据哈特能源5月28日消息，美国康菲石油宣布完成将旗下持有其澳大利亚西部资产和业务的子公司出售给澳大利亚独立石油公司桑托斯的交易。
这次出售的总价没有变化。然而，在交易完成后，康菲石油和桑托斯石油同意重新安排付款，将原先宣布的13.9亿美元预付款中的1.25亿美元用于巴罗萨油田开发项目的最终投资决定。这使得康菲石油在最终投资决定时获得的总投资达到2亿美元。
桑托斯执行副总裁兼首席运营官Matt Fox表示：“桑托斯在澳大利亚油气行业拥有强大的实力，已经是Bayu-Undan、Darwin LNG和Barossa项目的合资企业。我们很高兴能与一家澳大利亚公司完成这笔交易，该公司将帮助继续开发澳大利亚的石油和天然气资源。康菲石油在澳大利亚已有20多年的成功运营经验，我们期待着通过澳大利亚太平洋LNG项目和勘探活动继续在该国开展业务。”
2020年前三个月，与出售资产相关的产量平均约为每天4.6万桶油当量，而截至2019年底，探明储量约为1700万桶油当量。

ConocoPhillips completes sale of interests in Australia
U.S. firm ConocoPhillips announced the completion of the sale of its subsidiaries that hold its Australia-West assets and operations to Australian independent Santos.
The total consideration for the sale is unchanged; however, in connection with the closing, ConocoPhillips and Santos agreed to restructure the payments such that US$125 million of the originally announced $1.39 billion upfront cash payment would be allocated toward a payment due upon final investment decision of the proposed Barossa development project. This brings the total due to ConocoPhillips upon a final investment decision to $200 million.
“Santos has a strong presence in the Australian oil and gas industry and is already a co-venturer in the Bayu-Undan, Darwin LNG and Barossa projects. We are pleased to close this sale with an Australian company that will help continue the development of Australia’s oil and gas resources,” said Matt Fox, executive vice president and chief operating officer. “ConocoPhillips has more than two decades of local operations success in Australia and we look forward to continuing our presence in the nation with our Australia Pacific LNG project and exploration activities.”
Production associated with the assets being sold averaged approximately 46 thousand barrels of oil equivalent per day (MBOED) for the first three months of 2020, and proved reserves were approximately 17 million barrels of oil equivalent (BOE) at year-end 2019.
