石油圈中国石化新闻网讯 据彭博社悉尼11月27日消息，澳大利亚石油天然气生产商Santos周二表示，他们已完成以21.5亿美元收购Quadrant Energy公司的项目。 Santos董事总经理兼首席执行官Kevin Gallagher说：“收购Quadrant对Santos股东来说是一种价值增值，符合我们围绕现有基础设施建设和增长核心资产、成为澳大利亚国内领先天然气供应商的战略。” 他补充说，此举将使桑托斯增加其所有权，并成为高质量低成本、寿命长、现金流稳定的西澳大利亚传统天然气资产组合的运营商。 他说：“该投资组合还包括在极具前景的Bedout盆地中占据领先地位，包括最近在多拉多发现的重大油田。” Quadrant持有多拉多合资企业80%的股份，其余股份由澳大利亚上市公司Carnarvon持有。 多拉多最初的产量较早前固定在50000桶/天，但加拿大皇家银行资本市场分析师Ben Wilson本月早些时候表示，产量可能在80000-100000桶/天的范围内。 Santos在9月的一份报告中表示，计划在2019年为多拉多开发项目组建一个包含2-3口井的评估项目，并计划在2020年开发FEED。 威尔逊表示，第一批石油有望在2023年左右出现。 Santos持有澳大利亚北部Barossa-Caldita合资企业25％的股份，同时也是Darwin LNG的合伙人，拥有11.5％的股份以及13.5%的PNG LNG股份。 Gallagher表示，此次收购将该公司形式上的自由现金流盈亏平衡油价降至约32澳元/桶(23美元/桶)。 Santos公司表示，收购完成后，Santos支付了19.3亿美元，其中包括21.5亿美元的购买价格，减去完成调整和现金收购。 Quadrant是澳大利亚领先的石油天然气公司之一，主要业务集中在澳大利亚西北部近海的Exmouth和Carnarvon盆地。截至去年12月，它拥有21项勘探许可证，10份保留租约和16份生产许可证 。 该公司补充说，它是西澳大利亚国内天然气市场最大的单一贡献者，在该国石油生产中占很大比例。 曹海斌 摘译自 彭博社 原文如下： Australian oil, gas producer Santos completes Quadrant Energy acquisition Australian oil and gas producer Santos said Tuesday that it had completed its $2.15 billion acquisition of Quadrant Energy. “The acquisition of Quadrant is value accretive for Santos shareholders and is consistent with our strategy to build and grow our core assets around existing infrastructure and become Australia’s leading domestic natural gas supplier,” Santos Managing Director and CEO Kevin Gallagher said. The move sees Santos increase its ownership and become the operator of a high-quality portfolio of low-cost, long-life conventional Western Australian gas assets with stable cash flows, he added. “The portfolio also includes a leading position in the highly prospective Bedout Basin, including the recent significant oil discovery at Dorado,” he said. Quadrant holds an 80% interest in the Dorado joint venture with Australia-listed Carnarvon holding the rest. Dorado’s initial production rate was earlier pegged at 50,000 b/d, but RBC Capital Markets analyst Ben Wilson said earlier this month that it could be in the range of 80,000-100,000 b/d. Santos said in a presentation in September that an appraisal program comprising 2-3 wells was planned for 2019 for the Dorado development with FEED targeted for 2020. Wilson said first oil could be expected by around 2023. Santos holds a 25% interest in the northern Australia Barossa-Caldita joint venture and is also a partner in Darwin LNG with 11.5% interest as well as a 13.5% stake in PNG LNG. Gallagher said that the acquisition lowered the company’s proforma free cash flow breakeven oil price to about A$32/b ($23/b). On completion of the acquisition, Santos paid $1.93 billion, comprising the purchase price of $2.15 billion less completion adjustments and cash acquired, the company said. Quadrant is one of Australia’s leading oil and gas companies, with a primary focus on the Exmouth and Carnarvon basins offshore north Western Australia, where, as of December last year, it had an interest in 21 exploration permits, 10 retention leases and 16 production licenses. It is the largest single contributor to the Western Australian domestic gas market and accounts for a significant proportion of the nation’s oil production, it added.
