中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社11月16日报道,澳大利亚的竞争监督机构上周五表示,它不会反对油气公司桑托斯以21.5亿美元收购私人持有的象限能源。 澳大利亚竞争和消费者委员会(ACCC)在一份声明中表示,这次收购不太可能减少向西澳大利亚供应天然气的竞争。 ACCC主席Rod Sims表示:“ACCC认为,桑托斯和象限能源将继续面临一系列供应商的激烈竞争,包括雪佛龙和伍德赛德等大型LNG生产商。” 桑托斯在另一份声明中表示,收购的批准为收购扫清了一个障碍,目前预计收购将在几周内结束。 桑托斯在8月底宣布了这次收购,仅仅几周之前,象限公司与其合资伙伴卡那封石油公司就发现了一处油田,被誉为20多年来西澳大利亚最大的发现。 詹晓晶摘自路透社 原文如下: Santos’ Quadrant buy approved by Aussie competition watchdog Australia’s competition watchdog said on Friday that it will not oppose oil and gas firm Santos Ltd’s $2.15 billion acquisition of privately held Quadrant Energy. The Australian Competition and Consumer Commission (ACCC)said in a statement that the acquisition would be unlikely to reduce competition in the supply of gas to Western Australia. “The ACCC considers that a combined Santos/Quadrant will continue to face strong competition from a range of suppliers, including large LNG producers such as Chevron and Woodside,” said ACCC Chair Rod Sims. Santos said in a separate statement that the ACCC’s approval cleared a condition for the acquisition, which is now expected to close “within weeks”. Santos had announced the buy in late-August, just a few weeks after Quadrant and its joint venture partner Carnarvon Petroleum discovered an oil field that was touted as the biggest discovery off Western Australia for more than 20 years.
