据路透社5月19日休斯顿报道，知情人士透露，凯雷集团正与三家运营管道和码头的公司进行谈判，拟以6.25亿美元出售其在得克萨斯州科珀斯克里斯蒂原油出口码头25%的股权。

消息人士称，凯雷还在与这三家公司商谈，共同运营从休斯顿到科珀斯克里斯蒂的原油管道。目前还无法立即获知这些公司的身份。

凯雷和其他公司正在努力开设至少8家工厂，从美国墨西哥湾沿岸向全球市场出口美国原油。美国目前的日产量超过1200万桶，超过沙特阿拉伯和俄罗斯。上周，美国原油日出口量创下近340万桶的新纪录。

据消息人士称，最早可能在周五就能与在休斯顿运营工厂的三家公司之一达成交易。

该消息人士还透露，这条合资管道将把原油从休斯顿运往科珀斯克里斯蒂，预计日产量在70万至120万桶之间。

Carlyle in talks with pipeline firms to sell 25% stake in U.S. oil export project

Carlyle Group LP is in discussions with three companies that operate pipelines and terminals to sell a 25% stake in its Corpus Christi, Texas, crude oil export terminal for $625 million, according to a source familiar with the matter.

Carlyle is also in talks with the three companies to jointly operate a crude oil pipeline from Houston to Corpus Christi, the source said. The identities of the companies could not be immediately learned.

Carlyle and other companies are working to open at least eight facilities to export U.S. crude oil to global markets from the U.S. Gulf Coast. The United States is now producing more than 12 million barrels per day (bpd), more than Saudi Arabia and Russia. Last week, U.S. crude exports were near a new record at nearly 3.4 million bpd.

A deal with one of the three companies, which operate facilities in Houston, could happen as early as Friday, according to the source.

The joint-venture pipeline would carry crude from Houston to Corpus Christi with an estimated capacity of between 700,000 to 1.2 million barrels per day (bpd), the source said.
