石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据美国彭博新闻社5月4日曼谷报道，由于泰国国家石油公司（PTT）麾下的上游子公司泰国国家石油公司勘探和生产分公司（PTTEP）设法在储量不断减少之际支撑增长，PTTEP准备今年斥资10亿美元或更多资金收购海外石油资产。 PTTEP首席执行官Somporn日前在曼谷接受媒体记者采访时说，PTTEP时下正在谈判收购东南亚和中东地区石油、天然气或液化天然气资产的股份。今年有望达成一项或多项协议。 已积累50亿美元现金和有价证券的PTTEP在原油价格暴跌撼动了石油工业以后一直在寻找交易。尽管这家公司通过削减成本和投资度过了低迷时期，该公司仍未能复苏储量。PTTEP的储量自2009年达到大约11亿桶峰值以来每年都在减少，按目前的生产速度，其现有的6.31亿桶的探明储量5年以后将开采完。 Sompom补充说：“我们今年将敲定一项或多项协议，每项协议的耗资规模在3亿至10亿美元。PTTEP计划通过合并和收购提高其储量以维持7年的产出。” 李峻 编译自 美国彭博新闻社 原文如下： Cash-rich Thai explorer eyes assets worth up to $1 billion Thailand’s PTT Exploration & Production Pcl is ready to shell out as much as $1 billion on an overseas petroleum asset this year, and possibly more, as it tries to prop up growth amid falling reserves. The upstream unit of state-controlled PTT Pcl is in talks to purchase a stake in oil, natural gas or liquefied natural gas assets in Southeast Asia and the Middle East, Chief Executive Officer Somporn Vongvuthipornchai said in an interview Thursday in Bangkok. One or more deals could be finalized this year, he said. PTT E&P, which has amassed $5 billion in cash and marketable securities, is on the hunt for deals after crude’s slump shook up the industry. While the company weathered the downturn by cutting costs and investments, it hasn’t revived reserves, which have dropped every year since a peak of about 1.1 Bbbl in 2009. Its 631 MMbbl of proved reserves are enough to last five years at current production rates. “We would finalize one or more deals this year with the size in a range of $300 million to $1 billion per deal,” Somporn said. The company plans to boost its reserves to sustain seven years of output through mergers and acquisitions, he added.
