石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据国外媒体3月18日休斯敦报道，数名接近加油站出售过程的消息人士说，埃克森美孚公司时下正在寻求以5亿欧元（5.37亿美元）的价格出售其在意大利的2500个加油站中的一半加油站。
通过其在当地子公司埃索公司经营加油站的埃克森美孚公司是试图减少其在意大利供应过剩零售市场上曝光的最新石油公司。壳牌公司在去年退出了意大利的燃料零售业务，而道达尔公司和意大利能源集团Erg时下正接近出售他们的合资企业。
根据一些银行业人士，私人股本公司阿波罗正在考虑收购埃索公司和道达尔/Erg公司的2600个加油站来允许其投资组合更加合理以及获取更好的利润。
其中一名银行业人士说，包括凯雷集团在内的其他私人股本集团也表示了有兴趣购买埃索品牌的加油站。
意大利在国内有大约2.1万个加油站，这个数目几乎是在法国数目的两倍以及是在英国数目的三倍。在过去的两年里，意大利政府一直在寻求削减加油站的数目来使它们符合需求并使这个行业更有效。

Exxon Eyes Sale of Italian Retail Network
WENews.com/March 18, 2017/Houston
Exxon Mobil is seeking to sell half of its 2,500 petrol stations in Italy for up to 500 million euros ($537 million), several sources close to the process said.
Exxon, through its local subsidiary Esso, is the latest oil company trying to reduce its exposure to Italy’s oversupplied petrol retail sector. Royal Dutch Shell exited last year and Total and Italian energy group Erg are nearing the sale of their joint venture.
According to a number of banking sources, private equity firm Apollo is considering acquiring both the Esso and Total/Erg’s 2,600 stations to allow it to rationalise the portfolio and squeeze better profits.
One of the banking sources said that other private equity groups, including Carlyle have shown interest in buying the Esso branded stations.
Italy has around 21,000 service stations across the country, almost twice the number in France and almost three times that of Britain.
Over the past two years, the government has been seeking to cut the number of stations to bring them into line with demand and make the industry more efficient.
