據美國鉆井網站休斯敦報道，美國第4大石油公司西方石油公司(Oxy)日前宣布，Oxy已簽署一項協議，把其在哥倫比亞的陸上資產以8.25億美元的總價出售給凱雷集團。

根據Oxy的說法，已同意的金額中7億美元將預先支付，剩余的1.25億美元將根據特定的生產和商品價格目標支付。這筆交易預計將在今年第4季度完成，陸上資產包括 Llanos Norte、中馬格達萊納和普圖馬約盆地的運營和開采權益。Oxy表示，該公司將繼續在哥倫比亞開展業務。

Oxy總裁兼首席執行官Vicki Hollub在一份公司聲明中表示：“Oxy與哥倫比亞國家石油公司（Ecopetrol）在哥倫比亞的合作已經超過40年，在推動哥倫比亞能源發展方面，Oxy一直是Ecopetrol的關鍵合作伙伴，對此我們感到非常榮幸。”

Hollub補充道，“我們已把與Ecopetrol的戰略伙伴關系擴展到美國陸上以及哥倫比亞的海上勘探區塊。這些極具前景的海上區塊蘊藏著巨大的潛力，可以顯著提升哥倫比亞的能源資源。”

Oxy Selling Onshore Colombia Assets for $825MM

Occidental Petroleum Corporation (NYSE: OXY) has announced that it has signed an agreement to sell its onshore assets in Colombia to The Carlyle Group for a total consideration of approximately $825 million.

According to Oxy, $700 million of the agreed amount will come up front and the remainder will be payable subject to certain production and commodity price targets. The deal, which is expected to close in the fourth quarter of 2020, includes operations and working interests in the Llanos Norte, Middle Magdalena and Putumayo Basins. Oxy said it will retain a presence in the country with its exploration blocks offshore Colombia.

“Occidental has operated in Colombia, in partnership with Ecopetrol, for more than 40 years and is honored to remain a key partner in driving the country’s energy evolution,” Oxy President and CEO Vicki Hollub said in a company statement.

“We have expanded our strategic partnership with Ecopetrol to the onshore U.S. and to exploration blocks offshore Colombia. These highly prospective offshore blocks hold tremendous potential that could significantly bolster the country’s energy resources,” Hollub added.
