埃克森美孚就黑海天然气项目股权交易展开谈判

据罗马尼亚新闻11月20日报道，美国埃克森美孚公司(ExxonMobil)执行董事阿德里安 沃林蒂鲁(Adrian Volintiru)表示，该公司聘请的顾问已与罗马尼亚国有天然气公司Romgaz联系，就退出黑海天然气项目事宜进行商讨。

Volintiru证实，Romgaz有意以50:50的比例购买埃克森美孚与OMV Petrom共同开发的黑海天然气项目15-20%的股权。

Volintiru指出:“我们确实对这项交易很感兴趣，但必须经过多个步骤才能做出最终决定。”

如果埃克森美孚想要收回到目前为止在这个项目上的投资（大约7.5亿美元），那么Romgaz应该支付大约2.2-3亿美元来获得这15-20%的股份。此外，到2025年，该项目还需要投资30亿美元，其中Romgaz应贡献约4.5-6亿美元。

这将增加Romgaz正在开发或正在建设的其他主要投资项目的压力，包括Mintia燃气发电厂，在Trident的海上天然气项目(由卢克石油开发)中12%股权的出资，以及对希腊亚历山大城液化天然气终端的出资。

Exxon in talks with Romanian state-owned Romgaz to sell stake in Black Sea gas project

The consultants hired by American group ExxonMobil to prepare the exit from the Neptun Deep offshore gas project in the Black Sea have contacted Romanian state-owned gas producer Romgaz with a proposal, the company’s executive director Adrian Volintiru, told Profit.ro.

Volintiru confirmed that the Romanian company is interested in buying a 15-20% minority stake in the project that ExxonMobil is developing together with OMV Petrom under a 50:50 arrangement.

“We are interested, it is true, but it is a multi-step process that must be undergone before making the final decision,” Volintiru said.

In case Exxon wants to recover the investment made so far in the project, of approximately USD 750 million, Romgaz should pay about USD 220-300 mln for a 15-20% stake. Additionally, another USD 3 billion needs to be invested in the project by 2025, to which Romgaz should contribute around USD 450-600 mln.

This would add to other major investment projects Romgaz has under development or in the pipeline, including the Mintia gas fired power plant, the contribution for its 12% stake in Trident offshore gas project (developed by Lukoil), and the contribution to the LNG terminal Alexandroupolis in Greece.
