据路透社2月19日报道，美国石油管道运营商Targa Resources周二表示，将以16亿美元出售其在巴肯地区部分资产的45%股权，以寻求减债。

此次出售给GSO Capital Partners和Blackstone管理的基金，正值美国第三大油田Bakken的管道产能收紧之际，去年油价回升后，石油生产商提高了产量。

Targa的资产位于北达科他州威利斯顿盆地的巴肯和Three Forks Shale地区，包括大约480英里的原油采集管道。

该交易预计将在2019年第二季度完成。

Pipeline firm Targa to sell 45 percent stake in Bakken assets for $1.6 billion

U.S. oil pipeline operator Targa Resources will sell a 45 percent stake in some of its assets in the Bakken region for $1.6 billion as it looks to reduce debt, the company said on Tuesday.

The sale, to funds managed by GSO Capital Partners and Blackstone, comes as pipeline capacity in the Bakken, the third-largest U.S. oil field, has tightened after oil producers ramped up production following a recovery in oil prices last year.

Targa’s assets are located in the Bakken and Three Forks Shale regions of the Williston Basin in North Dakota and includes about 480 miles of crude oil-gathering pipelines.

The deal is expected to close in the second quarter of 2019.
