据离岸工程9月10日报道称，澳大利亚石油和天然气生产商伍德赛德首席执行官周二告诉路透社，该公司正在寻求减持其在国内Scarborough气田和加拿大Kitimat液化天然气（LNG）项目的股份，以减少其资本敞口。

此前有猜测称，沙特阿美公司可能对Scarborough气田感兴趣。该气田一旦被开发出来，将用于扩大伍德赛德公司的冥王星液化天然气生产和出口设施。

伍德赛德持有Scarborough气田75％的股份，该公司还持有加拿大Kitimat项目50％的股份，后者由雪佛龙公司运营。

“我们只是从资本管理和风险管理的角度来看待这一点，我们宁愿减持股权，”科尔曼告诉路透社。“如果我们能够降低资本要求，这也有助于我们为下一个支出周期提供资金。”

“在我们运营的一个重大项目中，我们希望获得40％到60％的股权。这是有道理的。当你是非经营者时，20％到40％之间才是正确的数字，”他说。

Woodside Looks to Sell Gas Assets

Australian oil and gas producer Woodside is seeking to reduce its stakes in the Scarborough gas field at home and in Canada's Kitimat liquefied natural gas (LNG) project to cut its capital exposure, its chief executive told Reuters on Tuesday.

The comments by CEO Peter Coleman came after speculation Saudi Aramco could be interested in Scarborough, a gas resource that, once developed, would feed into and expand Woodside's Pluto LNG production and export facility.

Woodside holds a 75% stake in the Scarborough gas field and 50% of the Kitimat project in Canada, which is operated by Chevron.

"We just look at that and say from a capital management and risk management point of view we would rather hold less equity," Coleman told Reuters. "It also helps us fund through this next expenditure cycle if we can reduce our capital requirement."

"In a major project where we are operating, we would like to be between 40% and 60% equity. It kind of makes sense. When you’re non-operator, anywhere between 20% and 40% is the right number," he said.
