石油设备网讯 据离岸工程5月27日报道称，德国能源集团Uniper与澳大利亚基金首域全球投资（First State Investments）达成协议，将出售其在海上液化天然气工厂Toscana（OLT）的股权。
首域全球投资基金会将收购Uniper在OLT的全部股权。而收购Uniper股权的价格约为4亿欧元（4.52亿美元），同时还将在2018年和2019年对Uniper已经交割的任何供应进行调整。由此产生的净收益预计将在今年晚些时候达到3.4亿欧元。
Uniper持有OLT 48.2％的股份。OLT的其他股东包括持有49.1％股份的意大利IREN集团和持有2.7％股权的Golar LNG。
Uniper积极开发欧洲的液化天然气基础设施，并在全球采购和交易液化天然气。OLT是一项受监管的资产，对于Uniper来说，OLT纯粹是少数股东的金融参与。因此，作为OLT的股东，对于Uniper扩展和优化自己的液化天然气产品组合没有任何好处。
Uniper首席运营官EckhardtRümmler表示：“我们很高兴将我们在OLT的股份剥离给像First State Investments这样经验丰富的天然气基础设施投资者。我们一直认为，作为战略性非核心资产的现有天然气基础设施投资可能适合投资组合轮换。这意味着我们将把销售所得再投资于能够产生诱人回报的成长型业务。出售协议是我们系统实施战略的另一个例子。”

Uniper Sells Italian LNG Plant Stake
German energy group Uniper has concluded an agreement with Australian fund First State Investments to divest its stake in OLT Offshore liquefied natural gas (LNG) Toscana.
First State Investments will acquire Uniper’s entire OLT stake. The purchase price for Uniper’s stake amounts to approx. €400 million ($452 million) and will be adjusted at closing for any distributions already made to Uniper in 2018 and 2019. The resulting net proceeds at a closing later this year are expected to be at a level of approx. €340 million.
Uniper has a 48.2% stake in OLT. OLT’s other shareholders are Italy-based IREN Group, which has a 49.1% stake, and Golar LNG, which has a 2.7% stake.
OLT is the company that developed and operates “FSRU Toscana”, a floating storage and regasification unit. The unit is moored about 22 kilometers from the Tuscan coast between Pisa and Livorno and has a maximum authorized regasification capacity of 3.75 billion cubic meters per year.
Uniper is active in developing LNG infrastructure in Europe and in procuring and trading LNG worldwide. OLT is a regulated asset and for Uniper a purely financial minority participation. Therefore, being a shareholder of OLT offers Uniper no advantages for expanding and optimizing its own LNG portfolio.
Eckhardt Rümmler, Uniper COO said: “We’re pleased to divest our stake in OLT Offshore LNG Toscana to an experienced gas infrastructure investor like First State Investments. We’ve always said that selected existing gas infrastructure investments which we consider as strategic non-core assets may be suitable for portfolio rotation. That means that we would reinvest the sale proceeds in our growth businesses that generate attractive returns. The agreement on the sale is another example of how we’re systematically implementing our strategy.”
