據(jù)離岸工程網(wǎng)站4月8日消息 據(jù)路透社注意到的高盛集團(tuán)證實(shí)的一份銷(xiāo)售文件顯示，澳大利亞天然氣生產(chǎn)商桑托斯已聘請(qǐng)高盛出售其Dorado石油項(xiàng)目20-30%的股權(quán)，并在西澳大利亞近海進(jìn)行勘探。

Carnarvon擁有Dorado 20%股份，包括1.5億桶石油資源（2C石油儲(chǔ)量）。文件顯示，預(yù)計(jì)2022年上半年將對(duì)其開(kāi)發(fā)作出最終投資決定。

桑托斯的一位發(fā)言人在一份電子郵件聲明中表示：“此次出售符合桑托斯的戰(zhàn)略，即分階段實(shí)施增長(zhǎng)項(xiàng)目，并根據(jù)嚴(yán)格的資本管理審查股本水平。”

文件稱(chēng)，該盆地還遠(yuǎn)未開(kāi)發(fā)，擁有9.9億桶油當(dāng)量的遠(yuǎn)景資源，其中約一半為石油。

桑托斯上個(gè)月最終批準(zhǔn)了其36億美元的巴羅薩天然氣項(xiàng)目，同時(shí)還考慮出售生產(chǎn)Van Gogh油田和生產(chǎn)船52.5%的股份，以及Pyrenees油田29%的股份。

這位發(fā)言人補(bǔ)充說(shuō)：“對(duì)于希望早日投產(chǎn)的競(jìng)購(gòu)者來(lái)說(shuō)，收購(gòu)Van Gogh和Pyrenees將是一種選擇，但不屬于核心銷(xiāo)售的一部分。”

Australia: Santos Looking to Sell Down Stake in Dorado Offshore Oil Project

Australian gas producer Santos has hired Goldman Sachs to sell a 20%-30% stake in its Dorado oil project and Bedout exploration portfolio offshore western Australia, according to a sales document seen by Reuters and confirmed by the group.

Dorado, of which Carnarvon owns 20%, contains 150 million barrels of contingent, so-called 2C oil resources. A final investment decision on its development is expected in the first half of 2022, according to the document.

"This offering is in line with Santos’ strategy which is to phase growth projects and review equity levels consistent with disciplined capital management," a Santos spokesman said in an emailed statement.

The Bedout basin is further from development but contains prospective resources of 990 million barrels of oil equivalent, about half of which is oil, the document said.

Santos, which last month gave the final go-ahead for its $3.6 billion Barossa gas project, is also considering selling a 52.5% stake in the producing Van Gogh oil field and production vessel as well as a 29% stake in the Pyrenees oilfield.

"For bidders looking for early production, buying in to Van Gogh and Pyrenees will be an option, but is not part of the core sale," the spokesman added.
