英国派特法考虑出售马来西亚海上石油资产

据彭博新闻社2019年12月6日报道，据知情人士透露，在英国上市的著名油田服务提供商派特法（Petrofac）时下正在考虑以大约3亿美元的价格出售其在马来西亚的资产。

知情人士表示，派特法已开始评估潜在投资者对计划中的撤资计划的兴趣。由于讨论是私下进行的，这些知情人士要求匿名接受采访。其中一位知情人士说，可能出售的资产包括海上油田开发项目PM304的股份。

派特法是最新一家希望将其在马来西亚的投资变现的石油公司。据彭博新闻社10月份的报道，埃克森美孚公司正在考虑出售其在马来西亚的海上资产，有可能筹集多达30亿美元的现金。美国墨菲石油公司3月份已同意以21.3亿美元的价格出售其在马来西亚的投资组合。

周五伦敦早盘，派特法股价下跌了1.8%。

马来西亚是派特法在亚太地区的运营中心。除了海上油田，派特法最近还完成了马来西亚柔佛州一个炼油项目的工程、采购、施工和调试合同，合同价值超过5亿美元。

Petrofac Mulls Offshore Oil Asset Sale in Malaysia

Petrofac Ltd., the U.K.-listed oilfield service provider, is weighing a sale of its Malaysian assets for about $300 million, according to people with knowledge of the matter.

The company has started gauging interest from potential investors on the planned divestment, said the people, asking not to be named as the discussions are private. The assets that could be on sale include a stake in an offshore oil field development known as PM304, one of the people said.

Petrofac is the latest oil company looking to monetize its investments in Malaysia. Exxon Mobil Corp. is considering a sale of its offshore assets in the Southeast Asian nation which could raise as much a $3 billion, Bloomberg News reported in October, while Murphy Oil Corp. in March agreed to sell its portfolio in Malaysia for $2.13 billion.

Shares of Petrofac fell as much as 1.8% in early London trading on Friday.

Malaysia is an operational center for Petrofac in Asia Pacific, according to the company’s website. Besides the offshore oil field, it recently completed an engineering, procurement, construction and commissioning contract worth more than $500 million for a refining project in the state of Johor.
