據(jù)烴加工新聞5月12日消息稱(chēng),伊拉克國(guó)營(yíng)石油運(yùn)營(yíng)公司負(fù)責(zé)人周一表示,伊拉克正式要求購(gòu)買(mǎi)美國(guó)能源巨頭埃克森美孚在伊拉克最大油田西古爾納1號(hào)的股份。
伊拉克上月表示,埃克森美孚正尋求出售其在西古爾納1號(hào)油田32.7%的股份,而伊拉克石油部已開(kāi)始就可能的收購(gòu)展開(kāi)討論。
巴士拉石油公司主管Khalid Hamza在接受路透采訪時(shí)表示:“我們已經(jīng)做出了決定,我們向埃克森美孚發(fā)出了一封正式信函,要求購(gòu)買(mǎi)其股份。”他補(bǔ)充說(shuō),石油和財(cái)政部將跟進(jìn)確保安全的程序。
他說(shuō),埃克森美孚正尋求以3.5億美元的價(jià)格出售這部分股份。
此前,有關(guān)購(gòu)買(mǎi)該股的正式請(qǐng)求從未被報(bào)道過(guò)。
Hamza說(shuō),巴士拉石油公司在收購(gòu)股權(quán)后,將與其他運(yùn)營(yíng)該油田的合作伙伴協(xié)調(diào),以確保業(yè)務(wù)順利進(jìn)行。
西古爾納1號(hào)的其他外國(guó)股東包括中石油、日本伊藤忠商事株式會(huì)社(Itochu Corp)和印尼國(guó)家石油公司,分別持有32.7%、19.6%和10%的股份。
伊拉克國(guó)有石油勘探公司持有其余5%的股份。
對(duì)歐佩克第二大產(chǎn)油國(guó)伊拉克來(lái)說(shuō),石油收入至少占其收入的95%。

Iraq formally asks to buy $350 mln Exxon oilfield share
Iraq has formally asked to buy U.S. energy giant ExxonMobil's share in one of Iraq's biggest oilfields, West Qurna 1, the head of the state-run oil operating company said on Monday.
Iraq said last month that Exxon was seeking to sell its 32.7 per cent stake in West Qurna 1, and that the oil ministry had started discussions over a possible purchase.
"A decision has been made and we sent a formal letter to ExxonMobil asking to buy its share," Basra Oil Company director Khalid Hamza told Reuters in an interview, adding the oil and finance ministries will follow up with procedures to secure the finance.
He said Exxon was seeking to sell the share for $350 million.
The formal request to buy the share has not been previously reported.
Hamza said the Basra Oil Company would, after acquiring the stake, coordinate with the other partners operating the field to ensure operations continue smoothly.
The other foreign shareholders in West Qurna 1 are Petrochina with a 32.7 per cent stake, Japan's Itochu Corp with 19.6 per cent and Indonesia's Pertamina with 10 per cent.
The Iraq state-run Oil Exploration Company holds the remaining 5 per cent.
For Iraq, OPEC's second-largest producer, oil revenue represents at least 95 per cent of its income.
