石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据美国彭博新闻社3月2日伦敦报道，根据政府知情人士所说，科威特能源公司计划在伦敦进行首次公开募股（IPO），首次公开募股有望为这家科威特油气勘探公司筹集到10亿美元。
因细节没有公开而要求不透露名字的知情人士说，这家在阿曼、埃及、伊拉克和也门拥有资产的独立能源公司时下正与美国银行一起工作。
其中一名知情人士说，日本的野村证券公司也在科威特能源公司潜在的IPO中起作用。
他们说，尽管迄今还没有做出任何最终决定，科威特能源公司可能在今年上半年上市。
科威特能源公司没有立即回应记者的置评请求，而美国银行和野村证券公司的代表拒绝发表评论。
在油价在2014年暴跌以来，寻求上市的油气公司数目大幅减少。最新在伦敦实施规模IPO的公司是尼日利亚油气勘探公司Seplat石油开发公司，后者通过IPO共筹集了5亿多美元。

Kuwait Energy said to plan London IPO, seeking $1-billion valuation
3/2/2017
LONDON (Bloomberg) — Kuwait Energy is planning an initial public offering in London that could value the oil and gas exploration business at as much as $1 billion, according to authorities familiar with the matter.
The independent energy firm, with assets across Oman, Egypt, Iraq and Yemen, is working with Bank of America, the people said, asking not to be identified as the details aren’t public. Numis Corp also has a role on the potential IPO, one of the people said. A listing could take place in the first half, though no final decisions have been made, they said.
Kuwait Energy didn’t immediately respond to requests, while representatives for Bank of America, Numis declined to comment.
The number of oil and gas companies going public dwindled after oil prices crashed in 2014. The last IPO of size in London was that of Nigerian oil and gas explorer Seplat Petroleum Development, which raised more than $500 million that year.
