據能源世界網5月19日倫敦報道，荷蘭皇家殼牌公司（royaldutchshell）首席執行官本?范?貝爾登（benvanbeurden）周二表示，該公司正與尼日利亞政府就出售其在陸上油田的股份進行談判。
殼牌是這個西非國家陸上油氣合資企業SPDC的運營商。多年來，由于管道盜竊和破壞以及運營問題，該公司一直在尼日爾三角洲遭遇石油泄漏。石油泄漏導致了昂貴的修復操作和備受關注的訴訟。
殼牌首席執行官本?范?貝爾登在公司年度股東大會上表示，殼牌不能再面臨盜竊和蓄意破壞的風險。我們不能解決尼日爾三角洲的社區問題，這也許是尼日利亞政府要解決的。我們可以盡力而為，但在某個時刻，我們還必須得出結論，這是一種不再符合我們風險偏好的風險敞口。我們已經得出了這個結論，現在我們正與尼日利亞政府就未來的方向進行談判。
尼日利亞石油部長Timipre Sylva證實，政府正與殼牌就如何剝離陸上股權進行談判。
Sylva在一份聲明中表示，雙方正在考慮將這些股權轉讓給SPDC或另一家當地公司，或出售給一家外國公司。
殼牌在尼日利亞的陸上合資企業SPDC在過去十年中出售了約50%的石油資產。殼牌在SPDC的股權使其在2020年每天獲得15.6萬桶油當量，其中6.6萬桶是石油。

Shell in talks with Nigeria to divest onshore oil stakes
Royal Dutch Shell is in talks with the Nigerian government to sell the Anglo-Dutch company's stake in onshore oilfields, CEO Ben van Beurden said on Tuesday.
Shell, the operator of the West African country's onshore oil and gas joint venture SPDC, has struggled for years with spills in the Niger Delta as a result of pipeline theft and sabotage as well as operational issues. The spills have led to costly repair operations and high-profile lawsuits.
Speaking at the company's annual general meeting, CEO Ben van Beurden said that Shell can no longer be exposed to the risk of theft and sabotage.
"We cannot solve community problems in the Niger Delta, that's for the Nigerian government perhaps to solve. We can do our best, but at some point in time, we also have to conclude that this is an exposure that doesn't fit with our risk appetite anymore," van Beurden said.
"We've drawn that conclusion, and we're now talking to the Nigerian government on the way forward."
Nigerian Oil Minister Timipre Sylva confirmed the government was in talks with Shell on how to divesting its onshore stakes.
The sides are considering transferring the stakes to SPDC or to another local company or selling it to a foreign company, Sylva said in a statement.
Shell's Nigerian onshore joint venture SPDC has sold about 50% of its oil assets over the past decade. Shell's stake in SPDC gave it 156,000 barrels per day of oil equivalent in 2020, of which 66,000 barrels were oil.
