份转让给桑托斯，将获得约2160万美元，使其持股比例达到36.86%。在交易完成后，埃克森美孚将持有该合资项目类似股份，并将其约12.1%的股份转让给桑托斯。
桑托斯的股价在宣布这一消息后上涨了2%，达到两周来的最高水平，市场的整体表现略有增强。

Santos buys into Exxon-led PNG gas field amid political ructions
Santos will buy a 14.3% stake from existing partners in P’nyang, including Oil Search Ltd and JX Nippon, but mostly from ExxonMobil, for a total of $187 million, Santos said in a statement on Thursday.
The deal helps smooth the way for the planned expansion of PNG LNG, roughly aligning Santos’ 13.5% stake in the LNG project and the new gas field.
“The arrangements we announce today mark an important step toward the proposed expansion at the PNG LNG plant via a 2.7 metric tonnes per annum third LNG train fed by existing Project resources and P’nyang,” said Santos’ Chief Executive Kevin Gallagher.
Oil Search said it would receive roughly $21.6 million for relinquishing a 1.65% stake in P’nyang to Santos, bringing its holding to 36.86%. Exxon will hold a similar stake in the venture after the deal, having relinquished about 12.1% of its stake to Santos.
Santos’ shares rose as much as 2% to a two-week high after the announcement, in a slightly stronger broader market.
