据离岸工程11月19日报道，石油和天然气公司克里斯能源（KrisEnergy）已与BP签署协议，出售其位于印尼近海马六甲海峡Andaman II PSC的参与权益。
10月下旬，克里斯能源表示，它已经接受了一家未具名的“大型国际油气公司”的一份有约束力的收购要约，以出售其在Andaman II产量分成合同中30%的非经营性工作权益。
克里斯能源周二宣布，已与BP就出售事宜签订了有条件的买卖协议，但须获得包括印尼政府在内的所有必要批准，方可转让工作权益。
该公司解释说，此次处置是在考虑了未来勘探成本以及与深水活动相关的风险之后进行的。
该公司表示，董事会认为，将克里斯能源有限的资本用于短期发展融资更为谨慎。
但是，截至本公告之日，尚不能确定或保证出售将完成。
Andaman II PSC是北苏门答腊盆地的一个勘探区块，面积7400平方公里。这一处置符合该集团减轻风险的意愿，减少今后勘探资本支出的意图，以及将有限的财政资源集中于优化孟加拉国和泰国湾现有生产资产的业务，并推动柬埔寨A区块Apsara油田的开发。
Premier石油公司是Andaman II PSC的运营商，拥有40％的权益，穆巴达拉石油公司拥有30％的权益。
还值得一提的是， 穆巴达拉去年7月与Premier石油签署了一项协议，以出售20％的Andaman I和南Andaman总产量分成合同的参与权益。穆巴达拉石油公司是Andaman I和邻近的南Andaman PSC的运营商。

BP revealed as buyer of KrisEnergy’s stake in block offshore Indonesia
Oil and gas company KrisEnergy has signed an agreement with BP for the sale of its participating interest in the Andaman II PSC located in the Malacca Strait, offshore Indonesia.
In late October KrisEnergy said it had accepted a binding letter of offer by an unnamed ‘major international oil and gas company’ for the disposal of its 30% non-operated working interest in the Andaman II production sharing contract.
KrisEnergy announced on Tuesday that it had entered into a conditional sale and purchase agreement with BP for the disposal, subject to obtaining all necessary approvals including from the Government of Indonesia for the assignment of the working interest.
The disposal comes after taking into consideration the future exploration cost and risks associated with deepwater activities, the company explained.
The company said that the board believed it was more prudent to allocate KrisEnergy’s limited capital to funding near-term development.
However, there is no certainty or assurance as at the date of this announcement that the disposal will be completed.
The Andaman II PSC is an exploration block over the North Sumatra Basin covering an area of 7,400 sq. km. The disposal is in line with the group’s risk mitigation, intention to reduce future exposure to exploration capital expenditure and strategy to focus its limited financial resources on optimizing operations at its existing producing assets in Bangladesh and the Gulf of Thailand and progressing the development of the Apsara oil field in Cambodia block A.
Premier Oil is the operator of the Andaman II PSC with a 40% interest and Mubadala Petroleum has a 30% interest.
It is also worth mentioning that Mubadala last July signed an agreement with Premier Oil to farm out a 20 percent participating interest in each of the Andaman I and South Andaman Gross Split Production Sharing Contracts. Mubadala Petroleum is the operator of both the Andaman I and adjacent South Andaman PSCs.
