石油设备网讯 据离岸工程5月21报道，埃克森美孚(ExxonMobil)正与西班牙雷普索尔(Repsol)和英力士集团(Ineos Group)就出售位于墨西哥湾的一批油田进行谈判。
彭博社(Bloomberg)援引未具名消息人士的话报道了有关会谈的消息。其中一名消息人士表示，出售墨西哥湾资产可能使埃克森美孚获得至多15亿美元。
如果与雷普索尔的谈判取得成果，并达成协议，这将有助于这家西班牙公司加强其在该地区的地位。对于英国石油化工公司英力士(Ineos)而言，这笔交易可能使其首次成为海湾地区的油气生产商。
消息人士告诉彭博社，埃克森美孚可能在一个月内签署一份出售协议。
2018年10月，路透社报道称，这家美国能源巨头正在研究出售墨西哥湾地区的几项资产。该报告补充称，埃克森美孚(ExxonMobil)正考虑出售墨西哥湾的深水资产，这些资产的日产量约为5万桶。
在海湾地区，该公司拥有Julia油田开发50%的股份，Hadrian South天然气田47%的股份，Heidelberg油田9%的股份，Lucius油田23%的股份。该公司热衷于开发圭亚那和巴西等离岸地区，以及二叠纪盆地的陆上页岩开发。

ExxonMobil in talks with Repsol and Ineos for sale of Gulf assets
ExxonMobil is reportedly in negotiations with Spain’s Repsol and Ineos Group to sell a package of oil fields located in the Gulf of Mexico.
The news about the talks was reported by Bloomberg, citing unnamed sources. One of the sources stated that the sale of the Gulf of Mexico assets could fetch ExxonMobil as much as $1.5bn.
If the talks with Repsol bear fruition and a deal is finalised, it would help the Spanish firm to strengthen its position in the region. For the UK petrochemical company Ineos, the deal could allow it to debut as an oil and gas producer in the Gulf.
Sources told Bloomberg that ExxonMobil could sign a sale agreement in as soon as a month.
In October 2018, Reuters reported that the US energy giant was exploring the sale of several assets in the Gulf of Mexico region. The report added that ExxonMobil was contemplating the sale of deepwater assets in the Gulf that produce about 50,000 barrels per day of oil.
In the Gulf, the firm owns a 50% stake in development of the Julia oil field, 47% in the Hadrian South natural gas field, 9% in Heidelberg field and 23% in the Lucius oil and gas field. The company is keen to tap offshore areas such as Guyana and Brazil and onshore shale development in the Permian basin.
