據(jù)世界石油6月10日報道，知情人士透露，殼牌公司本周將收到兩項關(guān)于其在尼日利亞陸上油氣田的最終報價。

當(dāng)?shù)毓綡eirs Oil and Gas Ltd.和ND Western Ltd. 正在競相購買殼牌在合資企業(yè)中30%的權(quán)益，該合資企業(yè)在尼日爾三角洲和附近近海地區(qū)經(jīng)營資產(chǎn)。知情人士說，投標(biāo)將于6月10日到期，由于信息是私密的，因此要求不具名。

假設(shè)長期油價為每桶50美元，能源顧問Wood Mackenzie Ltd.去年對殼牌的股權(quán)估值為23億美元。但由于布倫特原油目前的交易價格約為121美元，所持股份的價值可能要高得多。

殼牌、Heirs和ND Western拒絕置評。

殼牌去年宣布打算出售股份。首席執(zhí)行官Ben van Beurden在5月份告訴股東，近年來破壞活動的顯著增加導(dǎo)致公司失控狀態(tài)。

“最后，我們不得不承認(rèn)，這超出了我們的能力范圍。”他說。

其中兩位知情人士表示，與訴訟和環(huán)境責(zé)任相關(guān)的潛在未來成本可能會影響股權(quán)的估值。

今年早些時候，另外兩家本地公司——Seplat Energy Plc和 Sahara Group Ltd.——對殼牌的資產(chǎn)提出了不具約束力的要約，但知情人士表示，他們不再參與競標(biāo)。這些公司沒有回應(yīng)置評請求。

雖然殼牌保留了其深水石油資產(chǎn)和大量液化天然氣，但它并不是唯一一家放棄尼日利亞陸上和淺水油田的能源巨頭。

埃克森美孚公司在2月份同意以約13億美元的價格將其尼日利亞淺水業(yè)務(wù)出售給Seplat，而法國的道達(dá)爾能源希望出售其在與殼牌合資企業(yè)中10%的權(quán)益。

Shell set to receive final offers for 30% stake in Nigeria oil, gas fields

Shell Plc is set to receive two final offers this week for its onshore oil and gas fields in Nigeria, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

Local companies Heirs Oil and Gas Ltd., and ND Western Ltd. are competing to buy Shell’s 30% interest in the joint venture, which operates assets in the Niger Delta and nearby offshore areas. Bids are due June 10, the people said, asking not to be identified because the information is private.

Energy consultant Wood Mackenzie Ltd. last year valued Shell’s stake at $2.3 billion, assuming a long-term oil price of $50 a barrel. But with Brent now trading at about $121, the stake likely is worth significantly more.

Shell, Heirs and ND Western declined to comment.

Shell announced its intention last year to sell the stake. CEO Ben van Beurden told shareholders in May that a significant increase in sabotage in recent years had resulted in a state of near-lawlessness that the company couldn’t control.

“In the end, we have to concede that this is beyond what we can do,” he said.

Potential future costs related to litigation and environmental liabilities likely would affect the stake’s valuation, two of the people said.

Two other local companies — Seplat Energy Plc and Sahara Group Ltd. — put non-binding offers for Shell’s assets earlier this year, but the people said they no longer were in the running. The firms didn’t respond to requests for comment.

While Shell is retaining its deepwater oil assets and its large liquefied natural-gas presence, it’s not the only energy giant turning its back on Nigerian onshore and shallow water fields.

Exxon Mobil Corp. agreed in February to sell its shallow-water unit to Seplat for about $1.3 billion, and France’s TotalEnergies SE wants to offload its 10% interest in the same joint venture Shell is divesting from.
