據(jù)7月20日Offshore Energy報道稱，石油巨頭雪佛龍（Chevron）已與諾布爾能源（Noble Energy）達成最終協(xié)議，收購諾布爾能源所有已發(fā)行股票，交易價值50億美元，每股10.38美元。

根據(jù)雪佛龍公司于2020年7月17日的收盤價，諾布爾能源公司將根據(jù)雪佛龍公司的每股1190.0股的價格獲得雪佛龍能源公司的股份，這筆交易的企業(yè)總價值（包括債務(wù)）為130億美元。

雪佛龍表示，收購諾布爾能源為公司提供了低成本、已探明儲量和有吸引力的未開發(fā)資源，這些資源將增強已具有優(yōu)勢的上游投資組合。

諾布爾能源在以色列帶來了低資本、可產(chǎn)生現(xiàn)金的離岸資產(chǎn)，加強了雪佛龍在東地中海的地位，也還提高了雪佛龍在美國的非傳統(tǒng)地位。

雪佛龍董事長兼首席執(zhí)行官邁克爾沃思（Michael Wirth）表示：“我們強大的資產(chǎn)負債表和財務(wù)紀律使我們能夠靈活地在這些充滿挑戰(zhàn)的時期成為優(yōu)質(zhì)資產(chǎn)的買家。”

Chevron to buy Noble Energy in deal valued at $5 billion

Oil major Chevron has entered into a definitive agreement with Noble Energy to acquire all of the outstanding shares of Noble Energy in an all-stock transaction valued at $5 billion, or $10.38 per share.

Based on Chevron’s closing price on 17 July 2020 and under the terms of the agreement, Noble Energy shareholders will receive 0.1191 shares of Chevron for each Noble Energy share, Chevron said on Monday.

The total enterprise value, including debt, of the transaction is $13 billion.

The acquisition of Noble Energy provides Chevron with low-cost, proved reserves and attractive undeveloped resources that will enhance an already advantaged upstream portfolio., Chevron explained.

Noble Energy brings low-capital, cash-generating offshore assets in Israel, strengthening Chevron’s position in the Eastern Mediterranean. Noble Energy also enhances Chevron’s U.S. unconventional position with de-risked acreage in the DJ Basin and 92,000 largely contiguous and adjacent acres in the Permian Basin.

“Our strong balance sheet and financial discipline gives us the flexibility to be a buyer of quality assets during these challenging times”, said Chevron Chairman and CEO Michael Wirth.
