石油圈 中国石化新闻网讯 据WENews.com网站9月4日休斯顿报道，全球最大的近海钻井公司美国钻机承包商越洋公司（Transocean Ltd ）周二在休斯敦表示，越洋公司将以现金加股票的方式收购同行国际著名海上钻井承包商塞浦路斯海洋钻机超深水公司（Ocean rig UDW Inc .），交易价大约为27亿美元，其中包括债务。 这笔交易将帮助总部位于瑞士的越洋公司增强其能在超深水和恶劣环境中进行钻井作业的浮式钻机船队。越洋公司首席执行官Jeremy Thigpen表示：“在过去几个季度里的油价持续稳定、海上项目成本降低以及不可否认的储量替代挑战，这些因素导致了海上合同活动的大幅增加。” 越洋公司将以每股1.6128股新发行股票和12.75美元现金来收购海洋钻机超深水公司的每股普通股，每股隐含价值为32.28美元，比该股上周五收盘价溢价19.2%。交易完成后，越洋公司股东们将持有合并后公司大约79%的股份，海洋钻机超深水公司的股东们将持有其余21%的股份。 美国花旗银行是越洋公司的财务顾问，而瑞士信贷证券(美国)有限责任公司是海洋钻机超深水公司的财务顾问。 李峻 编译自 WENews.com 原文如下： Transocean to Buy Ocean Rig in $2.7 bln Deal
Drilling rig contractor Transocean Ltd said on Tuesday it would acquire peer Ocean Rig UDW
Inc in a cash-and-stock deal valued at about $2.7 billion, including debt.
The deal will help Switzerland-based Transocean enhance its fleet of ultra-deepwater and

streamlined offshore project costs, and undeniable reserve replacement challenges has driven
a material increase in offshore contracting activity,” said Transocean Chief Executive
Officer Jeremy Thigpen.
Transocean will pay 1.6128 newly issued shares and $12.75 in cash for each share of Ocean
Rig’s common stock for a total implied value of $32.28 per Ocean Rig share, which represents
a premium of 19.2 percent to the stock’s Friday’s close.
Upon completion, Transocean shareholders will own about 79 percent of the combined company,
while Ocean Rig shareholders will hold the remaining 21 percent.
