石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据路透社墨尔本报道，澳大利亚政府和壳牌澳大利亚公司周三表示，东帝汶已同意以3亿美元的价格收购荷兰皇家壳牌在澳大利亚北海岸大日出天然气田中的股份。 壳牌公司在该项目中持有26.56%股份，该协议将使这个小国能够推动该领域的发展。该区域于1974年被发现，并横跨于澳大利亚和东帝汶之间的海上边界，由于两国之间的边界问题而推迟了发展。 这笔交易是在康菲石油公司上个月出售了它在该项目30%的股份之后达成的。其余的合作伙伴包括澳大利亚的伍德赛德石油公司和日本的大阪天然气公司。 今年早些时候，澳大利亚和东帝汶之间的边界问题得到了解决。东帝汶希望通过将天然气输送到其南部海岸的一家LNG工厂来进一步开发大日出气田，而项目合作伙伴则希望在北澳大利亚的达尔文建立一家工厂。 东帝汶特别代表Xanana Gusmão在声明中表示：“东帝汶赞赏壳牌愿意出售自己在大日出项目中的权益。壳牌在整个谈判过程中的态度表明，它不仅愿意考虑自己的商业利益，而且愿意考虑小国的利益。” 大日出气田（由Sunrise气田和Troubadour气田组成），大约有5.1万亿立方英尺的天然气和2.26亿桶的凝析油（一种与天然气相关联的轻质石油）。 东帝汶购买壳牌股份的条件是，获得东帝汶部长会议和国家议会的资金批准，以及监管和其他方面的批准。 詹晓晶摘自路透社 原文如下： East Timor to buy Shell’s stake in Greater Sunrise gas fields for $300 million East Timor has agreed to buy Royal Dutch Shell’s stake in the Greater Sunrise natural gas fields off the northern coast of Australia for $300 million, the government and Shell Australia said on Wednesday. The agreement for Shell’s 26.56 percent stake in the project will allow the tiny nation to push for development of the field. The site, which was discovered in 1974, straddles the maritime border between Australia and East Timor and disputes between the two countries over the border has delayed development. The deal comes after ConocoPhillips last month sold its 30 percent stake in the project. Remaining partners include Australia’s Woodside Petroleum and Japan’s Osaka Gas. The border issue between Australian and East Timor was settled earlier this year. East Timor wants to develop Greater Sunrise by piping gas to a liquefied natural gas (LNG) plant on its south coast, while the project partners have favored a plant in Darwin in north Australia. “Timor-Leste appreciates Shell’s willingness to sell its interests in the Greater Sunrise project,” Special Representative Xanana Gusmão of East Timor said in the statement. “Shell’s attitude throughout the negotiations shows that it is ready to consider not only its commercial interests but also the interests of small nations.” The Sunrise and Troubadour gas fields, together known as Greater Sunrise, hold around 5.1 trillion cubic feet of gas and about 226 million barrels of condensate, a light oil produced in association with natural gas. East Timor’s purchase of Shell’s stake is conditional on receiving funding approval from the Timor-Leste Council of Ministers and National Parliament, as well as regulatory and other approvals.
