據路透社5月19日消息，BP與埃尼公司周三表示，雙方已開展談判，討論合并在安哥拉的油氣業務并組建一家在非洲規模靠前的能源公司。

　　兩家公司在一份聲明中表示，雙方已簽署一份不具約束力的諒解備忘錄，討論組建合資公司，兩家的LNG設施也包括在內。

　　BP聲明稱，兩個投資組合的油氣總產量將達到約20萬桶油當量/天。

　　聲明表示，新公司預計將產生顯著協同增效、提升運營效率、拉動投資與增長，并將實現自給自足。

　　路透社上月曾報道，埃尼公司考慮分拆西非、中東的油氣業務并入新合資公司以減少債務，并為其向低碳能源轉型融資。

　　BP, ENI To Merge Oil And Gas Operations In Angola

　　BP and Eni said on Wednesday they had entered into talks to merge their oil and gas operations in Angola to form one of Africa’s largest energy companies.

　　The two companies have signed a non-binding memorandum of understanding and are in discussions on a joint venture that will include their liquefied natural gas (LNG) facilities, they said in a statement.

　　Oil and gas production from both portfolios would reach around 200,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day, BP said in a statement.

　　The new company would be expected to generate significant synergies, create more efficient operations and increase investment and growth in the basin, the statement said. It will also be self-funded, it said.

　　Reuters reported last month that Eni was considering spinning off oil and gas operations in West Africa and the Middle East into new joint ventures to help reduce debt and fund its shift to low-carbon energy.
