中国石化新闻网讯 据管道新闻网6月27日消息称,两名熟悉内情的消息人士告诉路透社,处境艰难的石油化工生产商萨索尔已任命顾问,出售其在从莫桑比克到南非的一条天然气管道和该国一家发电厂的股份。
萨索尔公司是全球最大的煤炭发动机燃料生产商,该公司正试图剥离资产,以偿还巨额债务,并避免发行高达20亿美元的配股,但此前并未将莫桑比克资产列为待售对象。
消息人士称,该公司已任命南非莱利银行出售其在莫桑比克共和国管道公司(ROMPCO)中50%的股份,这家合资企业运营着从莫桑比克到南非的管道,全长865公里(537英里)。
萨索尔发言人在一封电子邮件中写道:“我们不对正在进行的商业敏感和/或并购过程置评,也不对市场投机作出反应。”
消息人士称,该公司还任命德勤出售其在Central Termica de Ressano Garcia (CTRG)所持有的49%的股份。根据萨索尔的网站,CTRG是莫桑比克第一座永久性大型天然气发电厂,装机容量为175兆瓦,满足该国近四分之一的能源需求。
莫桑比克国有的国家石油公司(ENH)和南非国有的中央能源基金(CEF)分别持有ROMPCO公司25%的股份。
ENH、CEF和德勤没有立即回应置评请求。莱利银行拒绝置评。
CTRG另外51%的股份由莫桑比克国家电力公司EDM持有。

Sasol to Sell Stakes in Mozambique Pipeline, Power Plant
Struggling petrochemicals producer Sasol has appointed advisers to sell its stakes in a gas pipeline running from Mozambique into South Africa and a power plant in the county, two sources familiar with the matter told Reuters.
Sasol, the world's top producer of motor fuel from coal, is trying to shed assets to pay off its debt pile and avoid a rights issue of up to $2 billion but has not previously flagged the Mozambique assets as up for sale.
It has appointed South Africa's Nedbank to manage the sale of its 50% stake in the Republic of Mozambique Pipeline Company (ROMPCO), the joint venture operating the pipeline that runs 865 kilometers (537 miles) from Mozambique into South Africa, the sources said.
"We do not comment on ongoing commercially sensitive and/or M&A processes and we do not react to market speculation," a Sasol spokesman wrote in an email.
The sources said the company had also appointed Deloitte to sell its 49% stake in Central Termica de Ressano Garcia (CTRG), Mozambique's first permanent large-scale gas power plant which, at a capacity of 175 megawatts, meets almost a quarter of the country's energy demand, according to Sasol's website.
Mozambique's state-run National Hydrocarbon Company (ENH) and South Africa's government-owned Central Energy Fund (CEF) each hold 25% stakes in ROMPCO.
ENH, CEF, and Deloitte did not immediately respond to requests for comment. Nedbank declined to comment.
The other 51% of CTRG is held by Mozambique's state power utility EDM.
