據離岸工程9月7日報道，西班牙能源集團雷普索爾（Repsol）簽署了一項協議，將其新成立的全球勘探和生產公司雷普索爾上游（Repsol Upstream）25%的股份以48億美元的價格出售給美國私人股本公司EIG，包括債務。

包括雷普索爾整個全球上游油氣業務的雷普索爾上游公司，將由EIG新成立的全資子公司Breakwater Energy收購。

根據有利的市場條件，該交易預計將使雷普索爾石油和天然氣勘探部門的少數股權在2026年后在美國股市上市。

出售所得將被雷普索爾用于投資能源轉型，特別是增加可再生發電、可再生燃料和循環產品領域。

該交易一旦完成，雷普索爾將擁有其油氣勘探部門75%的多數股權。

該交易意味著雷普索爾上游公司的企業總價值約為190億美元，預計該公司每天將生產近59萬桶油當量。

據估計，雷普索爾上游已探明儲量和可能儲量為23億桶油當量，其中約70%為天然氣。

雷普索爾首席執行官Josu Jon Imaz表示，我們的目標是領導能源轉型。這項開拓性的協議使我們能夠保持上游部門的戰略方向，同時推動公司的轉型及其多元化能源結構，到2050年實現凈零排放。

該交易計劃在未來6個月內完成，屆時將完成上游業務的公司結構并獲得監管部門的批準。

雷普索爾在一份聲明中表示，該部門將繼續將增長重點放在關鍵的區域中心，并在經濟合作與發展組織（OECD）國家擁有多元化的勘探和生產資產組合。

路透社援引三位知情人士的話稱，雷普索爾在另一份聲明中同意將加拿大阿爾伯塔省約9.5萬英畝的油氣生產土地轉讓給Teine Energy公司。

其中一位消息人士稱，此次交易可為雷普索爾賺取高達4億加元（約合3.0465億美元）的收入。

EIG to pay $4.8bn for 25% stake in Repsol’s upstream business

Spanish energy group Repsol has signed a deal to divest a 25% stake in its newly-formed global exploration and production (E&P) company, Repsol Upstream, to US private equity firm EIG for $4.8bn, including debt.

The stake in Repsol Upstream, which comprises the entire global upstream oil and gas business of Repsol, will be purchased by EIG’s newly formed, wholly owned subsidiary Breakwater Energy.

The transaction is expected to lead to the listing of a minority stake in Repsol’s oil and gas exploration division on the US stock market after 2026, subject to favourable market conditions.

Proceeds from the sale will be used by Repsol to invest in the energy transition, specifically to increase renewable power generation, renewable fuels, and circular products segments.

Upon completion of the transaction, Repsol will own a majority stake of 75% in its oil and gas exploration division.

The transaction implies a total enterprise value of approximately $19bn for Repsol Upstream, which is expected to produce nearly 590,000 barrels of oil equivalent per day.

As per the estimates, Repsol Upstream has proved and probable reserves of 2.3 billion barrels of oil equivalent, with approximately 70% being gas.

Repsol CEO Josu Jon Imaz said: “Our ambition is to lead the energy transition. This pioneering agreement allows us to maintain the strategic direction of the upstream unit and, at the same time, to boost the transformation of the company and its multi-energy profile to achieve zero-net emissions by 2050.”

The transaction is scheduled to close within the next six months, upon completion of the corporate structure of the upstream business and receipt of regulatory approvals.

Repsol said in a statement: “The unit will continue to focus growth on key regional hubs and with a diversified portfolio of exploration and production assets in Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries.”

In a separate announcement, Repsol agreed to divest approximately 95,000 net acres of oil and gas producing land in Alberta, Canada, to Teine Energy, reported Reuters, citing three sources familiar with the plan.

The sale could earn up to C$400m ($304.65m) for Repsol, one of the sources said.
